Grandma could keep a secret?!
Forgot this last night.
Betty, one of the afore-mentioned sisters, reminisced yesterday about taking Grandma to Lexington to see a lady that I remember them talking about--Ma Hattie. (The name alone was always fascinating. Conjured pictures of a gnarled, boney and toothless African American woman in a turbin and calico.) Since they left from Ripley, Ohio, they would go down 68, through Paris and into Lexington. Apparently this trip took place on a fairly regular basis and apparently one of those trips resulted in Betty being stopped in Paris...twice-- once on the way down and once on the way back. Grandma said, "We'll just keep this to ourselves." That was it. She never told a soul.
