Hi there, we are Gordon & Dee and live in Tualatin, OR.  We were both born in Ohio, moved to California at young ages, where we were raised in loving families.  We met while attending high school in Anaheim, CA at the tender ages of 15 & 16.  We fell in love and married immediately after Dee graduated from high school in 1970.

Our 2 children, Lisa & Steven were born while we still lived in Anaheim, CA.  Just about the time Lisa was ready to start school, we decided we wanted to move from the congested So. CA metropolis to raise our kids in a more relaxed atmosphere.  So, in 1979 we followed Dee's parents (who moved to OR in 1970) and settled in a house in Tualatin, OR. 

God has been good to us.  Other than the typical struggle to support our family, we have had no major life set-backs.  Our children have made us proud, we have three beautiful grandsons, our extended family is loving and supportive and we have great friends.  What more can a person ask for.  Gordon has had his own automotive detailing and restoration business for 25+ years (see www.carcafe.net) and I love my career in commercial real estate. 

The next step in our life is to follow our dream of traveling across this great country.  You can follow our journeys on this web site by just clicking on "dreams" or "travel blog".  We haven't started the full-time life style yet.  We have the 5th wheel RV & tow truck, we just need to sell our house.  If you know anyone interested in a huge, old farm house on 1/2 acre in Tualatin, OR, send them our way so we can begin our dream.
