Yeah, it is really funny when I talk about granny, and mom's cousins talk about granny. They know my mother is their first cousin, but assume that since I am their age, that she was my grandma, not my greatgrandma. Heck, mom has first cousins younger than me!

Granny had 8 kiddos in all ~wow~ I cannot imagine having children at the same time my children are having children. The age difference between my grandpa and aunt Trudy (his sister) is 26 years. Aunt Trudy is younger than my mother.

I've always thought it was funny that my grama gave birth to her first child 2 weeks after her mom gave birth. Grama rode the train from Meridian out to Abilene to be with her mom then came home and had her first baby.

Sad though, Grama had 3 babies but my mom was the only one who lived. Other 2 died at birth. Still, I was the oldest of the oldest of the oldest and I've like your cousins. It's assumed that great-grama was my grama cause I'm older than them and she was their grandma. There's a whole passel of her grandkids younger than great-grandkids. LOL

I keep remindin' myself that I'm still younger than she was when she had her last kid though.....
