We always go to the area where Jimmy was raised and grew up for our Annual Mitchell Family Fourth Of July get together. With each year, we lose more family members, so of the original Mitchell Family, there is only Uncle Gus left now. He is 85 and has one son, 2 DIL’s, a granddaughter and a grandson along with lots of nieces and nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews, a few greats and an assortment of cousins. Next oldest is my husband whose Mother was Uncle Gus’s sister but we lost her in 1982 on Terri’s birthday. Terri is the oldest of Jimmy’s sister Martha who passed on my birthday in 1991 and our most favorite niece as she tells everyone. She has the most wonderful husband and she tells everyone he is our most fave NIL. Shhh, don’t tell them they are right…. This makes 13 years in a row we have stayed at the RHRV Park area in Calera, AL and we absolutely love camping there in addition to the fact we are close to lots of Uncle Gus’s, Jimmy’s & Terri’s relatives. We always visit the cemetery where Jimmy’s parents are laid to rest along with other cemeteries where more family members are buried. We try to visit as much family as possible there those few days as well as get together with as many of Jimmy’s Class of 1961 Shelby County Classmates as possible. Cracker Barrel always feeds the class really well each visit! Jimmy and I also trek to Birmingham to Dreamland BBQ Inverness every time we are in Calera. This year we also had the added pleasure of my 1st cousin Kathy and her husband Tom joining Jimmy & Terri and Jimmy & I for a for couple of hours for great ribs and awesome fellowship! Anything you choose to eat @ Dreamland Inverness is delicious! Now that I have given you a little of our family history, here is the list of supplies I used to make this page with.
