Mine were Nana, Boppa, Meemaw and Granddaddy. Now that I think of it, I have no explanation for Boppa. It was always a given, like pi.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My father's parents were FarFar and FarMor (Danish for paternal grandfather/mother), my mom's mother was Granny (her name was Francis, or Franny for short) and her stepdad was Grandpen. (Mom's dad died before he got a nickname.)

Ooh, that looks nice, Beth! I suddenly want a hot tub...and some nature...
It kind of amuses me that they have a gorgeous lodge, and then they have these pretty spare cabins and tents...and a KOA campground!

The campground went KOA just this year - it was always there, but the spots for the tent look better than before -- nice platforms for the tents.
The restaurant is weird - they are trying to be fine dinning in the middle of the woods , but it doesn't quite do that. and on Saturday - they looked like they were trying to be a 20something bar - but with lots of babies and retirees listening to the oh-so-earnest band from Santa Cruz

Thrive to spite them
Bro and I called our grandparents Grandma/Grandpa First name. Actually for some reason we always called G'ma Grandma First Name Middle Name it was kind of rhymey.
I just refer to her as G'ma here and my other grandma as Grandma to make it easier for me to remmber who I've refered to.
My cousin (evidentally) called our grandfather Paw Paw and his kids do that to his father. And my second cousin called his grandfather Papa.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I called both sets of grandparents Grandmother and Granddaddy, using their last names when I needed to distinguish between the two. I'm aware that this is strange.
We meant Annabel to have a Grandma and a Grandmother (that being what all her cousins on my side call my mom) but somehow she's ended up with two Grandmas, distinguished as "in Oklahoma" or "in Alabama."
