Do you have any favorite relatives? My uncle Wayne (dad’s brother) is my favorite uncle. We’ve always been fairly close even though he lives in Texas. In my baby book, my mom filled in little comments people said about me and two of his were “She looks like a little rat” (may explain why I love cheese so much now) and “Well, I see she doesn’t have red hair” (I had blonde hair when I was younger, Wayne has red). Usually my uncle and his wife Denise come to Georgia for Thanksgiving. This year they went to Michigan (where Denise’s family is from) where they were supposed to stay in a lovely little Michigan bed and breakfast. Considering the drama that can happen on Thanksgiving (at least in our family), that was probably the better choice!

I think they’re actually planning to visit sometime during the Christmas holidays or possibly early in the year next year. Either way it’s disappointing for me because I won’t be there to see them. I’m hoping he’ll plan another visit for late Spring, which is when Jo and I are planning to go visit my family back home.
