Oh, Amy, this is so touching! And truly brought back a flood of memories of visiting my own grandparents when I was little.

Amy, Thank you for sharing such a wonderful part of your family. It is obvious how much love and respect you have for your grandparents and their marriage. I will certainly have to make the spicy bars for the weekend. They sound just delicious.

What a beautiful tribute to your Grandparents, Amy. I think Grandparents are amazing, and have a set that I love like my own parents. Your post reminded me of staying with them and waking up to the smell of bacon, and Grandma whistling every Hymn she knew.
Seriously, this little feature is one of my favorites. I love to read your stories. And also to realize how much food plays such an important role in my life. And why I shouldn’t pig out on it…..but kind of why I do. 🙂
So great. (and the photos are beautiful!)

What a perfect tribute to Mammo and Pop. It’s so beautifully written…I don’t mind admitting that I had got square mouthed (cried) after reading it, but in a good, nostalgic way. I can almost smell the coffee and spicy bars and hear the creak of the porch swing and one of Pop’s silly songs that always made us giggle. Good grief, it seems like it was a million years ago and yesterday all at the same time. I can’t wait to see you guys…only 9sleeps to go!
