Gordon's Story
Well, as you may know, I started life at a very early age. Growing up, I had three sisters, no brothers. My sisters had a brother but I didn't. We moved several times, first to Mt. Brydges, west of London, then back to London, then outside of London, on a farm and then back into London again. I got tired of moving so I joined the airforce and only moved 5 times after that. After leaving the airforce in 1964 I moved to Creston, BC and then back to London where I stayed for 2 years before moving to Toronto where I got married before moving back to London and then to Goderich and a year later to Seaforth when I had my own business. After that we (wife and kid) moved to Barrie, Ontario. I've been in that area ever since.
I was divorced in 1979 and remarried in 1983 to Ardis Morris. She had 3 kids and I had 4. Only her children lived with us until they grew up. We now share a property with her eldest daughter and her husband and 4 children. We have ...Expand for more
separate living areas and share over an acre of land.
For over 20 years I have operated my own business, bookkeeping and tax preparation, working from my home. We have a dog, a beautiful pure bred collie, and two cats. We also have a 25 ft Airstream travel trailer which we haul behind our 2002 Chevy Avalanche to various places.
I am now semi-retired drawing my "for life" income from the government and working part time in my business. Between us, Ardis and I have seven children with partners and 13 grandchildren ranging in age from 2 months to 21 years. The newest one I haven't seen yet (as of Jan. 2009) because he lives in China with his parents, my son and his wife, Dounan, a beautiful young lady of Asian decent.
Ardis can retire in three years and then we may travel more....have trailer, will travel. We also own a timeshare in Orlando, Florida and hope to exchange time for some exotic places in the world during the cold season here.
