Favorite Family Heirlooms

My grandpa worked for Kendall Oil his entire career, so anything Kendall related is high on my save list. There is one item in particular tho, that I will cherish for the rest of my life. See, my grandma loved squirrels, and had a squirrel friend that she called Chucky. He would come up to her door every day, she would open the door and he would hop up on the sill and she would give him a peanut butter cracker. He would sit there and eat it, then give a “Chuck Chuck” noise and take off. When my artist friend heard about her love for squirrels, she made my grandma this squirrel made from pipe cleaners. That was her medium, and she was a master artist with them. We call him Chucky in honor of my grandma, and he lives on the dashboard of my Roadrunner, and for 25 years lived on the dash of my GTX. It just doesn’t feel right driving without him, and the Roadrunner didn’t feel like my car until Chucky was safe at home in there. My brother also has a squirrel in his car for the same reason.
