How is your mama doing, my friend? If you don't mind me checking on her. Much love. :heart:
Thank you she is a little up and down - I think she is just very worried about my poor little aunt - sadly my aunt is about to start intensive chemo and then radio and there has been a delay as she has had to have a feeding tube inserted to build her up a little before she can start treatment she has wasted away
 
Hello, ladies!
I’m here, too.
Used to play his records and watch his movies endlessly while he was still alive. My one regret was that I never got to see him in concert.
I managed to make an Elvis fan out of one son. He plays Jailhouse Rock, and was Elvis on more Halloweens than I can recall. Knows the words to so many songs, not even I know some of those! My other son prefers newer artists. But both understand that if it weren’t for Elvis, music would have evolved differently. He started it all.

Here’s one video I put on when I feel like I need a boost. That smile at the beginning of this one gets me every single time.

Oh, and right now I’m listening to an Elvis audiobook, too, although I have read dozens of books and know his story by heart, there is always one little nugget of new info in each book I pick up.


Hi there! Ooohhh that is one of my very favorite live performances, I love Polk Salad! :)

Oh no, I am so very sorry to hear that, my friend. I will be praying for her and your family. And as always, your mama of course.

Sending prayers for you and your mum, hugs to you
Oh my sweet friend. I am praying for her and you and your whole family. God hears us I know. Sending many prayers up and hugs to you.
Thank you ladies- the last 36 hours have been tough but she is hanging in there - she is hooked up to so much machinery and looks so tiny frail and vulnerable - she is 4 months from her 90th birthday and I’m praying so so hard

Oh bless her heart. And yours. We're right there with you in spirit. Thinking of y'all. May God wrap His arms of love and healing around her. In Jesus's name. :heart:

The above schedule shows it also scheduled for 10 PM tonight on PBS's main Chicago channel WTTW but it's NOT on WTTW's own schedule BUT they DO list it for tomorrow (Sunday) night starting at 10PM Central. Since it's PBS, there will probably be 2 or 3 breaks to sell related CDs or videos. (Here's the first break right now, 20 minutes in.)

Enjoy!
