MY BIRTHDAY PARTY !!!!!! BACK TO THE 50'S

Man, was I surprised on Sat. 22 Nov. I had another birthday party. I had my last party 10 years ago but my daughter and son put together a night of fun out with family. The event was at a new place in Shelbyville, Tn called 50's and Fiddles. A 50's style soda shop complete with memorabilia from that era.
Things didn't start out good for the trip as I went to start the car the battery was dead. Good thing the truck was handy and full of gas. My wife finally was ready to go, she's always the last to get ready. I think all women are taught in the third grade to keep men waiting??
Elvis and his date greeted us.
The girls working behind the soda fountain were busy preparing our Bebop Burgers and drinks.

Elvis' favorite sandwich was on the menu, a fried banana and peanut butter. No one ordered one. That Monroe woman was there staring down on all of us. You know the one who couldn't keep her skirt down.Several of my grand kids, nephews and nieces tried playing the juke box but it was only for appearance. We did have music from the 50's piped through the stereo system. A fun night was had by all. I received a photo in a frame of the old log house I lived in as a child and also an ink drawing of the old house. The house is no more but I have memories of living there from age 6 to 8.
