Everyone need an “Uncle Gene” if they don’t already have one.

I have someone in my family like that. And as in this case, the dog is not impressed.

Enjoy the Mme. D on the wall.

Uncle Gene will provide for an evenings worth of entertainment.

Well, if Millicent catches him with her curtains and dragging them on the ground, there’s going to be some drama for sure.

If his feet get tangled in that white material, it could be a very dramatic trip.

Gene has always been given to fits of drama.

In High School he would give us all a 20 minute soliloquy on disappointment if he got a “C” on the math test.

Gosh…. an old friend of mine could be his soulmate!

Funny thing is, she has no idea… and constantly (and very dramatically) accuses others of being dramatic, especially if anyone tries to counter her melodramatic pronouncements with a dose of reality.

Trouble is, she’s too old for Uncle Gene…. going on 90.

Gives one hope though… there’s something comforting in knowing that we don’t have to lose all our drama by 90.

PS…. Don’t worry if you don’t see me for a few days.

I’ll be out of town, without my computer….

and I don’t know about internet access for my tablet.

I’ll try…. but if I can’t get here, see you next week!

Wait till they find out what you did with the drapes; it will be curtains for you Gene, curtains, I say.

Ya gotta love the “blue suede shoes”! ;o)

Not another drama Gene.

Uncles can be that way. Aunts, too.

Gene, Gene! The dancing machine!

But but ….

It worked for Carol Burnette.

And let’s not even talk about what he does when he has to go to the bathroom…

Looks like someone overdosed on the Mamma Mia! soundtrack…

Wow!!!

Every family has an Uncle Gene or Aunt Tallulah.

Uncle Gene – The Drama Queen !

“Oh me, oh my, oh joy! For I am the queen of the May. Tra la, tra la, tra la!!!”
