So glad that you are posting again. I guess you have your computer up and running!
I'm really impressed with what you shared about your husband. His passion for flying is tempered with safety. He was responsible and didn't take unnecessary risks. Also, he was brave to go over his horrible boss and was granted a transfer! He's resourceful and diplomatic.
What a difficult choice you had to make between your mother and father. I remember when you were in college, you mother left and wanted to go to college, too. I wonder if she ever pursued her dreams. It was probably wise to not have to choose between one parent or the other.

Thank you so much for the review and comments. Mother was never able to realize all her dreams, however as time went on, she became more content and Daddy mellowed out as well. They were still together when when Mom died at 80. They had been married 62 years.

I hope you remember to tell us what happened between your mom and dad. There are several stages in life where troubles shows up in every marriage. We had a little trouble adjusting to the empty nest syndrome. Nothing to talk about when the kids were all gone. LOL Best wishes, Beth. Nancy:)

Thank you for the review and comments. Mom never tried to leave Dad again. She had some unfulfilled dreams but both she and Dad seemed to become more content later. They were married 62 years when Mom died. I don't know if my story will go on that long so I'm telling those who ask about them.

Comment from Mistydawn
You're poor mom thinking she was wanted by the FBI. I feel sorry for her, but yet it's kind of funny. Something I'd pull as a kid. I'm glad your husband got a better job, and that you guys are adjusting to the new location. Your story is well-written, interesting start to finish. I look forward to reading more.

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
Your well-written renderings about your life continue to be very interesting. The blip with your mother is heartfelt. So many seniors find the disappointment in their lives a little too late and have to make some heartbreaking decisions. The fact that your husband was a valued employee garnered him the successful transfer to another department. This would add to a sense of settling in and the decision to buy a house.
I am enjoying your book Beth.

Comment from Marjon van Bruggen
Uneasy times again for your family, Beth! Your mom's troubles with your dad also would worry me. At their age, and after so many years together, I hope they worked it out again. Of course, it is difficult and upsetting to lose your job at 62, but, well, in a few more years he would meet the same situation anyhow.
Then the letter of your husband. It worked out well, but it could have been very different!
The stolen bikes in the apartment...bad news, also for the kids.
Well-written chapter again, Beth!

Thanks, Beth. Welcome to the review. I forgot to mention a little typo:

Bless you!

We seem to be still on the same page with happenings. Your Dad was a victim of lost identity that only Christ can restore.
The stolen bike is on my wave link as well. My son Jody lost his the same way about the same time.
Wow. I sure don't blame You fopr not flying a strange instrumented plane.
The Mooney was nice to fly.
Better than the Piper
