You ain't nuthin' but a hounddog!

We went to Graceland, Baby! The home of Elvis Pressley. It is really a neat place. We learned that Elvis bought Graceland in 1959 for $100,000. WOW! He bought it from a doctor and his wife who built it on land given to them by the doctor’s Aunt Grace, so they named it Graceland in honor of her. Elvis bought one of his two private airplanes for $200,000 and spent $800,000 to customize it! It was quite obvious that his home was decorated in the era of bright colors, apparently his favorite color was BLUE! The boys barely knew the name before we got there, but let me tell you, they are all about The King now! They want to know what his biggest hits were, why he died, if he could have lived longer had he not gotten addicted to drugs and alcohol, and if he was in Heaven. Well, only God knows the answer to the last question, but we certainly are glad that they are concerned about his salvation! I think that it is pretty cool that all 3 boys think that Elvis Pressley is cool as a musician and an actor. The Legend lives on!
