I've always been jealous of those who have always lived in the same place. Must be nice to be able to say you went through school with the same people and to begin to grow old with them. Anyway like many I grew up a Navy brat.

Hey, Dave, what high school did you go to ?? I went to Jefferson :) West side is the best side :LOL
I lived in Ft. Madison, IA until I was 11 and we moved to ..... you guessed it .... Cedar Rapids, IA
After that I lived in Iowa City and in the country and in small towns in between the 2 cities until the mid '80's. Starting a family and being a single parent and returning to college as an older student. I met my current husband, we married and moved to Mesa, Az. (Good Lord, was it really 20 years ago???)
I started my career as a computer consultant (at a later age than most) so we moved to AZ.
We got homesick and moved back to the Tiffin / Oxford/Iowa City area (my husband is from Oxford, IA)
Again a career move and we moved back to Phoenix in '93
and finally to southern Iowa in '95 where we bought a farm and I traveled to keep working, but the family stayed put.
I quit my career after burn out in 2002. Unfortunately a few months later my husband was severely injured in a construction accident. I took care of him for the next couple of years and we decided that things needed to change in our lives since he would not be able to go back to work. We are still fighting SSDI for his disability.
I started my embroidery business and we sold part of the farm to finance everything so I could go to large horse shows. Being so rural, I didn't feel that there was enough business to support us locally.
I have added dye-sub in the past year and love it. I am not sure about the direction of my business right now. After 3 years in business, I am going to have to go back to computer consulting to be able to keep us afloat for awhile. I know that marketing is my downfall and am working on it.

The fire was in 1968..A little before my time. They made sure it was the first thing you saw when you got on board, to let you know what happens when people screw up...
