Chuckleberry Beginnings

When Grandma Chuckleberry came to live with us, not only did she bring her knitting and alligator, she also brought the family history. She was lucid on Tuesdays, but the rest of the week was a little touch and go. So we all gathered on Tuesdays to hear what she had to say about the Chuckleberry Family history as well as her thoughts on the far-flung Chuckleberry Nuts that we fondly refer to as 'kin'.

After spending several Tuesdays with Grandma Chuckleberry, we knew we couldn't keep this to ourselves. We contacted a few of the more interesting Chuckleberry descendants to see if they'd like to share their version of the Chuckleberry legacy. We were more than surprised at the enthusiastic response from the extended Chuckleberrys.

We've heard from Cindy, the budding singer/songwriter, who lives in a trailer with her dog, hamster and three parakeets. If we're lucky, she'll share some of her talent with us. We've renewed our acquaintance with Trixie, Cindy's mom, who is beginning a new life after a failed marriage or two. We'll learn about her battle with her addictions to ugly shoes, fast cars and stupid men. Trust me, once you get her started, it's hard to slow down that freight train.

And that's just a start. We have a whole pile of Chuckleberry 'kin' waiting in the wings, just itchin' to share their lives with you. I'm hoping that you'll enjoy these people as much as we have. Oh yeah, we won't forget about Grandma. Tuesday rolls around pretty regularly, so with a little patience, we'll eventually learn all there is to learn about the Chuckleberry heritage.
