Jim and I are spending most of our time now living in Plantation FL. It’s just a few miles southwest of Ft Lauderdale. We love living here, and enjoy lots of family and friends visiting. My youngest son lives here along with two grandsons, and that keeps us busy too. We still have our little house in Yakima we bought after selling the farm, and visit there frequently too. Life is good!

In 2003 Jim and I bought some property on west Zier Rd and began our adventure in planting 2500 blueberry bushes and owning/operating West Valley U-Pick. Primarily a blueberry u-pick farm, with many other fruits and veggies. We operated the farm while working at Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences in Terrace Heights for 10 years. Last May (2017) Jim and I sold the farm and both retired, and are now enjoying the fruits of our labor, traveling and spending time with our kids and grandkids.
