On Satuday night, something happened to Maribeth & I that hasn't happened in about 13 years. There were no kids with us overnight. Better yet, we didn't even fight. Andy was at his grandpa's place in Tinley Park, Brianna was at her friend, Bella's place. Ted was at Nate's place. Nate and his family lives downstairs from us.
So what did we do? It began uneventfully doing things we loved doing. Maribeth watched Law and Order; I read my beloved New Yorker magazine with the White Stripes playing in the background. In the morning, we had an even nicer time.

How would I describe the whole experience? Nice and sedate, good "change of pace". I wonder if it will happen again this summer?

Reading this makes me smile contentedly. Crossing my fingers so that there are SO MANY more moments like this! ;-D
it's hard to get all of the kids out of the place overnight, but you are right, hopefully it will happen again.
I often wonder if Maribeth & I will experience "empty nest syndrome" in 2019 when Brianna turns 18.
