Currently in Albuquerque NM (Low 41 Partly Sunny and Breezy High 71)
Bob recently had one of those "it's a small world" moments recently.
He was wearing a Kansas City Royals World Series t-shirt which caught the attention of a couple checking in the RV Park while he was getting propane. As we talked about the Royals and Kansas City we mentioned our home towns. Bob recognized the home town and said he had family history there naming a couple of families. The lady had the same families, turns out her Grandmother and Bob's Grandmother were sisters so we are second cousins.
This is the second such event. The first being Bob's second cousin near Newton Iowa that received our mail forwarding by mistake that we blogged about earlier here. Turns out his grandfather and Bob's grandfather were brothers.
It truly is a small world after all, and we apologize if that song is playing in your heads right now.
Till next time,
Bob and Jo
