Our Move

Well, we've finally done it! We have made our move back (home) to California after leaving and moving to Minnesota for 40 years, for years we always talking about going back, but with life happening we found our self calling Minnesota home.  We sold are homes in Minnesota and now are renting in the lovely town of Shingletown, at the elevation of 3200 ft. surrounded by pine tree and deer walking through our yard at all time of the day.  I'm now just a 30 minute drive to see my Mon and sister Pam and can see my brother in 2 hours and also can see our grandson in about 4 hours.  Though we have moved farther away from our daughter Carrie and her husband Mike, they now live on the east coast in the town of Sylva North Carolina. We are looking forward to traveling back to see her and see some to this great country on the way.

We are begin to settle in and become accustom to the weather, it was 70 degrees on Christmas day!!!!
Missing our friend in the great state of Minnesota, but not missing the winters.  We have each left friends and memories back in MN and they are forever with us.  For Virgil its his golfing buddy's and his friends in Big Lake and beyond, as for me I've left my friends I worked with for many years and my New Life Church family.  

2012 & 2013 were a busy years for us with selling of the houses and moving. We did it in 3 trips. 1st trip to come to my niece Chelsea wedding in July 2012, then a second niece Brittany wedding in June 2013 and the last one when we move into our home in Shingletown Oct 15th, 2013.    

 We had two additional wedding in the past few year, Jake married Laure and Jamie married Taylor they gave a grand baby to my brother and Karin,  another great grand baby for Mom. So we were growing as a family we were all being to feel bless after to lose of loved ones in 2010.
