We went to a family gathering tonight with some cousins I haven't seen in a long long time. I was nervous. I had some resentments and hurt there. It all went very well and I was so happy to reconnect with them and I eventually campaigned to be the desingated gnome driver for the next year. I love me some gmone, who doesn't?
I've just found my new Best Friend Forever. Too bad he can't talk. Wait. Is that a bad thing?
It was great seeing you today. I have a feeling my girls will be begging to visit you guys when they wake up. Thanks for helping make a great Christmas.

Well obviously this whole gnome business requires some explanation. Is it like the Travelocity Gnome on The Amazing Race? Will you win a vacation if you reach the matt first?! I'm glad the family event went well. At least it didn't sound like you had to live in fear of there being moonshine, guns, ignorance and tempers, which is always a concern when attending events at the homes of my seldom seen white trash cousins. Yeah, moonshine. They actually make moonshine.

These gnomes; do they actually speak to you? When you have to drive them around, I mean. Do they tell you where they want to go, or do you get to decide where to take them? I kind of like the idea of a gnome mascot.
Darr, you have relatives that make moonshine too? My Uncle used to have a still, and I had a great Aunt from the Bayou who was pretty mysterious. I never knew what kind of potions and powders I was going to find in her bag. She was so much fun! I really miss her.

We were so glad all of you were able to make it to family Christmas. It was great seeing you and catching up. Mia is an absolute sweetie too. We look forward to checking up on the gnome thru out the year and hopefully we don't have to wait until next Christmas to see you again. We hope it's sooner and more often (not just on online). Take care and have fun with the gnome.
Love, Jim & Tammie
