365- They Call Her Tiffany We Call Her Chucklina

So its about time I did a photo post, how about we share a little bit about what me and my missionary friends do....

26. They Call Her Tiffany 

Chucklina Mugshots 

This is Chucklina aka Tiffany. You know, like the bride of Chucky? Don't worry, I have never seen those films, and NEVER intend too. I learned about Chucky, in the woods, in the middle of nowhere Russia, dead of night. It was fall 2009. Our master story teller, a wonderful spinner of tales Ashley, at our request for a scary story told me and a bunch of other girls who sat huddled in our tent about the infamous Chucky. Haillie and I were thoroughly freaked out. For the next year it was guaranteed that someone would make a  Chucky reference about every day, Miles was Chucky possessed, Chucky lives in Sarah's attic, or don't go in that room! Chucky’s in there! , etc. There was one particular day summer 2010 when Haillie was over at my house and we were doing our usual Dumpster Diving run, taking our bikes and scouring the neighborhood for neat things, we came up on some run down green houses, so of course we decided to go inside. Now you see in Russia, the whole privet property thing doesn't really stand unless the owner has a really big dog or a 12 foot fence. So this was totally legit....I think. 

As we wandered around these greenhouses we kept a lookout for any cool odds or ends, that's when we found the big army green trunk. We attempted to get it out of the greenhouse, it was right up against the windows, So I climbed over it to try and lift from that side, as I was leaning down to pick it up Haillie shouted, 'MADI. DOnt....move.' So I freeze, 'Ok, don't freak out, but there is a doll behind you and she looks really scary and neglected...she probably has a grudge against children too'

'There is not,' I said laughing as I turned around, and sure enough sitting right behind me, on the floor next to the window, surrounded by shards of glass sat this doll. I might have screamed....I don't remember...

I could have died that day, just imagine if haillie hadn't said anything, this doll could have snuck right up behind me and sliced my throat with a shard of formerly echo friendly glass.

So we named her Chucklina and we made sure to put her back. Every time we go by those greenhouses we check to make sure she is still there. I took Tasha and Cady back there sometime later that year, then summer 2011 Sarah came to visit us in Russia, so we showed her. Last I checked back was September, and if I remember correctly,

She wasn't there.

DUN DUN DUN dunnnnn

But we may never know, because our landlord sold the house that we lived in then, which was near these greenhouses, so I may never see her again.....

Hopefully....

P.S. yes, I am sure you are all wondering if me and Haillie ever got that amazing green box, well, we did get it out of there. And since we were on bikes we couldn’t carry it back with us. So we hid it in a field. Vowing to come back next weekend when she came over again to pick it up,  when we came back they had plowed the field and our box was gone….so sad….

She totally rocks that bandage ponytail huh....

OH MY WORD SHE'S AFTER YOU.

The green houses are just past that building, we've explored that building as well. But that's another story.

Inside Greenhouse number 1.

Old electrical boxes, yes we push every red button we see....not such a good idea.
