Barbara's Story

A hot and smoky summer! Haven't listed the farm yet but working on getting things ready. 2018...A little change since Feb post. We are not going to Boise after all! My pulmonologist said last wee that I'm doing very well and don't really need a lower altitude. So for now, staying put, but eventually, we'll end up in Boise. Going to the Moose Lodge tonight and have corn beef and cabbage with Jim and Karen Sexton, be nice to have an evening out. FEBRUARY 2018....Soon approaching our 7th anniversary. Very recently, Vern and i both got the flu. Vern recovered in a few days, but i kept getting worse and ended up in the hospital for 6 days! Been home now for almost 2 weeks, on 1L of oxygen for a little longer. Recommended we move to a lower altitude, so probably in May, we'll take our RV to Boise and hang out there for a few months, see how it goes. Vern leased the farm out a couple of months ago, so that has made it easier for this decision. July 2011 I last wrote that I'd be traveling around for the next year. Well, things change! I did travel to Bend and lived with my oldest daughter from mid-February until the end of March. Then moved to Klamath Falls and lived with my cousin Sandi until the end of April. Then, Vern Howard and I drove to Cannon Beach, OR, where we met up with Jim and Linda Wood and Dottie Miles, and Vern and I married on April 30th! We honeymooned down the coast for a few days and arrived home to start our new life! And it is truly wonderful for both of us! It's been over 3 months now and we've accomplished a lot on...Expand for more
the farm and in the house, plus done some traveling. Between us, we have 7 children, 18 grandchildren and 5 greatgrandchildren, none of whom live in K Falls! Therefore, the traveling! If you are in K Falls, please feel free to call or just stop by! OLD STORY Thinking back over 50 years ago, who could have imagined the reality of the future? The imaginings were more in the order of fairytales...Cinderella for one! My reality is being divorced at the age of 68! Who would have thought! Soon, I'll legally be known as Barbara Reed again...wow! During the next year, will be traveling and visiting between Bend, K Falls, Brookings, Medford, Portland and Boise. First though, the end of this month, my oldest daughter and I are flying to L.A. to be in the audience of the Oprah Winfrey After the Oscars show on Feb. 28th! Can't believe it! We are pretty excited about that! My new grandson, Trey Parker Searcy is 6 months old now and quite handsome, I might add! Just 19 hours after he was born, my 5th greatgrandchild was born, a little girl named Mireya Annabella Svea Diaz! She's a real cutie! So, another chapter in life unfolds. April, 2020...Vern and I sold the farm and are moving to Meridian, ID, the end of May. We've purchased a home there on a cul-de-sac in a nice neighborhood. I am more excited than Vern, as it's difficult to give up farming, even though you know it's time! It v looks like the class reunion for this year has been canceled. Hard to make plans and reservations with the pandemic. Pray you all are staying smart and well.
