The highlight of the day was Emmett’s (Bru’s Grandfather) 95th Birthday party, among other desserts there was a Jelly Bean Cake. Apparently a newly discovered dessert in Rocky Mount, but still well enough to be available pre-baked at the local Wal-Mart. Being mostly a German Baptist gathering, there are various hierarchies and protocols. Brining guests that were the furthest travelers to attend the function apparently gave Bru and Nancy a temporary bump in status.
