Last Monday a severe storm knocked down trees, especially in East Memphis. on Friday, Sue and our friend Kay Shepard visited Audubon Drive. (I was home sick.) Yes, a tree had fallen on the garage. It could have been worse. Workmen on the scene allowed Sue and Kay to photograph the house and grounds. They could photograph many rooms through the windows. All photos created by Sue Mack. In the front of Audubon Drive, everything looks normal. To the left, a workman is walking towards the problem. Just beyond the gate and fence is the fallen tree.   The tree fell from the neighbor's property through the fence and hit part of the garage. Damage was not severe. . This is what replaced the pool. The pool center was covered and made level to the ground. The blue squares in center occupy the space that was once water.

So actor Tom Berenger, best known for his role in the 1986 Oliver Stone film, Platoon (which also starred Charlie Sheen), and most recently, Inception (starring Leonardo DiCarpio) attended the Memphis Film Festival this weekend. And a few weeks ago, he said this to a reporter who asked if he would visit Graceland while attending the Memphis Film Festival, "I'll be honest with you, there's two things I'm not interested in that everybody else was interested in," said Berenger, 61. "One was Elvis, and the other was the Beatles." Berenger says he loves jazz and blues, but he's more interested in Italian opera and Portuguese fado music. And this was apparent today when the actor stopped in the Sirius XM studio at Graceland today to chat with George Klein. The actor was at Graceland and had yet to tour the mansion.
