Uncle Jack and Christy
My Mom's Uncle Jack is a great guy. One of the family members that reminds me of fun family reunions, when he would always greet me with a big hug and a cry of "Hi Gracie!' I always feel that he's glad to see me again. He's also a pillar of the small community he lives in, and still plays golf and volunteers. We visited Uncle Jack at his country home a while back, and the boys loved playing with his frisky, somewhat ornery dog, Christy. Uncle Jack says she's bossy, always imposing her will on Luke, his grandson's dog. They're both herding dogs lots of energy, so they loved running with the boys and fetching balls. Uncle Jack's property is on a hill looking out over farm fields and woods. Being a country girl at heart, I was happy soaking up the beautiful surroundings. We love you, Uncle Jack!
