The years between 1973-77 brought many changes to our life...In that time Herb put in for transfers, (didn't get selected for one) and welcomed new Rangers, hoping his job might get better...I did find a couple of part time jobs...We bought a newer boat, became partners with friends in a ski/swim dock on Wallowa Lake and bought a large tent...Our summers were spent either boating and camping or camping and boating with Herb going on fires every chance he got...We spent as much time with Dad as possible and Bobbie Jo and Rusty took turns, during summer vacation, staying with him on his 10 acres in Coundil, Idaho...We thought we would be spending time with my Mom in McCall, Idaho but in July of 1973, 3 short months after we moved to Joseph, she took advantage of rising property prices, sold her home and moved to Bountiful, Utah, where she had purchased her parents home, a couple of years earlier.
Bobbie and Rusty seemed to have settled into our new life, Bobbie stayed in Girl Scouts, until the troop disbanded and Rusty made it through Cub Scouts but had no interest in Boy Scouts...He did go out for Little League Baseball but ended his "career" with that...Bobbie was coping with the tumultuous years of Jr High, headed for High School...Some weeks Sunday School was included.
We continued to make small improvements to our rented house because Hayes' now were thinking of retiring to the San Juans Islands instead of Joseph and maybe that would be an opportunity for us to buy the house...After looking at other properties in Joseph/Enterprise we began to realize what a "gem" we were living in and saw nothing that suited us better...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
