I cannot stop smiling. My brother-in-law's name is Jerome. And my sister would be "that wife".

That is psychic! I couldn't seem to come up with anything else from the picture. I first wrote it up as an arrival, then realized the word departure was right there in front of me...had to reload! Glad you got a smile out of Jerome.
