Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 LOL I am a huckleberry. My grandmother's maiden name was Huckleberry. They were from Germany and did not know English.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Oh my goodness! That's a cool story to pass down in the family, isn't it? When you come to visit me in Alaska we'll have to get out to the bog to pick bilberries and huckleberries, won't we? We have low bush cranberries, bog berries and blueberries everywhere. So are you related to Huckleberry Hound??? Sharon happybutterflies@... wrote: LOL I am a huckleberry. My grandmother's maiden name was Huckleberry. They were from Germany and did not know English.
