Several years ago, we ran into some of DH's aunts at the state fair.
The year before evil JB died, I ran into DH's niece at the fair. Had not seen her in years due to cut off. I did not tell DH that I saw her, but I told her that I saw somebody he knew who knew him and knew me.
I feared that after evil JB heard that we had been seen at the state fair, that she would start making the pilgrimage to go.
But she died before the next one, so I did not have to worry about it.
