Not only is 2014 a reality, for me 70 has arrived. The year leading to this grand event was full of anticipation. Always I wondered what others experienced and how did my life compare. Did it matter? What has mattered are my choices and decisions.
Highlights of this incredible year: car, family, party, business.
First, a new car. Two door sports car. I feel wonderful behind the wheel. Small enough to feel in control, peppy enough to get where I’m going. We picked up the car out of state and visited with friends along the way. Wonderful experience. If any of my family members ever read this: of course, you are my priority….but driving that car is really a long awaited treat! Thank you for understanding.
We are now living as empty nesters again. Adjust, adjust. While we miss our granddaughters, we don’t miss the responsibility. We pray for them and their parents!
Facing decisions about “what to do when we grow up” was a dilemma once again. Jim and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. Our kids planned a wonderful party. Seeing old friends, laughing and crying….it was real joy! We can never thank our daughter-in-law enough for all her hard work. Jen planned, invited, decorated, ordered, cleaned and sweat! She was wonderful.
Jim: cancer free!! Had foot surgery to correct a couple of toe problems. Back to stock trading.
Linda: business! Love working with the people, enjoy teaching. Art is my mental salvation.
We love our home and neighbors. Sharing our life with a variety of friends makes life interesting and enjoyable. Our faith in God abides. This is our journey.
AND now on to the next birthday!
