Mother’s Day this year was a special one for Sherry Alford. Not only did she and Mack celebrate the holiday with Glen and Jennifer Alford Walker and their children, Emily, Grace, and Joseph, but they were present for Joseph’s baptism.

It had been a long time since the Alfords were able to visit Macon, Georgia, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. The Walkers are frequent visitors to Mississippi where they like the country and all of the things they cannot do in the city.

The charming 457 Pecan was the site of a family shower honoring Macy Martin and Tanner Rhodes on Sunday afternoon, May 23 given by the Myatt and Marshall families.   

It was a lovely shower with tables in black and white checked cloths, floral centerpieces of pastel flowers, and beams of bright sunshine pouring through the sun porch windows. The refreshment table in the music room with the elegant silver and floral wallpaper held a generous selection of delectable delicacies. A tall arrangement of fresh flowers centered the table. Cookies iced in white frosting with the words, “love, Tanner & Macy, or an R” were written on each in gold or white letters accented by a spray of greenery and a flower. A multi tiered strawberry cake was another delightful treat. Pink punch was served from a crystal punchbowl in matching cups. 

A gift table covered in a white cloth with a floral arrangement was filled with beautifully wrapped presents for the couple. One unwrapped gift propped against the wall was a picture framed in white distressed wood with the name, “Rhodes” crocheted in ecru thread mounted on a black background. 

Hostesses for this happy event were Lynn Alford, Mallory Bowlin, Polly Hall, Sue Hall, Beth Johnson, Lynda Marshall, Lisa Michelletti, Jo Myatt, Maggie Rhodes, and Marlee Rhodes.
