Around the world in 90 years.
The Official Start of the Birthday Party
Brenda escorts Janett in the room awaiting her with friends, photos, albums and catered food.
98 year old Thelma arrives early with her children
Janett gets many BIG hugs
Charlene and John come from Washington, DC
Fran and Franklin drive over from Atlanta
Brenda, Mimi, and Cindy some of Janett's oldest friends in Athens,
Our busy camera man who captured all the attendees
The crowds gather to hear the "as requested" brief presentation
Janett is seated with her box of tissues and Cindy Darden begins with the program.
Janett today resembles the young Janett. Could all those years have passed??
Tables hold posters of Janett's family, education, career, geneaology, African projects, Antiqua projects, friends, sign collection, and favorite foods
Around the world in 90 years included photos of signs,
Janett's stress foods including depression fudge.
And these flowers enhance the celebration.
The punch is poured.
The cake is ready to be cut.
Janett walks to the cake to maker her wish.
One candle represents that Janett is the "one and only".
Wait all the Hoopala is not over...one more announcement about Janett's application for the highest award in the field of home economics.
The cake is all gone...must be time to go home.
