Nanny is what my grandkids call their great grandmother. My mother wanted to be called Nana. I don't knit, but I love crocheting for my grandkids. A sweet write, Jean! Congrats on your win! Blessings, Kim

Here it is Granny Kim. My children call me Mammy which I have always found strange. I expected Mum, like I used.

Hi Jan. Like me you are up late. My mum's mum was a typical granny, a small lady with granny glasses, (the ones with no rims). She was a gentle soul. My dad's mum died when I was only two. Sad you missed out on that relationship. A piece of the jigsaw puzzle of our lives.
