A journal written about life, retirement and our journey throughout the United States in a 5th wheel, along with our two Shih Tzus, Tanner and Syndey. Written not for notoriety but for our sons, family and friends, so they know where we are at any given time. And particularly for ourselves. Finally, we get to slow down and smell the roses and we don't want to forget any of it. You are welcome to join us as we go 'Down the Road a Piece'.

Beale St. Memphis, TN
Spent the day downtown Memphis again today. Had a good time but as is always the case Jack gets me lost in the "not so desirable" part of town. Today we were on foot and as always I had to pee, so I was not a happy camper. All that seemed to surround us was empty and vandalized buildings; trash. All that was missing were signs around our necks announcing the fact that we were tourist. OMG!!! I could strangle Jack when he does that to me. And he's always done it...just ask our sons. If someone accosted us in Memphis I couldn't run as fast as a 90 year old to save myself; full bladder, bad knees. Yep. It's all good. I enjoyed seeing Memphis' history but I would rather have seen it in a car with the doors locked going 50 mph.
