Where Life Takes Us

Charlie Ramsey and Dora met for the first time in a parking lot after a football game. They became high school sweethearts. They got married after college and moved into a new housing development called Valley View Estates. For the next twenty-something years, they raised their two children, Samantha and Skip. When they left for college, Charlie and Dora found empty nest freedom and regularly attended a neighborhood bar on the weekends. Their next-door neighbors moved out, and a younger show business couple, the Reynoldses, who had traveled most of the world, moved in. Randy was a producer of fashion shows, theater, and musicians. Camile was a tall, beautiful, shapely blonde who was retired but had been a fashion model since she was in her teens. The Ramseys and the Reynoldses started socializing at home and the local bar in the neighborhood and became close friends.
