The tough time is when I am away at work for a lengthy stretch--sometimes she makes the day--sometimes not--a lot depends on the morning walk--at first she would consistently do all of her business in a fairly short time--now she seems to have gotten off schedule and will pee, but not poop in the morning. I know my work schedule will make all this take longer, but overall she is doing pretty well. Any tips for improvement will be greatly appreciated though!

Is she confined when you are not home? If not she needs to be. She doesn't yet understand that she should not potty when she needs to. Crate training her and leaving her in a crate when you are not home will help her learn this. (Which is what you'd do with a puppy too, they don't get unsupervised freedom right away.)
Do a search on "housebreaking+adult dog" in google for several sites with ideas to use with older dogs.
