We enjoyed a splendid trip to Memphis for the Memphis in May celebration. Angela Potter hosted a party with friends and family for her 40th birthday. We drove downtown with Sonia Willis and took the trolley to the park. Here’s the lineup.

• Symphony, Blues, and Soul music on stage
• Air Show
• Fireworks
• Good eats with friends

The in-laws watched the twins. Sonia was my air show buddy saying all the right things when the planes came rumbling through and maneuvering the sky with their stunts. The trolley ride home was a blast. The conductor’s microphone was so muffled that a lady, somewhat tipsy, echoed her version of what he said. “One dollar, no change. Main St. stop.”
