80th Birthday


My mother (Rose Mary Semon Nettles) was born born Dec 3, 1927. We celebrated her 80th birthday this weekend with a nice party in Selma, Alabama. All her children and grandchildren were present except our son, John and Tiffany's son Braxton. ....that means Cindy/Gilbert, Mary Jane/Clay, Rose Ellen/Michael and Johnny/Tiffany and 20 grandchildren were in attendance. AND in addition, Mama's siblings, Uncle Manny and Aunt Dessie made it and friends from UMW, PineBelt, the surrounding communities AND some relatives drove from neighboring states to attend! It was a happy occasion for all and we're planning to do it again in 20 years!
