School Story:

I went to University of Colorado for one and a half years when John called me and announced, "It's now or never." He drove to Boulder and we ran off to Raton, NM to get married Oct. 9 1954. I stayed quiet and kept living in the Pi Beta Phi house and finished the semester at CU. Annnounced my marriage at dinner at mid-year and John and I drove to Hays, Kansas where we John was in school. Moved to Olney in May and lived at Coen's lake for a while.
We lived in Olney and raised our children here. Vacations in Colorado.
After John died, it was so lonesome here. I needed to get away.
Finally, I bought a second home in Broomfield, CO between Boulder and Denver. Spend my time driving to Texas to see Carol, to Colorado to see Annie, John and Jay. Shawn and Chris come to see me in Olney/Broomfield.

Items remaining in your bucket list:

Gardening and driving, two of my favorite things to do. Spend much of my time on the road going to see family ending up in Colorado as much as I can. So far, in Olney most of the time at present. Hopefully, will get moved to Colorado ASAP if I last!

Events/Factors leading to current home location:

It is nice to be near family in Colorado and it is a nice drive to visit Carol in Texas!

Have a happy birthday! It is good you are close to your family and I hope you are in good health. I live in Florida now but will spend the next three months in Indy with my daughters. I saw Barbara Hostettler passed away a few months ago. She lived in Decatur. Hope you have a big celebration.

How nice to hear from you and see such a sweet picture of you! Cute as ever!
Still have the house in Ill but am out here in Colorado 98%of the time at the present. My home is halfway between Annie & John's and my grandson, Jay's. He is now 43 which I find is hard to believe. I get to see them every day!

15 minute drive puts us at the base of the mountains ready for walking some of the lower trails. I've become used to the altitude but I still get winded in a hurry. At 80, that is NO surprise! 80! Can you believe it?

I hope you are well and looking forward to summer. It will be here soon along with all the brightly colored flowers. Won't it be nice to be outside most of the day again?

Stay well and happy! Keep in touch.

Hope you had a great birthday and looking forward to a healthy and happy New Year in '15! Take care and enjoy those grandchildren and GREAT GRANDCHILDREN!!!! Time sure passes quickly! As you, probably know, John passed away four years ago as well as our only son, Chris at 34 yrs. of age. Heart attack. I still have our two daughters, Annie and Carol. Annie and John have a son, Jay, and Carol is not married, happily living in Texas.
