Places we have lived
As newly weds and after much work at fixing up our very first little home in the country Joey and I decided it best to move into town because of the bad winters and the snow making it difficult to drive back and forth into town everyday....
So after maybe six months or more at our little home we moved to another house in Vincennes which we thought would be our home for along time to come but then Joey decided after being there for maybe six months it would be better if he joined the Navy and quit working at a gas station. He wanted to pick what to join and wanted the navy and if waited they could draft him and he wanted to be sure he got into the navy. The military would pay for his education and he would get a license in electronics and so thats what he did and it worked out to be a very good living for us for many yrs. and so here are some of the places we lived up to now:
Bruceville, Ind. Our first home as young married couple /maybe six months or less here because it was too hard to drive into town in winter with snow and all.
Vincennes on upper 11th st. Here until dad decided to join the military and stop working at the filling station ....was a good decision cause he got his education in electronics there in the navy
Millington , Tenn./ Joined Joey to live outside of base in Navy Housing
Brunswick, Georgia for---? short time there
Eau Gallie, Fl. Dad worked at Cape Kennedy, got layed off and this guy from church said come to Sanford and I will get you on at Repco
Sanford Fl. ...6yrs. we lived in Sanford while dad started his job at Repco then moved to Orlando
Orlando, Fl. on Elon Dr. ....near 30 yrs. we lived there and he continued working at Repco as a customer service advicer. they sold radio's all over the country and then dad started traveling everywhere. The kids grew up on Elon and then after gone dad and I moved away from Pine Hills because it was beginning to be a bad area.
Eustis, Fl. at 211 Douglas Dr. ....Here 13 yrs. and counting/
Retired and will be here for rest of our life!😊

Flanders Field
I love this poem and feel truly blessed
that we have those that have given
their very lives so we would
have the freedom that we so enjoy today!
I remember the DVD that Joey would play that was titled
"What have we learned Charlie Brown."
....the poem is in honor of our fallen heroes!
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place, and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead; short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high!
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields roll by roll.
