High School Reunion, Birdeye

At the Memphis Farmer's Market Saturday
Me, Lori, Angelia and Leslie

Sunday, I took the ladies on a tour of Kara's house,
Harmon and Jeanie's farm where we all enjoyed the
turkeys and miniature horses and donkeys, and
tour of Wynne including our presbyterian church.
Angelia took this photo of one of Harmon's miniature donkeys

Saturday on the way to the farmer's market, we stopped at
Twist to see the monument where B.B. King named his
famous guitar Lucille.

The donkeys are so sweet, they like to be petted like dogs!

I was thrilled when some of my neighborhood friends from 5th grade came to Birdeye for a girls weekend. Lori Leiser Manning, Leslie Johnson Williams and Angelia Pope Johnston and I have been friends since 5th grade when we were at Northighlands.  We also cheered together 8th-12th grades and graduated from John Marshall together in 1989.  Lori and Lance Manning have three children grades K-5, Leslie and Bart Williams have two in grades 1st and 4th and Angelia Pope Johnston have two, Reagan will be a senior this year and Bryce is in 7th like Chloe.  We had a great time looking at junior and high school yearbooks, going through Angelia's notes from junior to high school and catching up on classmates.  Saturday, I took them to the Memphis Farmer's Market downtown, Central BBQ, the Loraine Hotel, Graceland, Saddle Creek Shops and Beale Street.  Beale was hopping as the Sunset Symphony was going on and the Grizzles were playing at FedEx Forum.  I think there were about a million people on Beale.  It was a great time catching up and being together.  I think they were most surprised at our chickens, homemade pickles, garden and huge yard.  Angelia wants to have some urban chickens :).  I hope it'll be an annual trip for them!
