Wow...it has been a LONG time since I went to the library and posted on this blog.
Well, a lot has happened...I went to Folegandros with Melly, Albhy and Jacob this summer, also Paris and London...what an adventure! Folegandros was amazing and lived up to all the hype I have heard over the years...THEN I went to Philadelphia on the way home to meet my new GRANDBABY!!! Andrew and Melissa had their first child, Maya, at home on July 13 and I got there about 9 days later...we got the news of the birth on Folegandros...I spent a week with Melissa's family, Bill and Suzette, and visited the baby and Andrew and Melissa every day...wonderful.
(I am racing to tell stuff because I only have 10 minutes left on the computer)
THEN, this fall, I heard from Shirley Finneran, my old friend and she wanted to know if she could give my number to Pete Healy, a man I dated when I was 18-21, about.
Anyway, He called, we had a visit, and the old sparks were still there and we have been seeing each other for the last 2+ months. He said he always loved me, and I know I always loved him and we are really into each other. Only the future will tell what will happen, but I feel happier than I have for years. He makes me laugh and feel like a girl again and I just love to be with him and talk, etc...also he still turns me on...who knew? He is now 79, and a widower and I am 75...
He lives an hour away in Huntington Beach and he has a boat. God has a sense of humor because I have such terrible motion sickness/vertigo...but I will figure it out. Life is really wonderful and you never know when a surprise will come to you...this is a wonderful surprise and I am enjoying it thoroughly...just have to stop the old brain from clicking and picking and enjoy the ride.
In addition to a sense of humor, God is thoughtful. My house was on the market so my home had no little messes of Artstuff and books AND I just got diagnosed with Diabetes, so I have lost weight and was wearing tight jeans the first day he came over...we have to be grateful for these little gifts.
speaking of the diabetes, I have lost even more weight...now in a size 12 that is too big...so a diabetic diet is the secret to weight loss...I am glad I did not know in Folegandros, because I lived on ice cream and Pasta on the island, and can no longer eat either...don't care...living on love is so much nicer.
Had a lovely phone call from Alison, my stepdaughter, and was so thrilled to hear from her. She is a lovely woman and called me from Switzerland, where she lives.
This is a LOT of information to shove into this little blog...next time I am at the library I will allow more time...but this time the hour was eaten up with finding and printing letters from Andrew so I could make sense of them by having them on actual paper to look at and make notes on...I just LOVE my LIFE!!! Right now is the best time EVER!!!
YAY!!!

Hello step-mother! :)
Your happiness is contagious, and I hope that I'm as perky in my 70s! You go girl! Turns you on, indeed! I'm glad you have someone to brighten your life... all I can say from down here at the age of 40 is seize the day! Take four or five travel meds and a handful of ginger pills and go out on that boat to snuggle in the sunset. sigh. Wish I could join you for coffee and hear your tale in person.
I've been thinking of you quite a bit. Here's a hug for you on this day. And next time you fly over Paris... PLEASE come visit me, no matter how many of your loved-ones are tagging along. We'll find the room.
