One word comes to my mind when I used to hear the word "Granny"...fresh warm baked cookies!!! Many many hours were spent at her house when Richie and I were growing up...watching basketball, borrowing her car, or just stopping in for the AWSOME food, and to say HI...Thanks for the memories Granny...what a generous, thoughtful lady!!
