Happy Birthday Elvis!

"His kind of music is deplorable, a rancid smelling aphrodisiac...It fosters almost totally negative and destructive reactions in young people. 
                                                                                                ~Frank Sinatra,
                                                                                                       1950's

"There have been many accolades uttered about Elvis' talent and performances through the years, all of which I agree with wholeheartedly. I shall miss him dearly as a friend. He was a warm, considerate and generous man." 
                                                                                      ~Frank Sinatra, 1977 

 And for Lisa @ Coming to Terms.....                                                              

“You know, Bush is always comparing me to Elvis in sort of unflattering ways. I don’t think Bush would have liked Elvis very much, and that’s just another thing that’s wrong with him.”
                                                                                                       ~Bill Clinton
                                                                During the 1992 presidential campaign.

Happy New Year!

What woman couldn't be happy squeezed between these two gorgeous men, with slow Okie drawls?  On the left, my cousin Larry and on the right, his brother and my cousin, Monty.  Here's a previous entry I wrote about how we'd have gotten in lots of trouble if we'd been raised together as kids!  This photo was taken the day after Christmas in front of Larry's beautiful 13 foot holiday tree!
