Since you asked.......
Yes, one commenter DID ask...what MY Grammy name will be. It has long been decided. You see, when my daughter in law and son were engaged, there was a period of time when they were separated by miles....she lived not far from us, and he was in graduate school in Atlanta. {I've lived the long distance relationship gig, and it's not easy. Of course, when I lived it, there were NO CELL PHONES, people. Yes, back in the dark ages.....nonetheless, there WERE telephones. But our phone bills cost us an arm and a leg....and we survived, but it was hard}.
So back to my story.....she would visit us often while they were apart. In fact, I remember one weekend, the weekend of his birthday actually, she was planning to fly over and surprise him. She drove to the big, big airport nearby only to find that because of ice and snow, all flights to Atlanta were suspended pretty much for the weekend. She was soooooo sad. She called me in tears! So I told her to come on over and stay with us for the weekend, and we'd try to keep her mind off of being so sad....so very sad. I think it was that very weekend that my "name" was born. She had her mind on Atlanta, remember. In one of our discussions, she told me that her name for her own grandma had always been Bitsy, and that she thought we needed a name for me so that someday their children would have an equally memorable name to call me rather than the typical grammy kind of name. So I think since her mind was really on Atlanta, she decided my name should be Peaches.....yes, Peaches. So it stuck. In fact, when I began to help with the quints, we decided to try it out. So for 20 months, I have been Peaches to the quints, and it has proven to be a very good grammy kind of name. I now will be Peaches in the TRUE Grammy sense and that is what my grammy name will be....end of story. Thanks for hanging around until the end of the story. :D

A Giveaway!!!!!!
Remember how I talked about having my own giveaway last week before I left for Hotlanta??? {Oh, I had a fabulous time by the way..hosted by an adorable friend and joined by two other simply terrific friends for a very last minute weekend get together. I was there for a training conference for church and ended up getting to stay over another night to see these friends}...anyway, back to the Giveaway. Ok, so it's no secret I love Southern Lady Magazine and it's other little project magazine called Celebrate......yes, you will remember I talked about it here. So it seems I have a new friend over at the Hoffman Publications!! Wendy contacted me to offer assitance in some great pics for sharing some of the recipes with you...and also she has agreed to let me GIVE AWAY a subscription to the Celebrate Magazine as well as a couple of back issues from last spring and summer......this is great, too because these ideas are timeless and you will not want to throw these issues away for the great ideas that are found within its pages! Oh my goodness!
Ok, you probably want to know how to enter the giveaway, right??? I know I would if I were you!
So hop on over to Hoffman Media and check out ALL the publications they have.....come back and tell me one that you already knew about. Leave a comment and you are entered! Blogging about it will certainly score you points and another entry. (I'll need to know if you do decide to blog about it, and refer back to my blog as the giveaway post). And then we will have TWO winners here at Southern Inspiration. One lucky winner will get the year's subscription and the other lucky winner will get the two back issues from Spring and Summer of last year. You will LOVE what you find there in those magazines!! Goodness gracious! It's a red-letter day!!! OH AND THE DRAWING WILL BE HELD ON FRIDAY OF THIS WEEK!!
