About Me

I am a not yet 55 year old woman married for 25+ years, 4 kids, 1 dog and 1 cat. The kids are beginning to leave home. One is launched, one is in college and 2 are still at home. As a couple we are entering the final stage of our parenting journey: the teenage years and beyond. We are starting to dream and think and plan for those years when the house is quiet and it is just us once again. Please join me as I explore what it means to grow older with adventure and grace.

Marriage in the Real World: 25 Years Ago This Year

Ronald Reagan was president. Margaret Thatcher was the British Prime Minister. (Thing were as they should be in my opinion)

Terms of Endearment won the Oscar for Best Picture (perhaps not all things)

Sally Ride was the first woman in space (finally)

M.A.S.H. aired its final episode

The Washington Red Skins won the Super Bowl

It was the Orioles over the Phillies in the World Series

Milk was $2.24 per gallon and gas was $1.24 (sigh)

Both Cabbage Patch Kids and Camcorders hit the American market.

My husband and I were married on July 23, 1983.

I love it when we look back at what was going on before; prices and how things have changed. Although it does bring back some serious sighs for nostalgia. Happy Anni!!
