The closer it gets to the birth of my first grandbaby the more I realize that I was not 100% happy with the name I had chosen. I settled for "Gram" and Matt, Charlotte, and Steve liked it so I was OK with it too.

Well... I think I want to change it - QUICK - while I still can. I always wanted a name that started with and "S" and I wanted something different from other grandma names.

My daddy used to call me "Sugar". I still have the sweater and football letter with Sugar on it that I wore as a little girl. You see, my dad was the football coach and Athletic Director so my sister and I would always get to have really cool things like the cheerleaders. We had a megaphone necklace, got to be in the homecoming ceremonies, and things like that. Often some of his players and cheerleaders came to pick me up from school and take me home in the afternoon. Did I think I was cool or what!?!?

Anyway... after much more deliberation and deep thought I have decided that I will be Sugar instead of Gram. It is a much more fun name, don'tcha think?

Sorry, Matt and Charlotte. It is my call to name myself. Ya'll got to name Penelope June (PJ). I hope you get used to it. I love ya'll!
