1. Rocky has been doing some serious research into his family's background. He has been driven to do so by a Black Tom cat in the neighborhood by the name of Bubba. Bubba is threatening, beats him up occassionally, and is trying to move in on his wife, Rochelle! You can read about it here
2. Rocky's counselor has given up and given him the go ahead to take matters into his own hands. Rocky watches the Sopranos so he has some ideas of his own!
3. It seems he comes from the Less Family from Africa. He has been able to get in touch with one of his Aunts (Aunt Ruth). Rocky explained the situation to Aunt Ruth and she has graciously agreed to travel to the states for a visit and help Rocky take care of this nasty Bubba business.
4. Since Rocky does not know what his Aunt looks like, he asked her to send him a picture. Since postage is hard to come by in the African bush, Aunt Ruth sent her picture along with her travel itinerary!
5. Rocky feels so much better. He is looking forward to early May!
Thanks DawnL for Aunt Ruth's image! Don't worry Bubba won't feel the need to get even!

Oh Cindy~ what are you thinkin' sistah? The Buckle Man is in there snoozing, but I know he must be feeling the vibs, I hear wicked snickering among the snoring! Looks like a challenge, and I think my stamp room is gonna get messy after this! Ai yi yi!
Your card is stunning! Love the rich colors and background. May 5th, eh? Cinco de Mayo. Humm...I am waiting to see what happens next! LYMI, Mrs. Buckle

OMGoodness! I see some trouble brewing. I know Rocky can hold his own and w/ Aunt Ruth beside him you NEVER know what can happen. We will all be patiently, maybe not, waiting for the continuing saga of Rocky and Bubba....
Wow! Cindy, what a FABULOUS card. That tiger rocks. Such beautiful coloring. You are one creative lady. You never cease to amaze me w/ your talent. Awesome, awesome card.
