The first time I ever heard of the Granny likes it in the backyard, I laughed out loud. Granny's house always looked so beat up and old fashioned, and there never seemed to be anyplace for the grandkids to go except for the garage. We had a regular hole-in-the-wall bathroom that we used when someone needed to wash their car, but the rest of the house was always in such bad shape. When I heard about the granny living in an older house, I started to look into it more closely, because it sounded like a great place for our grandsons to grow up..
