On Sunday we drove to Tunica, Mississippi. My dad wanted to see the river. Most people go to Tunica to gamble at the casinos. These are amazing buildings themed and growing right out of a cotton field.
We found a park, which we all agreed was some sort of payoff by the casinos. It has a beautiful observation building, river boat dock and a museum about the river. The Mississippi River.
Christopher and I were not aware of another beautiful park, without the observation building and museum right here in Memphis. It is a mere 3.3 miles from the apartment.
I walked Champ in this much closer park. I found myself doing what I do when I walk in a city. Looking for homeless camps, squats or other evidence of people living on the street. I saw 2 tents in a wooded area. I was up on a bluff looking down. Turning around and looking up I saw multi-million dollar homes.
I wondered if they knew their neighbors.

I'm happy you're blogging.
I'll keep checking here for more postings...Memphis sounds beautiful!
I thought you'd want to know a lot of your kids keep asking about you. They want your address, so they can write. I keep redirecting the conversation to something like Nurse Kathy's kick-ass BBQ. Then they start talking about pizza, and your kick-ass chocolate cake.
You've become the new K. Finn to them, Jen. They really love you.
