Yours Truly was reminiscing today....going through some old blog posts back from when it all began.  It's hard for me to believe that I've been in Memphis 10 months already.  As I read my very first blog, it mentioned I was writing it so I'd have something to do since I didn't have any friends....yet!  I am so happy and thankful to report that situation has been REMEDIED!!! 

Enter Clare Myers.  I met her my very first day working at FedEx Freight and she has become my #1 girl

here in Memphis!!!  Her loving personality, beautiful smile, friendly manner and lovely southern drawl all make her so captivating and FUN!!!  She has graciously shared many of her friends and introduce Yours Truly to some very nice people!  Val, Susan, Heather, Amber....just to name a few.  It didn't take Clare and I long to become "partners in crime"!!  She has recently earned a great promotion and moved to another office building.  To say I miss her greatly is an understatement!  Yes, we still talk & text & chat & email almost daily...but I miss seeing her smiling face! 

I've met some other wonderful people along the way as well.  West and I have become "regulars" at our favorite neighborhood haunt, Double J's Smokehouse And Saloon.  It's had many a mention here in this blog.  The folks all know us by name and a few even text to let us know we're missed when we happen to miss trivia night!  And, I cannot fail to mention the sweet Lucinda!  She's moved downtown since I met her and is just a few blocks up the street.  It's nice having her so close by.  She is a good patio buddy and loves to sit out and have a beverage after work as much as I do!

And, I cannot forget the FABULOUS Patty!!!  Patty Harper and Faultline.  Just a great local band!  I met Patty and the band when they were performing at Wet Willie's on Beale Street.  You might recall that she is the great one that handed me her tambourine the first time I saw them and let me become their Honorary Tamboruine player whenever I go to listen!!  Just a beautiful lady, sweet soul and kindred heart!  Fun to be around anytime!!
