Carol's Life in Photos: Grand times in Littlerock and Memphis

Mom and I in front of Heifer International

Mom and I went to visit the gang in Arkansas and Memphis in May. I had been promising to visit for awhile now and finally said, "we are going." We were there May 9 to the 19. I thought we might be pushing our welcome staying 10 days, but I thing they managed to put up with us. No, really, we had a great, fun time. We visited the headquarters of Heifer International which is one of my favorite charities and the Clinton Library which is one of 30 buildings in the world that has LEED platinum green building award. It does this w/o using any solar power, instead uses natural lighting by being long and narrow and collecting rain water for use in the building in a huge water tower incorporated into the building design

Beckett's Birthday Big #2!

I cannot begin to tell you how much fun we had in these 10 days and how much I love my Littlerock (soon to be Memphis) and Memphis rellies! It was great to spend so much time with Jacki and Larry, Kelsea and Philip, Romey, Archer, and Beckett. We got to see Jacki and Larry's and Kelsea and Philip's new lots in Memphis. Kelsea and Philip's home is beautiful, but they will have more room in their new home. They will be within shouting distance from Jacki and Larry. I got to see Amy and Liam's home in Memphis also. It is a delightful older home with much charm. It was great to spend quite a bit of time with Amy and Liam and to meet Taylor's sweet beautiful wife, Stacy.

I wish we lived closer, but this way we get to really spend time together when we do see each other. It was great to see the area of Memphis that they will be living. It is close to parks and has city charm which is not to be denied. There is a community center that serves amazing lunches each day and has a community garden. I look forward to the houses being built next time I visit!
