Grandmother doesn't mean that you have gray hair and you retire and stay home cooking cakes for your grandchildren.
Carine Roitfeld
Image
Grandmother belongs to the generation of women who were satisfied to have men retain their vices, if they removed their hats.
Margaret Deland
Image
Grandmothers are to life what the Ph.D. is to education. There is nothing you can feel, taste, expect, predict, or want that the grandmothers in your family do not know about in detail.

Grandmotherhood initiated me into a world of play, where all things became fresh, alive, and honest again through my grandchildren's eyes. Mostly, it retaught me love.

The latest page I've been working is about the organization of the pantheon of the gods. Who's indebted to whom, how they are related, who screwed whose uncle or grandmother, all of that.

My dad was born in Chicago in 1908... his parents came from Russia. They settled in Chicago, where they lived in a little tiny grocery store with eight or nine children - in the backroom all together - and my grandmother got the idea to go into the movie business.

My favorite thing is when I go back and my mother cooks for me. Because it just throws me back the same flavor. And I try to modify things: I say, Why don't you do this and that? My mother is older, but she cooks a lot, and she doesn't want to change anything. She's a very good cook, and my grandmother was an amazing cook.

Each new generation builds on the work of the previous one, gaining new perspective. New verbs are introduced. We Google strange and dangerous places. We tweet mindlessly to the cosmos. We Facebook our own grandmothers. I, for one, don't want to be left behind.

My grandmother sang, too, and she was really loud. It was this wild kind of singing. I count her among my influences.
Cassandra Wilson

I've always been a foodie. My grandmother got me hooked on cooking.
Debi Mazar

Could I tell them I was sorry their loved one was dead, when he’d tried to kill me? There was no rule of etiquette for this even my grandmother would have been stymied.
Charlaine Harris

In addition to being a nurse, I'm also a small business owner and I taught at a local community college. I'm also a proud mother of three and grandmother of six - all of them wonderful.
