Miss Cordelia's

Saturday I woke the boys about 9. Well, Sam was already awake so I woke Neal. His Aunt June invited him to attend their VBS that day and I knew he would have a blast. We dropped him off and headed back to Papas house. I tried to prune back his azalea by the house, but it was HUGE and once I got out the deadwood there was a big hole in the front so I threw in the towel. We had lunch (you guessed it, leftover Gus's!) and rested for a bit. We decided to get out so Sam and I went across the bridge to Harbor Town. We walked down to the river and sat under a tree while Sam threw rocks "in the river" (well, about 3 ft to the rocks further down). He loved it, his exact words were "this is amazing!". We were HOT so we went across the way to the square, to Miss Cordelia's Grocery and got some ice cream and sat on the porch swing and just...sat. It was great, I realized then that I missed that part of Memphis. A variable mix: Seaside cottages of all different colors placed on a New Orleans zero lot-line street with a Charleston air....quite lovely....
