Deborah ... I would have loved an Uncle Thurmond in my life. Not sure how I would have related to him after he'd gone, but he clearly didn't scare you.

I'm so glad he seems to like and approve of Michael.

Thanks for sharing such a lovely story, and for reassuring me ours wasn't the only family to spend inordinate hours in the church. Funny ow, looking back, I realise how much of a business the church was. I should write about that. :)
