Gigi means "Great-Grandma" Now doesn't Gigi sound better than Great-Grandma? My hubby and I had 5 children. 3 sons and 2 daughters. We now have 10 Grandchildren, and 6 Great-Grandchildren, with one on the way in May. Therefore, that makes me a "Gigi."
I LOVE the information and can relate to so much of it! Regarding instruments you play - my brother in law, (as a teen) when asked what musical instruments he played would respond:
ReplyDelete"I play two instruments. The piano and my mother's nerves!"
Have a great week and thanks for the lovely intro. I leave with a warm, wide smile!
Great intro thanks so much - always great to get to know fellow bloggers! Let ABC long continue.

Thanks for the intro. ALSO, thanks for your help with the Word Verification problem.
ReplyDeleteGreat introduction Gigi.
ReplyDeleteHello Gigi—
ReplyDeleteGreat intro
I agree, Gigi is much better, it's hip and chic. In the country where I came from it is actually a name hehehe. I would love to taste some of your chili, I love chilis too.
ReplyDeleteYes! Gigi DOES sound better than Grandma! Someday (in the distant future I hope as my son is only 20), I hope to adopt that name too! Guess I'll be Gigi Paula! Loved learning more about you.
ReplyDeleteWow that was quite an alphabet-challenge! So that's where Gigi comes from. I had no idea! :)
ReplyDeleteLots of fun things in your intro, Ann. I guessed that's what Gigi meant. I have great fun, however, with my friend who grew up across the street from me. I love calling her Great Grandma Gloria. It makes me feel so young. LOL

Hello Gigi Ann.

Nice intro, Gigi. I'm liking your reading corner, too :)
ReplyDeleteHow sweet to have a Gigi!
ReplyDeleteThat's why my name is Nana -to me it sounds endearing. Grandma just sounds old to me. Don't mind grocery shopping, because I think of all the yummy food I'll be eating, but I do mind anything in the cleaning department, no Gratification in that:)
ReplyDeleteHi Gigi! I so much enjoyed your intro. Gigi is a great name, wish i had thought of that. Love your reading corner.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to put a character to a face. I like GG, but I'll never attain it as I had my children too late in life to achieve that status. When I became a grandmother I wanted to be called Brendy (my name is Brenda) but my daughter, who is a much more traditional person than I am, said 'No! You're Grandma!' So I'm stuck with it.
ReplyDeleteGigi - love it! We have a few things in common - including almost the same name! I'm not retired though, just starting on a second career. And no grandchildren yet, great or otherwise! lol I too love your reading corner, looks like a super comfy spot to settle in for a reading marathon :)
ReplyDeleteTardiness drives me crazy, too!
ReplyDeleteI know many with the name Gigi :) Love the intro..

I agree with you on Tardiness, no excuse for being late at all. Hi Gigi, yes it does sound so much nicer than great grandma.
ReplyDeleteA pleasure meeting you :)
I do think Gigi is much better then Greatgrandma. . .My sister-in-law called her Greatgrandma Granny :) When my mother became a Greatgrandma my brother tried Granny out on my mom. Let's just say it didn't Go over to well. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Gigi, thank you for your wonderful introduction and accompanying photo. I love that Gigi stands for Great Grandmother and it looks like you have a wonderful family.
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of Gigi - will have to remember that when the grandkids start gifting us with great-grandkids.
ReplyDeletewow, that is a blessing to be a Gigi, great grandmother :)
ReplyDeleteNice intro and cute picture. thanks for sharing.
