Nana's Natterings: Family Friday...Tiffany

I remember being at a friend's house in high school and the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's was on tv. I turned to my friend Dianne and said I'm going to name my first daughter Tiffany. I've never loved the movie but I love the name. It was just as well she wasn't our first child as Peter wasn't in love with the name until the next time I was pregnant. (her middle name was because of Princess Anne and sort of after Nan Cheeseman. We are certainly glad she is our daughter and love her very much.

Memories of Tiffany

Dec. 1975

She was very obedient as a child and would almost always choose the right way.
She never looked where she was going but where she had been (or at the people or events going on around her. This lead to several lamp poles being walked into.
She still to this day loves to "people watch"
There used to be an advertisement on t.v. in England about "Would you give your last Rolo away?" and she would!
She loved to play with dolls and would sit on the bottom stair and play church with her dolls.
There used to be a capped off pipe fitting in the corner of our hall that was about 4" high. She used it as a microphone to play church.
Her requesting a song, on the radio and being sent from one department to another all the while she was live on the radio.
Falling face first asleep in her plate of food because of jet lag when she was 4 years old.

Times to duck:

When there is a snow storm and she has to be driven in it.
Flying in an airplane with her.
When someone brings up the subject of scouting. (she is not alone in her thoughts though)
I am sure there are others but let's move on....

Things we love about Tiffany:

When she was born it was October 22 in England but still only the 21st in America. Technically time wise that time hadn't even happened here. So it is fun, that when it is her birthday, she can celebrate it for two days.

'Cause if you know Tiffany she loves her birthday!!!!
