Together they made their home in southwestern North Dakota until 1960 when they moved to Denver, CO. After they retired, they returned to New England where they made their home. Over the years Blanche enjoyed many crafts. One of her specialties was making teddy bears, some of which were dressed as Denver Broncos and given to Bronco players. Blanche invented a tension guide for knitting and crocheting. She marketed it with Boyd Needle Co. of Chicago and after she received her royalty check for $1. 22, she decided to never cash it. Blanche was very active in her church groups both in New England and Denver. She was also a member of the New England Senior Citizens and the Havelock Club.
