Nana

I am fortunate enough to still have all of my grandparents living.  I have, however, lost some of my great grandparents.  The one that comes to my mind first is my Nana.  She was a small sweet woman who had a feisty side that you didn't want directed at you! Her house was always cozy and welcoming aside from the little barking dogs.  You got used to them though, they were just a part of her.  I can't describe her home's smell, I could never quite pinpoint  it.  It was warm, comforting, and inviting.  When we would go to visit her she would always ask me, "Would you like to have a party?" Then she'd set me at the island in her kitchen with peanuts and soda.  That is something I always looked forward to.  To this day my family has "parties" every weekend.  It may not be at Nana's island but just eating yummy food surrounded by family reminds me of her.
