Really things have been going just great the last month or so!
Summer has come and is slowly going away. My daughter has attended summer camp for the last time, and my son is still doing just fine on his new meds. I have a normal life, and have had a great time getting to know the real boy that had been hidden for so long by the terrible illness of Bipolar Disorder. Gone is the anger, the oppositional behavior, the awful and violent destruction of property. He and his mother are getting along for the first time in YEARS! She actually enjoys having him over her house and they take the dog for a walk, go swimming and have dinners together!
"J" and I are getting along wonderfully! Ever so much in love and enjoying our time together! We think alike and enjoy so much of the same kids of activities and food. We've attended concerts together, and even seena few plays. Last weekend we went to see a live performance of HAIR! I'd seen it maybe 30 years ago in Chicago (yes, in my hippy days) and loved it. Seeing it again now was a real trip (Goovy man)! We had seats right next to the stage, no one in between us and the actors! It was so much fun listening to the music again and hearing the old anti war slogens, really a trip down memory lane! Yes, we did have perfect seats for the nude scene (all of 30 sec.) for all you dirty minded people!
We still have no plans on when we are getting married, but are just enjoying our time together. We are talking about the things which matter to us and how we see our lives together. You know, who is going to do what job, if and how we share our money, what kind of house we want to buy, and where, all the basic stuff!
I'm having such fun with the photography and have packed my Flickr site with more photos. I'm learning all about Photoshop ver. 7 not the new CS but hey, its more than I've ever had as far as photo manipulation software.
I'm still riding my bike to work nearly everyday now that gas is $2.80 /gal. And I'm enjoying the ride, it takes me 45 min. to get to work, I get a shower and get dressed and I'm ready for my day! It is great!! I'll be getting my bike equiped with lights both front and back so I can ride better and safer in the early morning half light, now that the sun is coming up later and later every day as we approach fall!

I am glad to hear things are going so well for you. We need to find a time to meet up for photos while the weather is still nice.

Glad to hear about photography, I need a new digital before I get back into it. I want to take my film camera and a digital around with me.

I'm so glad to hear that your son is doing so well....and that you are happy and in love..... and that your still riding your bike...I probably should haul my bike out of the basement and pump up the tires. But it's almost winter again....so, maybe next year.....I too love photography.....I am church historian, and have made dvd's with gospel music and pictures of our trips, and special events....you mentioned photoshop ver7...is that a good one.....I'm always looking for new programs.....of course for the dvd's I use Nero6. Thanks for sharing......

I'm uber-happy that you're uber-happy. You deserve boatloads of joy after all the turmoil you've endured.
Are you going to get snowtires on your bike for the winter?
