Hubby and I married 12 years later and we honeymooned in Memphis. He had never been to a zoo, so you guessed it, we went to the zoo. I know Memphis may not be the greatest city now, but it holds so many of memories for me.

MEMPHIS ZOO/1959
I grew up in a small town in NE Mississippi, that was a little over an hour from Memphis. In 1959, when I was eight, my sister moved to Memphis. I remember the first time my family and I went to visit her after she moved. She lived in a boarding house, so we picked her up and went to my uncle's house and had lunch and then went to the Zoo. It was the first time I had ever been to a zoo. I am not even sure I knew what a zoo was. We did not have a TV in 1959. But, I was so excited just being at a zoo that I don't think I paid much attention to the animals. I remember the entrance looking the exact same as the one in the picture but there was always a long line to get in.

HUBBY TURNS 64
Hubby turned 64 on yesterday. We had sleet and freezing rain the night before, so we weren't even sure we would be able to go out to eat. We decided to go anyway and the streets weren't bad at all. We went downtown to Bricktown to Kevin Durant's Southern Cuisine Restaurant(KD'S). Tracy had been twice before and loved it, so she decided to treat Melvin there for his birthday. It was really good, but not a meal you could eat every day, that is for sure. Hubby and I are from Mississippi, so we grew up eating meals like this almost every day. But, we cannot do it anymore. Meals like this are now only for special occasions.
The menu lights up when you open it. I thought that was pretty neat.
Hubby with his meal.
Fried chicken with collard greens and yes, that is a waffle underneath the fried chicken. We also ordered cornbread and I think it may have been the best cornbread I have ever eaten. You could taste the bacon grease in it, which I am sure is what made it so good.
After we had finished eating, the waitress came and ask hubby if it was his birthday. She said she thought it was, because she saw Tracy hand him a card and we were taking pictures. She was very observant and very nice. Everyone in the restaurant was. So, after that she brought him out the bowl of ice cream, with a candle in it for his birthday. Everyone was almost too full to eat any, but hubby managed to eat it all though. LOL
