Because......................
Charmaine's neighbors moved. Polly, Wally, and their daughter, Dolly. They're moving to a new double-wide on the other side of town. New neighbors are fixing up the place. Barry and Carrie, and their children, Rose, Hyacinth, Daisy, and Larry. They call him "Bud". Their realtors, the Dendron sisters, Phila and Rhoda, were happy to make the quick sale. So much work needs to be done over there. Barry likes to work out in the garden, shirtless. It seems, Carrie does too. Oh my...........

They recently torn down the Capri lounge,
Where, once one could hear "Night Train, Bumble Boogie" and a host of other showstoppers played on the Hammond organ, WITH the pedals.
But, the "Lizard Lounge" got a makeover, has reopened, and is thriving once more.
Charmaine's son, Bruce, took his show 'on the road', entertaining throngs of people (well, tens of people) in little sleepy bedroom towns across the U.S.

Carrie is interested in a central vac system.
Barry is looking into it. He's interested in the new option: the "hide a hose".
PLEASE!

Charmaine came for a visit the other day...having never seen that newfangled air conditioning before she tried to cover it before the cold air got out and the ice inside melted.
Later in the evening, still convinced the "icebox in the window" was broken, she tried her hardest to stuff the leftover fried chicken wings into its vents to keep them for a midnight snack. When she came downstairs from bed to have them that night, she found the cat perched atop the AC, chowing away at the chicken and nearly had a fit, running outside into the street to peer in windows and see if anybody else had this trouble.
Along this time Sherrif Bradford was making his rounds when he saw a familiar sight, Charmaine running around the streets. He pulled up alongside her, tossing her his baton as he yelled "Dont worry Charmaine, you can use my nightstick until you find your baton!"
Still frazzled from the events of the day, and getting equally confused, Charmaine began to twirl the nightstick as she ran around peering in windows.
Around the 5th house she lost control of the nightstick, and it took off from her, breaking a second story bedroom window at the vacant house on the corner. Convinced the owners were going to hunt her down, Charmaine ran home to dye her hair, for the second time this month! Surely the homeowner won't recognize her now...

You heard that, too?
we KNOW she loves the nightstick!
Her cousin Candice, actually spelled Khandyce, and her husband, Karl, retired. Her family had that sweet/hot relish empire. They made both kinds, inspired by Bruce.
The hot was a little too much for some.... sold at the local movie theatre (thee A ter) , some people put it on their wieners , it caused quite a commotion during the feature presentation. They learned and had little packets of Tums available to ward off the belching. A huge success. They added them to the vend o mat, located at the end of the hallway.Some like it spicy, some like it hot, (Hm great movie title)

Once a month, you'd go to her home and find her
in the kitchen making tons of the stuff. Cuisinarts whirring, every imaginable tool at work. She modified a recipe from her good friend, "Heidi".
Once, at a local fair, she ran into her friend, Nancy, a local artist, a painter, actually.
She was so good, you really couldn't see any of the numbers or anything. She was THAT good.
She, too, made a relish, and other condiments. She sold in bulk quantities, mainly to Charmaine.
Why? you ask? WEll, apparently she liked to entertain in her backyard.
Charcoal burned regularly, and, the swing also got quite a workout.[this post was last edited: 7/2/2020-13:15]

Charmaine never let them live that one down...every 4th of July she makes sure that Karl sees her putting the competitors relish on her frankfurter!
Of course NOBODY needs a Tums when Charmaine makes her rootbeer floats...those slide down like nothing a-tall

Exactly!
Sometimes she serves home made lemonade. A recipe she got from her aunt, Millie She would spend summers there with her cousins Billy and Tillie. Gallons of that lemonade flowed all summer long.

Millie won a contest on the radio... a year's supply of
hot dogs, maybe even foot longs, Texas Tommies. She was a wiener winner. They come delivered by Werner Turner, husband of Paige Turner. She couldn't get enough of them. And, who doesn't like relish on their wiener? Sometimes, she'd make a basket of French fries.Don't get me started on THAT!

They were always hot, crispy, but a bit greasy.
Luckily, always ready for a 'crowd', she was fully stocked with moist towelettes.

Andy, did you ever have one of those floats?
I'll bet you did.
She always used to use those long iced tea spoons, to get every drop.
She tried 'purple cows'....vanilla ice cream and grape soda. But, everyone screamed for the RB floats!

Charmaine certainly knows how to entertain
whether it's in the backyard, front yard, (side porch), garage, carport, Newport, etc. Almost any port, for that matter.............
dips, chips, drinks, sausage links, etc, the girl knows how to entertain. Some always want to come back for more.
She did replace her tired, worn carpeting. Parts of the house now sport laminate, easy to wipe up spills. Still, she had new carpets installed. She STILL has cases of unused Glamorene. I'm sure it'll come in handy, especially after she holds her 'open houses'.

Not to be outdone by Millie's barbecue, Charmaine has just ordered 2 cases of extra large jumbo Vienna beef frankfurters for the 4th of July picnic...her baton twirling has really smoothed over recently, so she plans a show for the guests. Will, Bill, and Phil are going to star as the three performing brothers in her little stage show this year. Any song requests?

Is this true?
I heard that Charlamaine changed her name from Charlamay because the kids would tease her at school by saying,"Charla-may or Charla-may not", that plus so many people have trouble per-nouncing anything with more than two syllables. Is it true?

You're absolutely right!
Some of that name goes back to her "sorority!
Some called her "Char". Others called her regularly.

She used to be very close to two of her sister's childre
She called them "My Donnie and my Bonnie", but had very little time for the youngest, "Lonnie".
