Live Oak Years


Alas, we again decided to move. Amanda and Tyler were transferred up to Live Oak, Ca while Tyler worked in Williams, CA. We both bought homes in the KB Subdivision and have nice new homes with all of our choices of options. It has been very fun and a great way to begin our retirement time. It is wonderful to be next door to Amanda's family and has been a blessing as she has been ill with an immunity disorder and requires infusions every three weeks and has had quite a ride with this serious problem. It has been helpful for us to live near and care for the children at times. Malcolm has driven the boys to school and home. I have been asked to be the Stake RS President and enjoy getting to know a lot of new sisters in the Gridley Stake. This is an old area of the LDS Church (100 years) from old pioneer families who settled the area of orchards (peaches, almonds, prunes, walnuts, etc). We are enjoying all the fresh fruits and veggies. Malcolm has done a marvelous job of creating a beautiful back yard with planters and a circular paving stone area with redwood trees and raised garden beds. We are enjoying the fruits of our labors in the garden. We love the home and have done some painting and decorating inside too.
