Fee and I had a lovely time on our road trip. We were lucky enough to be in Hot Springs for their monthly Gallery Walk which was a great opportunity to view some wonderful art pieces.
In Memphis, we stayed at the Peabody and laughed at the children who got such a kick out of the Peabody Duck Walk. We visited Beale Street, but the heat and humidity dampened our enthusiasm, and we sought places to sit and have a beer more for the opportunity to let the sweat dry than for the music.
We got to see some spectacular 4th of July Fireworks in Memphis and in Natchez. A great way to spend the July 4th holiday!
We stayed at the Peabody too! We loved Memphis.
ReplyDeleteThose horses look interesting! Glad you had a fun trip.
ReplyDeleteHey Jenclair, I made a second AAQI quilt and just finished it. This one was inspired by you! You posted a photo of a house block and that got my brain whirring away. I'll post pics tonight.
ReplyDeleteRian - When my daughter (who used to visit Memphis frequently for work) heard we were going to Memphis, she insisted we stay at the Peabody. Such a lovely old hotel with the marvelous tradition of the duck walk!
ReplyDeleteDebra - The horses are huge! Made of jade and tiger's eye and other interesting materials with such wonderful craftsman ship. There was a life-size carriage in another area made of carved jade, but the huge carved ivory pieces were most enchanting.
Mary - I'll be looking for your pics! I have another idea for the next one. I've begun piecing a background, but haven't had much time since getting back home.
