Family Share

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!

Sharing My World

It’s been awhile so I thought I’d start back easy, thanks to Di’s Share Your World Challenge over at pensitivity 101.

Here are this week’s questions:

How do you like your coffee/tea?

  • Tea. Ughh!!! Much like Ted Lasso, I find it disgusting. Hot, cold, sweet, milky, lemony—it doesn’t matter. Yuck.

  • Coffee. Immediately every morning. Always hot with just a splash of real cream or half and half. NEVER NEVER SUGAR!!!

Are you a dunker (of biscuits/cookies)?

  • Absolutely NOT. If a cookie (or biscuit for my-non USAers) is meant to be soggy then it should come that way. And if we’re talking American biscuits, if they are made right then they don’t need dunked. They are already soft and buttery doughlishishness.

What is your favourite biscuit/cookie?

  • Soft sugar cookies. Mmmm. Or hot chocolate chip cookies. YUM. Or oatmeal chocolate chip … Can’t lie. I love almost all cookies. Except if you stick raisins in them. Which is wrong on every level.

Have you ever baked your own biscuits/cookies?

  • Does slice and bake count? Just kidding. I have baked American biscuits and cookies from scratch. Not often but enough to know, I’m no baker.
