It was impossible to fit everyone at the Southfork dinner table, so the family had to settle for dining out for each evening of the visit. They were still waiting for the others to arrive.“Knots Landing sounds like such a beautiful place, Valene,” Miss Phyllis said with a smile. “Nolan often took several trips out to California while we were still living together, but he refused to ever take me. And, I’m sure he took one of his many mistresses along.”“That’s why I can’t understand why you even want to go to his Christmas party, Auntie Phyllis,” J.R. retorted.“Well, Junior, I figured that if I go, it’ll prove to him once and for all that I can be around him and not feel intimidated.”“Perhaps this summer, you could come down to visit us in Knots Landing, Auntie Phyllis,” Gary said. “Even better the whole family!”J.R. rolled his eyes, but he tried to hide his reaction.Miss Phyllis’ face beamed. “That sounds like such a wonderful idea, but… I don’t want to intrude.”“It wouldn’t be an intrusion at all, Miss Phyllis, believe me. Our summers are usually pretty dull, so it would be refreshing to have company,” Val assured, patting Miss Phyllis’ hand.Just then, Bobby and Sue Ellen arrived at the table.“J.R.,” Bobby began, “if you plan on pulling what you did this morning again, then tell us right now so that Sue Ellen and I can find some place else to eat!”“I’m truly very sorry for doing that to you two. It was a bad joke, and I’ll never do that again….”Lucy rolled her eyes, commenting, “Oh, brother – that speech again. We haven’t even eaten yet, and I’m already losing my appetite!”The waitress appeared at the table and asked if they’re ready to order.“No, not yet. We’re still waiting for one more person,” Miss Phyllis answered. After the waitress left the table, she began to reflect on the past. “I remember when I was growing up, this building used to be a family restaurant, always very crowded, especially Sunday mornings. That's back in the day when everyone in Braddock knew everyone else. I think it was called Wade’s.“Wade’s?!” Bobby asked curiously. “Were they related to Jenna?”“As a matter of fact, yes, they were-“ Miss Phyllis stopped herself. “You know, we better stop talking about her so that we don’t upset Ray.”Ray appeared a few moments later and sat with the others. “Now, before anyone says anything, I’m doing fine. Things just weren’t working out for Jenna and me. It was meant to happen this way.”“If you need anything, Ray,” Bobby began, “we’re all here for you.”</blockquote>
