Chasleyland: Ya'll Come In!

Ya'll Come In!

Hi, my name is Chasley, and I am a House Renter.

The painting is of the Chigi Summer Palace where I stayed in Italy. My home for 3 months. How amazing. The picture is from my Grandfather's Retirement Party at the Heritage Center in 1994. Me and Dad.

In college, while all my friends were getting Yurman bracelets and Tory purses, I was getting hand-painted plates. I'm no fool, and I know myself too well. I knew I wouldn't have a Candlelight, and after college, I would be living somewhere... alone.

Merry Christmas! Love, Mackenzie-Childs

The prettiest lamp I've ever seen.

Cherished People

I love Museums.

Rhythm and Blues

“Walking in Memphis” by Lonestar- My dad and I love this song. Every time we are in the car together I play it for him.

“Colors of the Wind” by Judy Kuhn- When Burger King offered their collector’s edition Pocahontas glasses, my Dad was at their drive-thru every time a new character’s cup became available. Thanks to him, I have the complete collection that includes Pocahontas, John Smith, Governor Ratcliffe, Meeko and Powhatan.

“Does He Love You” by Reba McEntire and Linda Davis-For my 7^th Birthday, my parents gave me Reba McEntire tickets. I was thrilled. I have always wanted to be a country singer, and this was going to put me one step closer to my dream. I can honestly say that the concert tickets were one of the best birthday gifts I have ever received.

“John Deere Green” by Joe Diffie- One year, Kenny thought it would be “OK” not to play this country classic at Mallard Ball. He soon learned that I have a slight obsession with Billy Bob and Charlene. So when he sees me in the crowd, he knows to play me this tune.

“Take Me Home, Country Roads” by John Denver- I listened to this song multiple times on my plane ride home from Italy. I couldn’t wait to see my family and friends.

“Just Like Jesse James” by Cher- The first time I heard this song, my mom and I were watching Cher’s Farewell Concert on HBO. It’s quite fantastic.

“Beauty and the Beast” by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson- For Thanksgiving 1998, my Mom, Ms. Gross, Rebecca, Margaret and I traveled to New York. While my Dad and Grandfather were duck hunting in Arkansas, I was enjoying my first trip to the Big Apple. We saw my first Broadway play, Beauty and the Beast. Toni Braxton was Belle, and Mishak Taylor from Designing Women was Chip. This was one of my favorite trips, and every time I am reminded of the Disney movie, I remember our Thanksgiving together.

“Mother, Just Can’t Get Enough” by New Radicals-On the ADPi Hall with our hairbrushes in hand and our imaginary boyfriends close by our sides Jordon, Annie, Emily and I danced around the dorm room screaming the lyrics to this song. Like I’ve always said, someone should videotape our lives.

“Do You Believe in Magic” by The Lovin’ Spoonful- Mary Jeanne and I stayed up one night practicing a dance routine to this beat. I still remember those G-rated moves.

“Y.M.C.A” by The Village People- It was my junior year of high school, and I was selected to represent the class of 2006 for the pep rally competition. They played a song, and I had to give my best performance. The Y.M.C.A was my song, but the only words I knew were “young man”. That’s all I could sing in front of 800 students, teachers and parents. I shimmied by best dance moves in my short denim skirt and wedge heels. My mom has a collection of pictures that her friends snapped as I took off on the gym floor. My mom really hates she missed my performance. Go Wildcats!
