family

I do not have any interesting stories of how my family arrived here or any crazy family members. I sort of know how my family got here, since I have asked before, but I am not sure, and do not feel like I could give good detail. I am though, going to talk about my great-grandma, and her son, which would be my great-uncle. They are both from backwoods rural Tennessee, and to this day, you can tell. They are very hillbilly, and aren't afraid to show it. My uncle wears flannel like it is the hottest fashion style, and my grandma, well she is grandma. She is not afraid to say anything, and always thinks she knows whats best for her, which isn't always the case since she is 95 years old. My grandma has lost some of hillbillyness due to her age, but before that she used to make homemade cornbread, and fry everything in bacon grease, which as unhealthy as that was, tasted so good. My uncle is the same way, he used to own a small farm, mainly used for keeping chickens and pigs, that I used to go and visit the farm with my grandma.

They are not crazy by any means, but I do feel like they are probably the most interesting of my family members, based solely on the fact on where they grew up. My great-grandma and great-uncle both are still alive today, both have a whole list of health problems, and are a walking medical miracle to the rest of the family. That is about all there is to know, on a very brief summary of my great-grandma and great-uncle.
