Mae's Real Stories

Myrtle wrote me a real Halloween story about her mother (our Aunt Bernadine): "One year, Merilyn's kids -- Andy, Don, and Leslie -- had the chicken pox and were unable to go trick or treating. My Mother called Marcia up and asked her to drive. Mother dressed up in one of Dad's suits, and had Marcia take her to all of the relatives' houses, and she trick or treated for Merilyn's kids."

Like my mother, Aunt Bernadine never learned to drive a car herself, so she would have to get a ride when she needed one. Marcia and Aunt Sadie often drove her places like in this story.

Myrtle also corrected me: what was once a 5¢ size Hershey bar is now 75¢ !
