Dad told her he couldn't find the papers and that she needed to come home to
look. It was only after several years of marriage that she and Marvin discovered
that he just wanted her to come home to meet her future husband. While she was
home she actually sold Marvin a saddle and his Dad a horse over the phone. She

so they lived in Kansas, Wyoming and Montana. They later moved to Farmington,

of art classes and they moved to Elk City in 2007 to make their home.
