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!

I'm gonna have to watch the Sopranos to get the lowdown on this card...but the Ruth Less had me for awhile...then I started to crack up! Your card rocks and your story is even better. How are you gonna fit Rocky and this guy on one card though...that'll be a challenge for sure!

You did an awesome job on coloring Aunt Ruth. If Aunt Ruth is bringing Judy a giraffe, then I want her to bring a monkey for Izzy to play with.
I have printed up tickets for the Rocky-Bubba event, they go on sale on Monday. Should be a sell out!
