Do you have German roots by any chance? Oma is what I used to call my Grannies in Germany. :)
No, but my husband is Dutch and they call grandparents Oma and Opa also. I like it because when our grandchildren talk about us everyone knows they mean us and not their other grandmothers and grandfathers - their are 5 grandmothers and four grandfathers ( that includes greatgrandmothers and great grandfathers.) We lived in Germany - Hahn- for five years. It is so beautiful there. We lived in Holland for six years - Maastrict, Stein and Uden. It is also beautiful there. We lived in Italy for 2 years and it has a beauty also. Now we are in beautiful Arizona and if you have ever been here you know the beauty is very different from other states.
My sister lived in Maastricht for three years, she went to Uni there. I liked it a lot. I've never been to Arizona, it does sound amazing. Maybe some day...
