My parents Peter Leavitt (94) and June Leavitt (88) in Woodstock Valley received an assortment of gifts yesterday from the Town Hall with a card signed by Allan Walker with a thoughtful message. There are many elderly in Woodstock who are house-bound like my parents. Like my parents, the elderly always appreciate impromptu visits from friends, service providers, and old reliable meals-on-wheels. My parents are also fortunate to have the attention of the White’s, Dana Basteau’s family, and the Walsh’s.
Thanks Allan for your attention to the elderly.
Let’s not forget the elderly of Woodstock especially around the holidays.

Addendum: The snow plow knocked down my parents mailbox; but when I visited my parents tonight, the mailbox was back in place. Thanks to the mailwoman or whoever fixed this for my parents. They thrive on mail as well, and were worried about not receiving delivery. It’s these little things (not so little) that the elderly greatly appreciate. They noticed this at mailtime and were greatly relieved.
MY FAMILY AND I LIVE IN A CITY FAR AWAY AND OFTEN LONG FOR THE RURAL BLISS THAT WE ROMANTICALLY INJECT INTO OUR THOUGHTS OF WOODSTOCK.
THEN WE READ THE BLOG…WHAT DO YOU KNOW! REAL PEOPLE LIVE THERE, WITH REAL-LIFE ISSUES AND…DAILY CARE FOR OTHERS.
I WOULD, ALSO, LIKE TO THANK ALLAN WALKER, THE TOWN HALL, THE MAILBOX PERSON, MEALS-ON-WHEELS AND EVERYONE THAT HAS ENABLED MY PARENTS TO LIVE A TRULY BLISSFUL LIFE IN WOODSTOCK. THIS OF COURSE INCLUDES YOU, JOHN AND BECKI.
