What a lovely little story. Mary Poppins (the more enigmatic book version rather than the movie Mary) has been my role model most of my life. In the book, she always appeared stern on the surface but then would make all these wonderful, other-worldly things happen to her and the children, only to deny it afterwards, but there was always a telltale sign to counter her denial--like once the kids noticed a tiny spot of gold on her cheek where the sun had kissed her. You and your daughters were so lucky to have a real life Mary Poppins for your Nana.

They were fortunate, I agree. As for me, I have my own live Mary Poppins from the book --you've already admitted patterning yourself after her. You shall be my Mary Poppins. I love adventures!!
