My mother was mesmerized when he came to our table to give us all a smooch!
Don't know what that white dot is on his face - think it's a flash or something - it wasn't on his face at the time!
After the show, I drove over to see if I could find the apartment complex Sonny and I lived in when we met. At the time, it was a Singles Only Complex. Well, surprise, surprise, I found it!! It's not a place I'd live in today - still has window unit AC's in the windows and the iron railings on the balconies is pretty rusty! There was a swimming pool in the center when we lived there which is gone now and there were several additional buildings added on. But, it sure brought back some memories! Even my sisters remembered visiting me there ... when they were about 12 years old!!
From Greensboro, we drove to Lewisville to Enchanted Cottage, a huge stamping/scrapbooking store. The only other time I had been there, they were closing in about 15 minutes! This time, we had about an hour to shop (not that my Mom and non-stamping sister loved that!).
On the way home, we passed the Tanglewood exit. Since none of us (except Mom) had ever seen the Christmas lights there, we took a detour and drove through the park. It was wonderful! Another place I'd recommend to you if you're in the area.
Tanglewood Park's Festival of Lights began in 1992. The first Festival of Lights in 1992 was a 1.5 mile route with only twenty five displays. Today the route has grown to just under 4 miles with one hundred eighty displays, of which seventy are animated. Tanglewood begins setting up displays during the month of August to be ready for this large scale event which begins in mid November. There are now over approximately a million individual lights that complete Tanglewood’s Festival of Lights. Tanglewood’s Festival of Lights has been selected as a Top 20 Event in the Southeast and a Top 100 Event in North America

Oh Sharon, so glad you got to go. I have not seen Elvis program, but I always love to go see the "comedies" - though they do not have many comedies as they use too. Great picture of you all together with one of the actors. Glad you had fun!
