Everyone Proud Of Grandma For Staying Awake

BLANCHARD, OK—Members of the Haggerty family expressed wonder and admiration Tuesday night when, at the surprisingly late hour of 10:30 p.m., Grandma finally told them all good night and went to bed. “Wow, she did really good,” said Grandma’s son Ben Haggerty, gesturing toward the kitchen clock as relatives sitting around the table murmured in agreement. “I guess she was really enjoying having all of us here together. She was keeping up with the conversation and everything.” Granddaughter Vanessa recalled that the last time Grandma stayed up late was during last summer’s family reunion, when she not only made it past 10, but even managed to win a few hands of canasta.
