"The Trolley"
"Most days are good, yesterday was great when I look back at it. God is so amazing, he creates days worth living full of things I enjoy. Yesterday me and my mom went to see one of her friends from South Carolina. They come here every so often to get Asha, Gail's daughter, her checkups. See she had cancer, she's fine now, but of course she has to come to St. Jude to make sure she's okay. So yesterday we went to pick them up and took them out to eat. It was my first time meeting them but they appear to be extremely nice people. Asha seems to be kinda quite but she laughs and puts in her few words every now and then. Now her mom is very social, nice too, she has a nice style and seems to enjoy life, she does have a lot to enjoy for a fact. She also so does hair like my mom which assisted them with numerous things to talk about. Anyway we went to T.G.I. Fridays for dinner, the one located downtown. After dinner we went and rode the trolley down on the riverfront. Its amazing to see the people who get on and off, their diiferent personalities and attire lol. There was two white people who got on, not a couple but it seemed as if they worked together. The man told me they lived in Michigan so I took it they were here on business and decided to take a ride to get a little familiar with downtown Memphis. The woman and the man talked for awhile just loud enough for me to hear and they sure didn't seem to mind me listening esspecially since earlier the male had asked me something about the Memphis Pyramid. They soon ended up on the conversation of the woman raising Monarch butterflies, which definately caught my interest. She talked about her sister and herself planting milkweed, thats apparently what the butterflies lay their larva on. She then continued in detail explaining what she and her sister did. They bring the butterflies into their houses and nurture them until they become butterflies then she said they ship them somewhere, where they then are fly to a place in Mexico to soon die. Soon after that conversation they got of on Union St where they had got on after going around once and we proceeded our ride. A few more interesting characters got on and off but the intown colleagues were by far the most amusing of all the trolley riders. We, Asha, my mom, Ms.Gail and I, rode around twice after, we got off and walked to the car and took them home or wherethey were staying until they planned to leave for the flight they will be catching today back to the Carolina. I'm not sure when to except to see them again but since St.Jude is one of a kind I figure they will be back for checkups again or we will be visiting them...."
