Last night I read all the news on the western fires (New York Times.) and learned of the town we last lived before are RV journey of 15 years. Bonney Lake, Washington was burned completly. On awaking this morning all I could think about our lives there.

There I volunteer as a Master Gardener in Tacoma, we added a German Shorthaired Pointer to our family. Bob was working as a land surveyor. We applied for Our Social Security. We were both 63 years old and it was 1995. First joined friends of ours for a relaxing time in Washington State Blue Mountains on game lands. After awhile we headed south for the winter months.

Checking internet, I realize that the day 9/11, I remember a great deal as we were than camp in North Central Washington State. The early shift was ours so it was noon before web knew about the planes and New York City. I this brought mind Pearl Harbor Day December 7, 1941. Other dates that are important are V-E Day. The war ending., Kennedy Assassinated, Mt Saint Helens eruption. Now the COVID-19 virus. Anoher day is January 7 1955, the date we were married.

Ill health found us deciding to settle once again. We selected the Boise Area. An internet search of retirement homes gave us 2 in Garden City, 1 in Caldwell and 1 in Meridian. We decided on Tramore in Meridian. We moved in a one bedroom apartment, Kato along with us. Later we moved into a two bedroom apartment. We both had surgeries. I begin growing indoor plants. Knitting, and books became my friends. For several years I did review on every book I read. I am no longer writing reviews. I do comment on some books. Bob begin doing small chores around the building. Kato, our Bengal cat to the moves in stride. We took our furfriends with us until they were ready to cross the RAINBOW BRIDGE.

Reading posts a friend put a post on the number of dogs that had went across the Rainbow Bride. That brought to mind all our furfriends over years.
