Usage examples of popi.

She was either playing with their son, helping him with schoolwork, visiting Popi or squeezing in time to work on one of her inventions.

Although Annie reminded her grandfather that he himself had never stepped his oil-tanned oxfords onto a plane, she knew Popi was right.

But Popi was the most honest person Annie ever knew-and the most forthright.

But all Popi probably cared about right now was getting a seat near Father McDonough in the church basement so her grandfather could hear the bingo numbers being called out.

Maxi was gone and Popi had planned an ice-fishing trip with the winners of the setback tournament who were staying in a cabin near Cloudcroft.

For a fleeting moment she felt worried for Popi, then relaxed as she remembered that Popi was a die- hard New Englander, who was always prepared for a blizzard.
