Hi Tiffany
It is nice to finally meet you. This is Randell Blair and you are my Grand Neice on your mother's side of the family. Actually I do think we met once on Christmas Eve at Nannie and Paw John's.
Sherry my wife and I live in Atlanta where Sherry teaches School.
I'm not at all sure what you know about us. Please don't let me be too redundant when telling you about us. I am so proud of you and happy that you are traveling to Australia. It is funny in a way because we were very interested in going to Australia while we were in college during the stone age when a Radio Shack caculator cost over $100. I hope you will have a wonderful time while you are there. Also I hope you will drop me an e-mail occasionally. I'll be keeping up with your blog and look forward to your many adventures.
I am hoping your Mom and Dad will visit us in June.
Take Care
All my love
Your Grand Uncle
Randell
