Fairfield Years

We finally sold our home in Eureka to Chuck Childers Family and did some house hunting. We could get a new home in Fairfield for the price of a small home in not such a good area in Concord area so we took the plunge and moved our family to Fairfield. We bought a large home with four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths with lots of room for the children. Our children brought their friends home so it was a busy place with lots of activity for all of our teens. I served as the Relief Society president and was very busy, but loved the opportunity to be of service to my dear sisters. We lived there for 17 years until our children all left home, except Amy. We then sold the home and bought a mobile home for a transition until we retired and remoldeled it. During these years, I worked for the Church Education System and Malcolm worked for Contra Costa County. We had a good opportunity to start saving for our retirement as we only had Amy home going to college and working. Malcolm was serving as a Bishop in our ward part of the time and I taught Institute classes. We had good neighbors and enjoyed the area we lived in very much. Several friends lived in our area as well.
