Walking in Memphis

This past weekend I took the "fam" down to Memphis to see our old friends Alex and Bernice, and to celebrate a baby shower from another church friend as well. Alex and Bernice's beloved 150lb child Bruno (a bull mastif) was a source of endless fascination and delight for Aeva. He didn't take well to me, but turned into a gentle giant for Aeva. He gave her more than one tongue bath, with each lick easily wrapping around little Aeva's whole head.

Saturday evening the girls stayed in the kitchen talking about who-wants-to-know what, while we guys (Alex, Ronnie, and myself) had good wholesome man talk out on the patio.

Turns out Alex isn't half bad as a grill master. The veggie burgers were great, Alex! Someday soon, you too must become a vegetarian... it is inevitable.

Now, as much as I LOVE baby showers, we boys took a little trip down to the shooting range Sunday afternoon.

Ronnie and me did okay. Alex, on the other hand (Mr. I-don't-know-anything-about-guns) made us look like little girls out there. Somehow, Ronnie and I just didn't believe this marine's claims.
