I was just a volunteer at Bethlehem and being an outsider to this county had no idea that Hazel and Joy were mother and daughter. I called one day after 3pm and just remember the lady that answered the phone was rude. To this day, I am not even sure what I called about. I do know I got in my car and came to the school. I am guessing I wanted to talk to Joy and she would not let me or something. So...I get to Joy's office and as we are talking, I tell her this. "I don't know who that bookkeeper is that answers the phone here at the school, but she is rude and should just stay off it!" Joy in her calm manner, just looks at me and says, "So....what did my mother say that made you mad." I about died. I realized then how different Joy was from her mother. I knew Peggy, Joy's sister, and think she is more like her mom than Joy is. Then I met Robin who is a lot like Joy in my book. I love all your family as they are what made you. Now that I am working at a school, I would probably answer the phone just like Hazel did that day. Wonder how many people perceive me as rude due to the fact that this yankee just lays it out there? Most yankees will tell you, if you ask us a question, be ready for the truth, cause we don't dance around the issue. Down here, I have somewhat learned the dance. Either way is ok.

Grandmommie Hazel is quite a character. I can’t wait to hear you put these stories on your blog. Grandmommie Hazel is quite a character.
