My Grammy O’Connor grew up in County Clare, Ireland. She moved to Hartford when she was 20 years old and now lives in West Hartford. I love her Irish accent. She and Mother love to bake and cook together. Mother and my cousin Deirdre are introducing her to vegan food. Grammy is a huge animal lover. She has three small dogs and seven cats.
