Museum. Chilling, breathtaking and left me speechless. When I actually saw the spot where Dr. King was assassinated just gave me chills. I was left speechless after our tour and the visit is forever engrained in me.Afterwards, while in a state of deep emotional retroflect, we toured Gibson Guitars which was informative and fun. Nice to see how my favorite guitar is made.

John, I know we are not supposed to be envious but I am! You are growing so well in your relationship with God and your new "family" and I miss that fellowship! Don't think those around me understand my love for Him and need for more of Him. No one except for the wonderfully, Christ loving Wendy Walker! She gets it and we are growing together. Hopefully we can catch up to the ride you are on! Until then......I Love You and again...I am SO PROUD OF YOU!!!
