I wish it were true, but alas, we are going to have brunch at the Elks and then see the Elvis Presley show.
The Elks Father’s Day Lunch not only features a great menu but also a spectacular show with a rockin’ tribute to the King, starring internationally acclaimed musician and actor Scot Bruce as Elvis. Scot celebrates what made Elvis not only the king of rock & roll, but the King of Cool! See the magic that made a generation swoon in the 1950s and ’60s, before the white jumpsuit, sunglasses, and glitter of Vegas. Along with his 4-piece band, Bruce meticulously and respectfully recreates the electrifying musical excitement of Elvis in his prime, right down to the vintage instruments, hip threads, and grease in his hair. From Elvis’ humble beginnings at Sun Records to the Ed Sullivan Show (when America caught its first glimpse of him), through his Hollywood career, and to his black leather-clad 1968 comeback TV special.
I opened a box from Colleen and thought perhaps I should soak it in the bathtub first, but I took a chance. Wow! I hit the jackpot. A Father’s Day card, a coffee mug, a candle, and a T-shirt!
I drink from it every day when I do the Daily Diary!
How true!
Thank you, Colleen and Mark, for my Father’s Day surprise.
