The subject for today’s JusJoJan is FAMILY.

Love ’em but they drive me crazy. Yep–that’s my people.

if they are too close

but also too far away

that is family

And while we’re on the subject of family, let’s do some sharing …

Di is our host for SYW

Here are this week’s questions:

1. Who is your oldest living relative (aunt, grandparent etc)?

My grandma (mom’s mom) will be 104 this year. 

2. How often do you visit them or is distance a factor?

She lives on the other side of the U.S. from me, so (before COVID) I’d see her a couple of times a year and about once a year in the last couple of years. 

3. Have any of your family lived to be 100?

G’ma is the only one (so far) but her baby sister was in her 90s when she passed. 

4. Would you like to celebrate your 100th birthday?

Maybe-if I’m as cool as my 103 year old grandmother!
