Garden
Club member--which involves learning to garden in the
high desert--much different from Oregon, and I
consider it much more challenging! Since we're closer
to family now, playing games with them, as well as
belonging to a local game group. The group disbanded
while Covid was raging and now are slowly getting back
to meeting. Now, we are able to see our own kids on a
rather regular basis. Sharon and family live in
Prescott--about 15 minutes away, so we see her family
quite often. Ken and family live in San Juan
Capistrano, CA, which is about a seven hour drive, and
Paul and family live in Kentucky, so we don't see them
as often. This spring we have attended 1 college
graduation, 3 high school graduations, and 1-8th grade
promotion.
What
I have done, etc
During
our marriage we have moved 19 times. Many were back
and forth to the same area for Richard's work. During
that time we lived in Ohio, Virginia, Colorado,
Washington state, Idaho, and now Oregon. We have been
in Oregon for 23 years and before that in the Denver
area for around 20 years. I am retired from teaching
in public schools and preschool/daycare. Kept busy
with church activities involving Vacation Church
School, teaching Sunday School, helping with the after
school program at a local elementary school. We love
to travel--mostly to see the family, but managed to go
to Alaska and Mexico, too. We lived in Oregon for a
total of 25 years before moving in 2015 to Prescott
Valley, Arizona to be nearer family. Nowadays our
travels revolve mostly around visiting our children
and grandchildren and friends in Oregon.
