My yellow brick road didn't start in Kansas....it started in Utah...Orem, Utah and over the next 40 years it wound its way through Idaho, California ( 3 times), Texas (twice), Florida, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Whew!!
My Mormon boy graduated from BYU with a degree in business/marketing and landed a job with Procter and Gamble selling Crest toothpaste and Ivory soap. We were sent to Boise, Idaho with our 2-year old daughter in tow. While we were in Boise we added baby #2, a son. When we were expecting baby #3, we were moved to Union City California in the San Francisco bay area. Baby #3 was born there...a little girl. When she was 9 months old, P&G moved us, and our 3 children under six, to Tampa, Florida.
Two years later and while expecting baby #4, my husband jumped ship.
He left P&G and took a job with a Johnson&Johnson company, selling surgical suture. They moved us to Lubbock, Texas (where #4 was born, another daughter) and then to Southern California, back to Texas (Dallas) and back to Southern California, where
#5, a son, was born.
My yellow brick road continued on to Pennsylvania and North Carolina...no more babies, but more details to follow...
