What better way to
start a Page than with a perfect example of the Christmas Sprit.
The flowers on the left was a gift from our next door neighbors the Kaping's!!
This dear couple take our trash cans to the street & back every week
because we have a steep driveway & are to old to do it. The picture
to the right is a perfect example of how organized my wife Marlene is for
the coming Holiday with Family coming!!
This is
the main course for our Christmas dinner. It is Lasagna that Marlene has
been serving the Family on Christmas day as a means of Celebrating her Italian
Heritage!! The Family does enjoy the taste and the occasion!!
This is the proud lady with her specialty!! She is proud of her Italian
heritage and has been lucky enough to find some relatives that live on
the Island of Ustica, which is off the coast of Sicily!!

Here is
also a picture to prove how old the hosts have become with their artificial
Christmas tree!! Welcome to the home of Ron & Marlene Robershaw for
Christmas 2022!!
These is
a picture of Grandson Neito who prepared the evening meal for the Family
on Christmas Eve. The tray is special for Marlene and I. Neito prepared
the tray from a gift from our special friends Dale & Jackie Tupper
who now live in Arizona. If you look close how organized everything is,
it will help to know that Neito is in the Navy!!
Marlene
is a very organized host, above she is holding a Bible. It has been a tradition
for her and usually the grandkids to take turns reading Luke 2: 1-18 It
tells about the Birth of Jesus!! This time we adults also got to read 3
verse's each since there were only two grand kids!!
Above
is pictures of son John and his two sons Giovanni & Neito opening their
Christmas gift cards from grandparents Ron & Marlene. You can see it was
a warm Christmas day in Ramona, CA. They are all in shorts & it was hard
to get a good picture because of the sunlight behind them!!
What a gift
from daughter Valerie who lives in Oregon!! It is a box of candy from Italy,
named La Florentine-Torrone!!
Another
successful Italian Lasagna dinner for Marlene and Family that were able to attend.
There was also a Pecan pie with and empty pan!!{not shown}That is one of husband
Ron's favorite desserts!!
Yes,
Christmas has come and ended another year. John was kind enough to share his
Family with us and let son Giovanni stay the week to play with his friend Ben.
But the main thing was Geovanni's good attitude to help his grandparents with
the household chores!! Son Tom on the right with Mom Marlene was kind enough
to come down after his Arizona trip for Christmas with wife Kim's parents and
help us with work that needed to be done, that Dad can't do anymore!! Daughter
Natalie came the week before Christmas and shared several gifts with us. She
was spending Christmas with her daughters Rachel & Sarina in LA. It is indeed
a Blessing to live through these Holiday's & see the work of God and his
Love!!
