I read this thinking it meant to say grandmas, and laughed at the thought of grand am vehicles muttering in a tent, but @Melissa_J tells me grandam is actually an old fashioned word for grandmother. Live and learn!

Melissa_J It‘s probably not a typo, grandam is an old-fashioned word for grandmother 😊 6y

ShyBookOwl @Melissa_J No way?! You learn something new every day. Thank you!! 😄 6y

Melissa_J It pretty much translates to great lady. I rather like this old-fashioned version myself 😁 (of course, it could still very well be a typo, but one that just happens to fit!). 6y

ShyBookOwl @Melissa_J Haha well I'm glad my ignorance led me to this fun fact 😊 6y
