It's my Grandmother's birthday today - celebrating 95 years!!!
Her name is Anastasia.
I'm named after her (Anastasia is my Greek baptised name and Leanne is what I'm called in English - it's a version of Ann and Anastasia)
I'm the eldest of her 7 grandchildren.
She has 7 great grandchildren and 1 more due any day now.
We all enjoyed a great day on Sunday with our extended family for Father's Day and she cut a cake to celebrate this fantastic milestone. 
I really want to use this photo on a layout and I want to journal with a Question/Answer style. I'd love to hear your suggestions about what questions I should ask. All ideas welcome!

Happy Birthday to your Grandma - wow she looks fantastic for 95!!!! I love her name. My questions would be "What's the secret to living a long life and looking so good!" Also - "What is your favourite family tradition?" I'm sure your family has heaps! Hope that helps - would love to hear her answers on these Leanne :)
I have always wanted to hear the story of five things from my grandma...
1) how did you meet grandpa - tell me all the details...dating, wedding...
2) what was your pregnancy experience like when you were carrying my (mom/dad)and what was the birthing experience like back then
3) history question, like titanic, war, vietnam...
4) what is your greatest accomplishment
5) first job?
Hi Leanne she looks amazing for 95.I would probably ask her about her parents as well what it was like for them to be bought up in the a different era to us.take care Kerry xx
You would never believe she's 95 - Happy Birthday Yaya :) :)
(Beautiful photo BTW - really like her hands for some reason)
I'd probably ask about her childhood and giving birth to her babies (things I wish I'd asked my Grandma)
