Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Elvis Is My Uncle? (May 2011)

My cousin in Calgary was surprised when some friends arranged for an Elvis impersonator to come to her 50th birthday celebration. This coincided with my aunt and uncle, also in Calgary, having their 50th Anniversary so it became a bit of a mini-family reunion. A picture of all aunts and uncles present made me imagine […]
