“We sold the place in Kuna in 1973 and bought a nice home in Nampa at 67 Canyon. We moved in December, 1973. Lois and Jerry had lived in the house from June to December when their house was ready to move into so we moved right in as they moved their things out. I don’t know what our neighbors thought about all the trucks and the furniture going out and then other furniture going in all in the same day. It was hectic but worked out all right.
“We haven’t made any major changes to our house except for new paint and new carpeting and flooring in the kitchen and bathroom and adding onto the patio in back. We put in an underground sprinkling and that is a big help. We have had a nice garden every summer and the whole family shares in the help and the produce. We live just a block from the church and not far from a supermarket and other necessary businesses. It’s in a good location and we have good neighbors. Lois and Jerry and Carol and Norman live nearby.
“Nola and Dale live out south of town and we see them often. Jack and Shirley live in Twin Falls and Joe and Sandy live in Michigan. We enjoying having them all home in the summer for a few days each year.
“Beatrice will be 85 on July 28, 1990, and I will be 89 on November 4, 1990. We celebrate our 65th wedding anniversary July 28, 1990 also. We have been happy together all these years and our children say they have seldom heard us argue. We have had extremely good health up until the past few years when some aches and pains have caught up with us. The Lord has been good to us and our children and for this we are thankful.”
