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 a different timeline where Elvis was one of my uncles! 😉

I agree with pretty much all of these…

How FIVE BILLION Pounds of Trash Powers Las Vegas

Music Monday – “I’m free/It took me in my whole life/I got the keys to the cages/I’m ready for bright lights”

Wish I’d been able to see U2 at The Sphere (extra jealous talking to a coworker yesterday who said they’d been!) but YouTube videos will have to suffice…

“Atomic City” – U2

Secular Sunday – Elvis Presley Wedding Chapel

Did I mention we’re going to Vegas for Easter?   What’s that old line – if money is your God, then Vegas is Heaven?  And I think that makes Elvis the analogy’s Jesus. 😉

Saturday Snap – …and that’s why Jason isn’t allowed to deliver storytimes anymore! ;-)

Good article – worth a read…

Music Monday – “He said ‘Son, you ever been to Vegas?’ I said ‘No’/He said ‘That’s where we’re gonna go, You need a change of pace’/And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs/He said ‘I left my wallet in El Segundo’ and proceeded to take two grand of mine/We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel/Asked the bell boy if he’d take me and my monkey as well?”

Such a good song.  Loved the Robbie Williams documentary on Netflix too!
