Just a passing thought...
What happened to Grandma being Grandma? For example my mom wanted to be called Oma (german for Grandma) because she like it better than grandma and got the idea from when we lived in Germany. Drew's Mom (Becky) wanted to be; now to say it correctly stand or sit straight, shoulders back, nose slightly in the air with a hint of British; Grandmama. Dylan, sweet Dylan, heard this when she was trying to teach him to say it and promptly shortened it to Mama, so henceforth she is Mama and Drew's Dad (Mike) is Papa (he wasn't too hip on Grandpapa anyway). I have to give my Dad props he is just plain ol' Grandad. Another example Drew's Grandmother is Grandmere (french) in french it sounds kinda like Granmare but we pronounce it Grameer, and she is never to be referred to as Grandma. Other friends have Meemaw, Mamaw, Mimi, Granny, Pap Pap, Pappy, and my future bro-in law (Clara's) calls his grandmother Honey.
I notice that most of the time Grandma wants to not be Grandma and granddad/pa just go along with whatever.
So what happened to Grandma??????
Just an odd passing thought....
God Bless

I am Bama because their other Grandmothers had different names and I wanted to be special too. Bama is from "Beau's grandma." I am so glad we can keep tabs on you now. Send pictures of your sisters too.
