My wife and I are planning a party to celebrate 40 years of coupledom and twenty years in our current house. Unlike you I think my next beginning will be in a box though there are plenty of years between now and that (I hope). I'm not so much attached as very comfortable but not complacent. <br />New beginnings at a certain age must be exhilarating (or daunting to some). All the best.Steve Capelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14838386764407644146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-68515558143180685002014-06-08T12:41:13.264-05:002014-06-08T12:41:13.264-05:00Congrats on the sale.

And how great that the buyer is letting you take stuff that you want.

We were also married in 1976. We just moved out of our home of 33 years; the place where are daughter grew up.
