“We sold our place in Kuna in 1973. Jerry and Lois and Jon had move to Nampa in June 1973 and they lived in the house we had purchased in Nampa from June to December while they were having a house built in Nampa. They moved out of our house and into their new house, and we moved from our place in Kuna right in behind them. It is amazing we didn’t have some mix-up in our furniture! We have enjoyed our home at 67 Canyon in Nampa. It is just the right size for us. We have had new carpeting put in and Norman helped us put in a sprinkler system. We have a large garden spot and the girls have helped us the past few years to grow a nice garden. We live just a block from the church. Our bishop Darrel Fullmer lives right across the street from us. Our good friends Maurice and Jean Hatch live just a few houses away. We have nice neighbors all around us and Carol and Norman and Lois and Jerry live just around the corner and a few blocks up the street. The girls walk over often.In July, 1985 our children gave us a Sixtieth wedding anniversary celebration. It was held at Jerry and Lois’s home in their backyard. Many of our relatives from out of town and our good friends came by to see us. We are looking forward to our Sixty-Fifth anniversary this year. We have had much happiness in our married life. We have worked hard and stayed out of debt and have been honest with our fellow beings. We have taught our children the same principles and we have had love and unity in our home. Our Heavenly Father has been very good to us. We appreciate all our many blessings!”
