Memaws, Mamaws, and Mimis

When my wife first got to Texas, she had a hard time knowing which grandmother we were talking about because so many of the names sounded essentially the same.

"No, we're not going to see Memaw," I would tell her. "We're going to see Mamaw."

It truly had to be maddening for her, all of those Memaws, Mamaws, Mimis, Gigis, Grandmas, Grannies, Nanas, and Omas. Luckily, she now has it all sorted out.

This video, entitled "Memaw Conquers the Texas Star Flyer," was taken on the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier by Austin-based photographer Dave Mead.
