Did You Know Elvis Was a Rancher and Cattleman?
SUMMARY: Elvis Presley, the legendary King of Rock ‘n' Roll, owned a lesser-known horse and cattle ranch in Horn Lake, Mississippi, called the Circle G Ranch. Elvis and his wife Priscilla honeymooned there and spent the first two years of their marriage on the property. Spanning 231 acres, the ranch provided a peaceful retreat away from the limelight. Elvis bought the ranch in 1967 and sold it in 1972. Despite not owning it for decades, his presence remains, and fans erected a historical marker there. Plans are underway to restore the property to showcase another side of Elvis's life.

Let’s Go Fishing! | Our Mississippi Home
SUMMARY: This past weekend, we took our grandson to Elvis Presley Lake in Tupelo for a picnic and fishing adventure, evoking cherished childhood memories. Growing up, my favorite activities were often outdoors, like fishing with my dad. We used simple cane poles and dug our own worms, often finding them under a tin sheet in our yard. Dad patiently taught us fishing techniques, often dealing with tangled lines and celebrating each catch. Reflecting on my own independent streak, I saw similarities in my grandson. These experiences taught me the value of time spent together, embodied by my father's unwavering patience and love.
