Our last stop in Canada was in Chilliwack, BC. When we stepped in the motel room and turned on the light we saw our first popcorn ceiling. There were little flecks of reflective stuff that looked kinda neat because of the light. It didn't take long for the novelty to wear off.
From there we headed South and back to the States. We found a motel North of Seattle with a kitchenette and started looking for work. I had hoped to get a job with Boeing, but that never happened. Instead I got a job working on aircraft at a repair station at Payne Field. The Old Lady also found work quickly. One of the reasons we left home was because jobs were hard to get at home. Was nice to find out you didn't need to be standing there when someone died in order to get a job, that's if there wasn't a relative waiting for the job.
We found a place to stay that was old military housing. It was a duplex that The Old Lady called Mildew Manor.
Sometime after we were settled the In-laws brought the kids there. Our honeymoon was over.
It was a strange area, we had a Lynnwood address, an Everett phone number and the kids went to the Mukilteo school district.
