The Times They Are A Changin'

It's a new beginning. And with all new beginnings, it is a little scary. To begin again means that something has ended. For me it is the end of a 23 year marriage. Yep, I'm one of the punch lines to an old joke, "what do you do with the 45 year old wife?, why you replace her with the 30 year old." So now I am off on an new adventure, the ME project. After being a stay at home wife and mother, that phase is ending. My son will head off to Northwestern University in September, the home I have resided in for 16 years will be sold, the last name that I have had for more than half my life will be gone. In some ways it is a rebirth, I like to think it is a "Do Over." Oh, I'm sure I wouldn't have chosen this path if given the option, but it is here now and so I might as well deal with it the best way I know how. With Good Books, Good Salvage Finds, Good Friends, Good Decorating Skills, and Good Old Determination.

So that is just what I plan to do, and Good News, you get to help.

Let's get this Party started.
