If old Kadizzle had to count his blessings his two daughters would be on the list, and certainly the grand daughter would too. It is bragging time, or perhaps appreciation time, so if you don't want some syrup, and a sentimental old man, then go watch TV.
Many moons ago our first child The Snoocher Bear was born (Erin). She became The Snoocher Bear because we loved to give her a snookle. A snookle is when you take your little two year old and hug and kiss her when she comes in your room in the morning. At first she was a Sneech. You remember the Sneeches on the beaches in the Dr Suess books? Somehow when you give a Sneech a snookle, they become a snooch. If you are hugging and kissing a chubby little snooch it is easy to see how it could become a Snoocher Bear. Sometimes the Snoocher Bear is J. Bear Jones. This is a whole different story. Kadizzle used to get in trouble with a guy named Jones, that is where the J. Bear Jones comes from.
OK, that brings us to the second great hatch, Cheech. Cheech has had so many nick names it is hard to remember them all. Once she was the Pie Monkey. Cheech (Megan) used to love pie as a little one. When Cheech is not Cheech, she is Bee Bumble Bee, or just Bee Bumble for short. Bee Bumble got that name when she was pricked by a feather. Bee Bumble as a tiny little thing got a prick from a feather that came part way through a pillow. Bee Bumble somehow thought she got stung, and seemed to always be concerned about stinging insects.
The Snoocher Bear was an amazing athlete, and scholar. It was the worst scare of our lives when the Snoocher Bear lost a kidney in a basketball accident. To everyone's amazement the old Snooch jumped right up and the next spring was winning track meets again with her hurtling. The Snooch was Queen of her class, and graduated first or second, and went on to one of the top ten schools in the country. Again she was outstanding, and never called home begging for money. Another major accomplishment was she never had her own car until she graduated from college. After college she nailed an excellent job as a manager, for a large company in Chicago. She did not want that life, but found what she did want in her wonderful husband Fran. The Snooch became a representative for states, cities, countries, and other public entities. Her career blossomed. The talent of the Snoocher Bear is her writing ability. This along with her management skills has kept her going strong. Like her sister Cheech she has always had a thirst for learning, and been a very kind person. Currently Erin is helping immigrant families adjust to life in our country. To top it all off Erin is a consummate piano player, and hacks away at the violin.
Erin's greatest accomplishment was with Fran. Together they designed Sylvie. The Commander, and Kadizzle were with Fran and Erin the day they went to pick up their new design. The took Erin in a room to look over the prototypes. The next thing we knew Fran came out of the room where they put Sylvie together and held the little bundle in his arms. The Kadizzles were delighted with the creation.
Now the happy threesome reside in Denver, and Erin is a public relations person for a children's hospital. Fran travels the world making life safe for Microsoft, and other companies to launch new products.
What about Cheech? Like her sister the Cheech turned out to be amazing. First lets deal with her current title Cheech. Once upon a time mom, dad, and Megan were watching a movie. A character in the movie was a drag queen named Cheechi. Well somehow Megan got the name Cheechi.
Megan was born a very creative child. Megan could draw anything, sculpt anything, or create anything she wanted. This talent seemed to come out of the sky, but she did have two grand mothers that went to some of the best art schools in the country. Somehow it got passed on.
If Cheech decides something is going to happen, you can count on it. Cheech was the leader that brought her dance team to fame in high school. She would get up at six in the morning march to school and whip the winners into action. When Megan decided art was her forte, stand back. Getting into the best art schools in the country when you are from Hazen, North Dakota is no simple task. Hazen did not even have an art program, but with her determination Megan put together and art portfolio and the rest is history. Megan was accepted to every major art school except the Rohde Island School of design. Cheech settled on MICA, a school in Baltimore where she flourished. Megan, like Erin, also has a kind heart and while at school working at a food establishment she took the homeless the leftovers every night.
When Megan wanted a job she got it. I don't think there was ever a job Megan wanted that she did not get. Once she got a job designing video graphics. Like her sister Megan can learn anything, and do it quickly. Cheech did some of the graphics for a major video game maker.
Cheech's real passion was clothing design. Off to New York the old Cheech went to start her own company. Her company had fashions in some major magazines, but the fashion business takes a lot of cheese to get going. Not to be discouraged Cheech got on with Macy's and they loved her, but she did not love them after about five years and a little frustration. Cheech jumped ship and now is doing work for K-Mart in New York. Kadizzle is confident Cheech will keep percolating to the top.
Today The Commander, and Kadizzle will hop aboard the big bird and head for Cheech's wedding to Sam.
Like her sister Cheech found a wonderful guy. It will be a marvelous gathering of the tribe. There will be one happy, thankful dad, and mom there for sure.
