Riley recently posted on Twitter that his grandmother was not feeling well. I hope she's recovered enough to enjoy Thanksgiving with the family.

That's good. I love that he calls his grandmother Heart.

We called my American grandmother Mamie. I have no idea where that came from - it wasn't her name, but I suspect it had something to do with things my older brother couldn't pronounce as a baby. For years I thought it *was* her name and I was totally shocked when I found out what her name really was.

I know a couple people who call their grandmother Mamie, though that was odd to me when I first heard of it because I'd only ever known Mamie as a nickname/pet name for Mary.

The only other person I'd ever heard of with the name Mamie was President Eisenhower's wife. I thought it was cool that my grandmother had the same name.

I think it may have started because my brother was practically raised by my grandmother until he was about 4 years old because my dad was in med school and my mom was working to put him through med school. I heard a story once that he started calling her "Momma", which of course, my mom didn't like too much. But he couldn't say "Grandma" or anything like it. This was during the time when Eisenhower was in office, and my mom was a huge fan of his, so she taught him to call her Mamie and the rest of us fell in line. __________________

And somehow the woman with the history degree totally forgot about Mamie Eisenhower.

I've always liked that your Presidents' spouses are given a title and a prominent position in public life. Although the wife (or husband) of our Prime Ministers are visible at official engagements, they're usually just there to "support" the PM - so smile, shake hands, don't do anything embarrassing!

To be fair, I'm sure ours probably do charity work too.
