As kids we were allowed a shot glass serving of wine

Sunday's dinner was traditional Italian started promptly at noon and always with pasta accompanied by a roast of some sort. Grandma's lemonade was made to perfection. My grandfather had huge thumbs and so three of his homemade gnocchi could fill you up

It sounds as if you had a really happy and healthy childhood.
It's nice to hear the love for your grandparents shining through the words of your posts.
