Bruce and I went to Henderson over the weekend. We were driving to Owensboro when Bruce saw the sign for Zion. He loves to go through little towns and said let's go through Zion. I told him we needed to find Granny's house. We did. They've painted it a yellow/tanish type color. Looks pretty much like it did when Ernie took Mom, Dad, Judy and I to see it except it was gray then. It's funny how small it and the yard look! I guess I'm just so much bigger now! LOL! Anyway, after I dropped Bruce off at the track, I went to see if I could find Marie's house. (We were back in Henderson now!) I did. I had a general idea where it was, but I wasn't totally sure. She wasn't home on Fri, but I told the guy living in the apartment I thought was Marie's I'd be back on Sat. She and Jeanne Louise were really glad to see me. Marie lives in the apartment that used to be Ernie's. Her address is 427A Fagan, Henderson, KY. She asked about Mom and Dad and didn't know they were in LNC. We talked for a long time. She is SO lucid and looked so good. She's 88! She told me she thought what caused Mom to lose her mind was the fact she never cared about anything except her family! HUMMM.........? Not sure where that leaves Tunica, quilting, hooking rug, women's groups at church, etc. I was surprised by how much she and Mom looked alike. I never really thought they looked much like each other, but there was a marked resemblence. Sad! Anyway, I thought it needed to be said and done. She asked if I'd keep in touch, and I told her I would. Jeanne and she seemed more like sisters than Mother/daughter! They were both really nice to me and asked about all of you. They said they'd keep Randall on their prayer list, too. Ok, Love you all, Jeanie
