Because of Downton Abbey, Granny has suddenly become very popular and trendy. I was Granny before Downton but I can't take credit as a trendsetter. My late MIL; adored by her seven grandsons and me, her only DIL; was the loveliest soul I ever knew and she was Granny. When my son asked what I wanted to be called, of course I said Granny. You should have seen his smile. SO I am the lucky Granny to two adorable munchkins but Grandma Holli to my second DH's grandson whom I adore equally.
