Meet George.


This is George.
You may call him Mister Fix It
George and his wife, Lucille (you may sigh at how the adorable-ness), are our wonderful landlords. We LOVE George and Lucille and often find ourselves in their living room talking for an hour before we even realize time has passed at all. And we never leave their home without food. We love George and Lucille.
Two adorable things I must share about this couple before I explain the manliness that is pictured above..
1.George is extremely hard of hearing. His hand is constantly attached to the side of his head as if to cone the soundwaves more directly into his ear. Despite the fact that he rarely hears everything you say he smiles and pretends your story is the most pleasant and compelling thing he's ever heard.
2.These two are the King and Queen of flirting! George will tell Lucille how pretty she is almost constantly and tap her foot playfully as we talk. They also call each other Mom and Dad..too cute.
Pictured above is the famous George himself fixing our tub. You see, George is the ultimate handy man. It would take me all day to list off the things he has done and the number of houses just in our neighborhood he has built with his own hands but if you're interested ask husband. Husband knows basically everything there is to know about George and his accomplishments and could talk for hours about "how much of a man" he is :) We've lived in our apartment for 10 months, in that time George has fixed our sink, re-roofed our bathroom, patched up leaks, painted walls and reattached our soap dish in our tub. We've kept him busy, and he loves it ;)
Hubs and I are infinitely grateful for George and Lucille and the love and service they give despite the fact that they are 84 and 87 years old (not joking). They are such a wonderful examples of life-long service and loving your neighbors! Thanks George and Lucille, for teaching us how to grow old together.

I (not so) secretly want to be them when we get to be old and wise.
Seeing them together makes me so grateful to have Kimball for a husband, I can't imagine growing old and flirting with anyone but him.
