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 …
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!

body on fire, no escape
blinded by the stars

Thanks to Sunday Wordle for the fun inspiration.

like blood from a stone
words, forsaken on the tongue,
become ash and bone

I was inspired by two challenges today. FOWC offered up FORSAKE and Fake Flamenco’s November Poetry challenge gave us STONE. Visit them both for more inspired words.
