Update: Two Thousand and Eight: "Not too shabby!"

It's 2008, Beloved Reader, and I haven't posted here since last Spring...
I have been posting at http://roseteaparty1959.spaces.live.com/
It's just a little handier, coz I use hotmail.

What's new?

Surprisingly, mostly things formerly volatile have been going smoothly; on an even keel, no less.

• My husband and I have been living together in peace, not in pieces.


• We have had our 27th anniversary, at which time we renewed our vows.


• I have accomplished a lot in our finances.


• I am closing in on the last large debt (aside from our mortgage).


• We have made our home renovations possible and complete.


• I hope to begin to finish my RN course FT this August. (I've been a PT student for years.)


• My husband's widowed mom got married - for the 3rd time!


• Our oldest nephew announced HIS engagement at that special celebration...


• Our youngest son has achieved the age of majority where we live, and he even has an inkling of what he would like to do with his life.

Tonight, I am invited to walk in our Little Italy in the cool of the evening and eat Italian ice-cream (gelati - yum.).

Tonight, I am reflecting, and thinking to myself, "Not too shabby!".
