day! Centrally located so we could continue to travel and see all the great sights in Nevada and road trips to visit family and friends around this country. Unfortunately, my dear beloved husband and best friend, Jerry, passed away suddenly and unexpectdly Jan. 25, 2021. We had celebrated our 18th Wedding Anniversary in November 2020. I was blessed to have known him for 22 years. My life will be missiing so much now that he is gone from this Earth, but he would want me to carry on with our dreams of travel and to write my book! We had attended Jerry's 50th High School reunion in 2012 in La Grande, OR and had such a blast. It was so cool to meet his school mates and hear all the stories, some of which I hadn't heard.! I told him I couldn't wait until we could attend my 50th in Poway in 2021!
We had been to Rancho Bernardo and Poway many times and I even took him over to the campus in 2019 and showed him my locker! It is with a very sad heart that we won't be attending together, if we have one which I hope we do, but he will be with me in my heart and mind along with pictures!
I deciced to stay in Pahrump for a while and just moved into a nice new Townhouse.
Getting settled and going through all of our things which will take time and mixed with sadness, laughter and tears. I am retired but looking forward to going back to college at the campus here in town and get in a few writing classes before doing that book! And always travel, travel, travel....the journey continues....
