LOL!! OK, Little Hawk, have it your way. Roger and Mimi actually made their living translating Washing Instruction labels into English for the Korean garment industry until they retired to live out of a small Winnebago and drive around the country together in 1992. They put a small punt on the roof of their WInnebago so he could go fishing at various ponds around the country and two lightweight bicycles on the rear, strapped to the spare. They were very happy, but Roger (who always enjoyed a lot of cholesterol) keeled over trying to find his way through the Beltway one summer as they were crossing DC on their way to Mimi's annual Cross-Stitching convention in east Annapolis. The heart attack was fatal, but the Winnebago survived because they had just pulled over to the shoulder in the middle of rush hour to unfold their map of Greater DC. Sobered and grieved, but courageous, Mimi soldiered on and to this day is a regular feature at Cross-Stitch conventions all across this great land of ours, as well as a regular attendee at Amway team rallies.
There never was a plastics vacuum-molding company in their lives. Mimico was their pet name for a ragged and surly calico cat who was put to sleep at the age of thirteen years and the weight of twenty-seven pounds just before they sold the house in White Plains to start their odyssey.



Ya like that better?
