Taleahj
I chose for my grandchildren to call me 'Granny" in honor of
my grandmother, whom I adore. Everyone laughs and says I'm too young
to be a 'granny' but I don't care. My granny was the best and I
want my grandchildren to feel the same way about me.

her great grand-mothers and me by adding our given names therefore,TatTat
Becky,TatTat Berta;&TatTat Ruth.Our other grandchildren also
use these names.

TaTa Di and Grumpy
