Did you have a close relationship with your grandparents? I had a wonderful relationship with all of them. We lived next door to my dad's parents when I was real young & my mom's parent's lived just down the road.

What did you call your grandparents? They were all called mom maw & pa paw

Did your grandparents have any special talents? One of my pa paws was a guitar player & grew the biggest & tastiest tomatoes ever grown. My other pa paw was a (whittler?), I think that's what it's called when you make things out of a piece of wood with a knife.
My ma maw Pricy wrote beautiful poems(my dd takes after her)& could put both of her legs behind her head even as she got older. I don't remember my other ma maw having a talent other than making awsome cinnamon toast.

What is your favorite childhood memory of your grandparents? All my memories are my favorites, but going all the way to the Dairy Queen for an ice cream cone is one of my special ones.
