I am fortunate to have an uncle who is just a few years older than me. It was fun to grow up with an uncle who was old enough to lead outdoor adventures, use a pocket knife, and take us to movies. When he took us to see The Love Bug at the movie theater he bought us Hershey bars AND let us wipe our chocolate covered hands on his WHITE t-shirt. I wish I had a picture of that. He was still young enough to want to spend lots of time with me, my sisters, and cousins. He was lucky; he got to choose to sit at the kid's table at Thanksgiving.He has many talents, but one is the ability to carve monkeys and baskets out of peach pits. He made all of his nieces these peach pit baskets when we were little and we wore them as necklaces. We thought we were really something.
