Merry Christmas 2012 - 23/12/12 Russ & Giva

Celebrating Christmas With My Neighbors

Allen and I spend sometime today with our neighbors this afternoon. Russ and Giva are both 82 y.o. and we have known them since we moved to the area 5 years ago. One of their sons, Ian will be spending Christmas Day with them. As is our tradition with them we are spending a pre-Christmas time with them. Giva is quite sickly the last few years and for as long as we remember she would not step out of her house even for mundane things like having a hair cut and buying some clothes. They would just have a hair dresser come to the house. Having said that she is very alert and has a very good memory still. She keeps up with the latest by watching telly and playing scrabble.
Russ has been taking care of her and her every day needs. He even looked after me (always checked on me to make sure I was well) when Allen was away to pursue his flying dream. On top of this he supplies me with his garden fresh produce like lemons, silver beets, tomatoes, beetroots and ..... flowers.
