July 4
th has always been celebrated, at the
Heatherly household, in two ways. It's, of course the celebration of the birth of our nation. But the
Heatherly's have their very own Yankee Doodle Dandy born on the 4
th of July; Don's Mom.
This year was a very special birthday as we celebrate her 75
th. Don and Susan invited the closest of our relatives which included our daughters and son-in-laws of course, Don's aunt Mattie, Margaret, and Betty. It also included Don's closest cousins Charlene, Sharon, Jimmy, and Steve with their family and kids.
We had a great time eating
Bubba's BBQ, beans, slaw, appetizers, and
Bruster Ice Cream Birthday

cake. We ending the evening looking at some very old home videos and sitting outside on the patio laughing and remembering old times. It's great to get together with family so you don't forget who you are, where you came from, and the people that will always love you no matter what happens to you in life.
Happy
Birthday Momma. I hope you have many many more.
