Yesterday I contacted a Blog site called "The Bestest Blog of All-Time", and offered this site for their site exchange, wherein we post their link, and they post ours ...
Well ... today we're on the blog link on their side bar, and in the last few hours this site has been visited by people from all over the world !!!
The first question by these visitors is likely - "what the heck is The Chipperfield Chronicles?"
How do we answer THAT ???
It is a place of story ... a place to come and sit a spell and enjoy the happenings of a small rural town on the prairies of Manitoba (that's in Canada). It's based on a real place, and there are real people who come and pour coffee and enjoy the community and fellowship that the Coffee shop offers ... some of them pop up around here ... but the names here are usually changed (to protect the innocent and the guilty). The important piece of this place is the STORIES of a small town.
All of us what to hear the stories of where we live. We want to know that our stories are heard and are worth sharing. We want to know that our lives are worth celebrating in story.
And so here, in this place we celebrate the joys and sorrows of a small town in story ... some are borrowed, most are altered, and most of them have a kernel of truth within them ... that's the strength of story. When we read them we say - "I can relate to that ..." or we may have had the exact same experience ourselves ... a good story is worth reading and sharing ...
So, that is what this place is - a place of story ...
Chipperfield's is real, both here in cyberspace, and in a little town called Minnedosa ...
Come on in, sit down and stay a spell ...
