We are in Washington state up very near the Canadian border. We were born and raised in Ohio. Both @silvertop and I longed to move west and ended up for a few years in Colorado. I worked for Walmart at the time, and one of the advantages was that you could transfer from one store to another without losing your job. We wanted to go further west yet, so I got an atlas and opened it up to the state of Washington, closed my eyes and dropped my finger on the page. It landed on Bellingham, and in the course of taking a trip to see the lay of the land, ended up where we are now. I transferred to the Bellingham Walmart, and stayed with the company until I reached 20 years. Then I quit, and ended up at the clinic where I am employed now. I can't go any further west than we are as the land runs out and I don't do boats, lol! Take care sis and thanks for commenting!
