). They always said they had two kinds of grandmothers,one that baked Irish bread and knitted and one that took them to lunch in the city(Boston).....I no longer like to bake, but my grandchildren and I go out to lunch and shopping often.
Funny story about my husband grandparents when he was little. The different names he and his brother had for their Italian grandparents were, NONO cut the wood, a builder, and NONO mustash(sp)no explaining there and Little NONI , not even five feet tall and last but not least he says, was Big NONI over 200 pounds.
Thanks for the smiles about the Noni and Nono names.
Lots of memories coming back to me with this thread.
