“We all go to the beach for one week in the summer and again at Thanksgiving and stay in Nini and Papa’s condo in Destin, Florida. My mom says we’ve been going there ever since we were babies. My younger brothers and I really enjoy that special time with our grandparents,” shares granddaughter MADDIE STROM (Bellevue, Tennessee). Her Nini, SANDRA MEADOWS (Nashville, Tennessee), was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and is a grandmother of four. Maddie says this is one of her absolute favorite things that Nini makes!
