Wow, it's good to hear positive news!! I'll make more of an effort to post more often. We're still living separately and I'm finding ways to live in peace with everything. Some days are better than others. He's due to come in town this week. He seems to be trying to reach out; but I'm reserving judgment. Frankly, I've learned to enjoy the peace of having the house to myself. We don't have grandchildren and both of our kids live about 40 minutes away. With their jobs and busy lives, we don't see each other as much as I'd like.

I've been spending time getting the house ready for the fall and winter. All windows washed except in the master bedroom. I repainted and made new cushions for the dining room chairs, changed the curtains in the living and dining rooms, and did some yard work. Staying busy keeps me out of trouble.
