The Family

Queen Bee prides herself as the entertaining and decor expert in the county. She once wallpapered the outhouse with postage stamps. It was a very expensive and labor intensive endeavor.

Uncle Zen is the Go-To Man for inspiration. He hasn't worked a day in forty-seven years so he's had plenty of time to rock on the front porch and ponder the important stuff.

Ever since Cultured Cousin graduated from one of those blasted Seven Sisters colleges, she's had a highfalutin world view. Queen Bee thinks she should spend less time with her nose in her kindle and more time courting suitors at the ice cream socials.

Creepy Brother-in-Law swears he's Queen Bee's deceased sister's widower. Nobody knows for sure. Queen Bee's sister moved out west when Queen Bee inherited the principality  and she inherited the ice fishing shack. Regardless of whether he is in fact family or just a conniving train hobo, Queen Bee enjoys his company and humorous musings and allows him to sleep in the jam cupboard.

Everyone goes to the Fit Sisters for beauty, fashion, and fitness tips. The girls have won the Acorn Festival pageant four years running. They'd be quite annoying, if they weren't so gosh darn cute.

The Nomadic Nephew only comes home for Christmas, but he is kind enough to send Queen Bee postcards once a fortnight. He would have joined the army so that he could see the world for free, but one of the Fit Sisters severed his big toe in a wood chopping contest when the girls were three.  He is a thinker like his father Uncle Zen. Queen Bee fears he will never settle down. It infuriates her that he will only befriend foreigners and stray cats.
