Our children have blessed us with 19 grandchildren, it looks like they are slowing down. 12 girls and 7 boys.

I remember my high school years as some of the most enjoyable and the most painful times of my life. I would never want to repeat those years. I made some great friends and had fun with most everyone who I did things with. I also made many mistakes and wasn't the kind of person I would like to have been. I didn't take school seriously and wish I had. . .

After high school I got a job at the phone company as a telephone operator, before I even got started my Dad got a promotion at work and we moved to Manteca, California.
I attended San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton for a couple of years and then I met Monty and we decided to get married. Monty became a telephone engineer and I did odd jobs until I started having children which didn't take long. As for me semi retired means my children all are grown and living on their own. They live all across the US and I don't see them as much as I would like.
In our life together we've lived in Modesto, Manteca, Taft, Sanger, Manteca, Victorville, back to Manteca-CA, Juneau, Wasilla- AK, Weaverville, Hughson, CA, La Junta, CO, Soldotna, and back to Juneau- AK. 2014, moved to Anchorage, AK I believe we have a few moves left. . .and it happened. We retired and have moved to West Jordan, UT in 2019. We have bought a home in Magna, UT and moved in. Hope this is it for awhile! July 11, 2021 Monty was hospitalized with Covid and passed away August 1, 2021. 😢
I really don’t like getting old and forgetful!
