Janis Bell’s Birthday
Janis Birthday was August 5th. We went down to Cuthbert, Ga and her mother had a fabulous meal for us. Brain and Jodi were there. Janis is Jodi’s Mom. Brandy and Capp were there. Brandy is Jodi’s sister and Capp is her husband, they were married this year. They wer pretty sad, they had lost their dog, it had to be put to sleep. Janis’ Mom. Elizabeth Taylor, and Mr. Taylor are really cool. Mr. Taylor is an excellent carpenter. After a while there you realize these people have never been to a furniture store. He even made the room we were sitting in. His cabinets are just to perfect to believe they did not just come with the house.
Elizabeth is a great southern cook. I really like the Bell’s but they come with tuperware and start talking about the food they have for the week. The birthday girl gets the cake and the first dibs on everything. It does not pay to be polite. I was, and now am dreaming about the ham and divinty.
The meal was garlic mashed potates, meatloaf w/ gravy. The gravy could have been considered and dish itself. Ham, greenbean casserole. rutabagas, fresh slice tomatoes, macaroni salad, sweet potato casserole, homeade rolls, yellow cake with divinity icing, homeade vanilla icecream, and I know I am forgetting something…and Elizabeth does diet during the week so she had real sweet tea, and splenda tea…thank goodness. Janis is a lucky lady! But after you meet her, you’ll say she deserves her terrific family.
I will send a photo of the family. Janis has one son,Adam, who came later and brought his mom a Red Lobster dinner. She has two girls, Jodi and Brandy. Jodi is Brian’s girl and they are engaged. Jodi is a whiz at remoldling. She was drawing up plans for her Mom’s remoldeling. James is putting in hardwoods. Brandy is a lawyer in Columbus. Janis is a nineth grade English teacher. She gives her life to that job, sometimes coming home at 8pm. Janis has lots of Brothers and sisters and one of her sisters live in Grayson around the corner from me. She teachers music in her home.
Happy Birthday to Janis.
