Auntie Extraordinary
Monday 23 Jul 07 | Category: People
This is my Auntie Elsie. She’s quite extraordinary. She’s 94 years old, lives on her own, does all her own cooking and cleaning and maintains a very colourful and productive garden. Talking with her is always an uplifting experience and I caught up with her at a family get-together this weekend. I know her next-door neighbour suffers from MS and is wheelchair-bound and so I asked after her.
“Well dear, she likes to get out when she can but her husband pushes her around so quickly that she doesn’t have time to look in all the shops.”
“Oh dear”
“Yes, so I took her out last week and we had lots of time so she was able to see all the shops she wanted”
“Really? Excellent. In her wheelchair?”
“Yes dear”
“Is it an electric one?”
“No, but it’s very light”
