Cousins

 Today’s automobile:

 This is a hearse that died, but makes a lovely corpse....


 Some thoughts for today:

Sherry had planned to cook her great lasagna and invite the family over on Tuesday. One of the reasons was for Sherece’s Birthday. I was also tackling this RV window thing. 

Monday the doorbell rang and there stood Cousin Dewey currently of Las Vegas.

His last trip to China?  Not sure..

 He will spend a few days here visiting family and friends. His dream is to move to Taiwan and is downsizing out in LV.  He is a bachelor and is the only person in our family that keeps in touch with most everyone. I get lost in our family tree since his dad and mine are from a family of 13 siblings. While here he will bring us up to date to who is left.

This dude has friends ALL OVER THE WORLD. He let me see his phone. He has friends in: the UK, Germany, Spain, japan, China, several Islands, I counted at least 15 names and countries. He has the times best to call them beside their names.

He retired USN, worked and retired CA Bureau of Investigation. He loves movies and movie stars. Lived near Hollywood and has his picture with MANY movie stars.

You know he is a nut wanting to move to Taiwan. Born and raised in the south, he likes to think of NYC as his hometown and declares THAT IS THE PLACE TO LIVE! Anyway he is definitely a colorful cousin. ;-)

He flies out Thursday….

What a fascinating individual!
I wonder if he has plans to write a book someday. If not, maybe you could strongly suggest it. (LOL)

I remember you writing about Cousin Dewey before, Jack! Glad he popped up for another visit in your area! He certainly does seem like a bit of a character!

He looks like a load of fun! He is living the life!
There is always a cousin in the family that keeps up with all the family history. I have one that can date names back to the Indian days. It’s crazy.

What an adventurous life your cousin has had. I wonder what the attraction to Taiwan would be with so many great places in the states that there are. Hope you keep the SMILE quotes going. Smiles are good for everyone!
