1) Elvis Presley Quotes:

"We do two shows a night for five weeks. A lotta times we’ll go upstairs and sing until daylight — gospel songs. We grew up with it...It more or less puts your mind at ease. It does mine."

-Talking about the informal jam sessions he and the band and entourage enjoy each night during the lengthy Vegas engagements. These happen upstairs in Elvis’ suite at the Las Vegas Hilton as they all try to "wind down" from the excitement and energy of the live shows. Quote is from a 1972 taped interview used in MGM’s documentary "Elvis on Tour".

"A lot has been written and said about why he was so great, but I think the best way to appreciate his greatness is just to go back and play some of the old records...Time has a way of being very unkind to old records, but Elvis' keep getting better and better."
Huey Lewis

"Elvis was the king. No doubt about it. People like myself, Mick Jagger and all the others only followed in his footsteps."
Rod Stewart

"He was a unique artist — an original in an area of imitators."
Mick Jagger

Lisa Marie Quotes

∙ I never not wanted to be a singer. Since I was 3, I knew this was what I wanted to do. Well, I can't say I wanted to do it, but I fantasized and thought about it all the time. I never thought it would actually happen.

∙ I really went back through a lot of the dark corridors of my life in this. I wanted people to know who I am based on my music, not on what they read in the tabloids.

∙ I remember him watching me through the crack of a door singing with a hairbrush. I was in front of his mirror. I think he wanted me to sing. He would get me on the table and make me sing sometimes or play the piano. He was very encouraging on that front.

2) Elvis Presley & other Legends

Elvis Presley was a generous man. Not only to those who worked for him, his family and friends, but often to strangers and regular gifts to charities, both national and local. Christmas time every year Elvis would donate around $100,000 to organized charities.

Some of Elvis’s generous gifts donated to charities would become public knowledge , but the rest of the donations were only known to a hand full of people, who were directly involved in the life of Elvis Presley.

These generous gifts in total, annually would reach a figure of 2 million dollars during the period of Elvis’s life when he was able to distribute that amount of money to organized charities.

There were also some small gifts generously given, one of which went to a crippled lady. Elvis personally delivered a brand new wheelchair.

Large and small amounts were generously given to relatives, friends and those who worked for him were also very much considered, with motorcycles, Cadillac’s, horses, trucks and cash gifts, TCB and TLC necklaces were a symbolized gift given to the guys who worked for him and their wives, identification bracelets and Christmas gifts.

Bonus’s were considered as a small part of his generosity.

Elvis offered many wonderful gifts to his family and friends. His generosity at times would involve building a beautiful new home for his father Vernon and wife Dee.

Elvis bought Joe Esposito a house in California. He gave Jerry Schilling $30,000 to buy a home also in California.

He had given a $50,000 cheque to the Motion Picture Relief Fund Home and Hospital. This large amount was one of the largest ever given and was accepted on behalf of the Hospital, by Frank Sinatra.

When it came to a special occasion, like Weddings. Elvis had great joy in these occasions. He picked up the expenses for Joe Esposito and Jenny Schilling wedding in 1970.

There were also others, Elvis paid for Dick Grobs wedding. Then his wedding gift to Dick and Marilyn, was a new automobile.

4) Favourite Elvis song Lyrics for
A Little Less Conversation

Baby close your eyes and listen to the music
Drifting through a summer breeze
Its a groovy night and I can show you how to use it
Come along with me and put your mind at ease

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation aint satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Come on baby Im tired of talking
Grab your coat and lets start walking
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Dont procrastinate, dont articulate
Girl its getting late, gettin upset waitin around

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation aint satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

5) Party Planner tips:
"Cakes To Suit Your Party Needs!"

Parties, of any type, will never be complete unless cake has been baked or purchased.

It has always been a part of any celebration whether birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and more.

Therefore, it is important to seek the best cake that would suit your event, style and theme.

Cakes come in different shapes and sizes, colors and flavors.

It is best to personalize the cake so that it will have a touch of you or the person to whom you will give it to.

There are new kinds of cakes that have become popular in parties like:

∙ Chocolate cakes

∙ Fruit cakes

∙ Sponge cake

∙ Cupcakes and miniature cakes

∙ Fairy cakes

∙ Photo cake

∙ Company corporate cakes

∙ Egg-less cakes

∙ Gluten free cakes

∙ Cakes for diabetics

∙ And other cakes for special allergies

Photo cakes have gained popularity over the years because of its personalized features.

You just have to submit the photo which you want to use on your cake and they turn it into an edible photo cake-top decoration.

Not only photos can be used but also clip art or company logos.

These cakes are a very unique, fun, novelty and personalized way of showing appreciation to someone, wishing him the best.

You do not have to worry a bit, if you are rushing to buy your cake.

You can even order online, just tell them your motif and theme for the party; they will let you see the graphic of their designed cake, get your approval and bake it.

It would cost a little more than the usual cake but it's worth it.

But if you really want to do it on your own, you do not need to be an expert.

Just get some helpful tips on the right websites and you are ready to whip.

As for wedding cakes, another very important event in one's life, like birthday or company cakes, the key is to again personalize it.

But this time it will be the couple’s personal style which would stand out.

Cakes not only introduce the couple into married life during the reception but also the cake must show the most vital qualities of the relationship of the married couple before the marriage.

More than personalizing it and decorations, is the taste.

Be sure that the tastes are not overpowering each other, if the cake is both sweet and minty.

If it is chocolate, it is necessary to check on the cake, if the taste is intense or subtle.

Cake is the best way to top all your party planning activities.

Remember, a party is never complete without cake.

Some humour to put a smile on your face!

Kids Stories

Children's sermon:
One Easter Sunday morning as the minister was preaching the children's sermon; he reached into his bag of props and pulled out an egg. He pointed at the egg and asked the children, "What's in here?" "I know!" a little boy exclaimed. "Pantyhose!"

Grandma's age:
Little Johnny asked his grandma how old she was. Grandma answered, "39 and holding." Johnny thought for a moment, and then said, "And how old would you be if you let go?"

Prayers:
The Sunday school teacher asked, "Now, Johnny, tell me, do you say prayers before eating?" "No sir," he replied, "We don't have to. My mom is a good cook!"

The mood ring:
"My husband bought me a mood ring the other day. When I'm in a good mood it turns green. When I'm in a bad mood, it leaves a red mark on his forehead."

Turn-About is Fair:
When my three-year-old son opened the birthday gift from his grandmother, he discovered a water pistol. He squealed with delight and headed for the nearest sink. I was not so pleased. I turned to my mother and said, "I'm surprised at you. Don't you remember how we used to drive you crazy with water guns?" My mother smiled and replied..."Oh, I remember."
