It was approximately 28 years and 2 months ago that we packed up our belongings and closed the Tacoma chapter of our lives. Our time in the Pacific Northwest had been an important time and now we were pressing on to see what God had in store for us. If we had written the next chapter it probably would have been different than what it actually turned out to be but God, who works all things for our good put us on a different route than we planned.
All these years had passed and we had never returned to visit the place where we had lived for 6 years but this fall we had the privilege of going back. Some things were still surprisingly the same.
We were looking forward to driving by our home in Tacoma and to our delight it really hadn't changed much at all
This is what it looked like in 1981. The large blossoming cherry trees are gone along with some other landscape changes, new windows and front sidewalk but the color scheme is still the same and is still recognizable as our house. It sure was fun to see.
If we would wait another 28 years to visit again, let's see, how old will we be? Umm, maybe we shouldn't wait so long next time.
