Pen palsHi Minkele, I am an older, retired widow in the USA, in West Michigan. specifically. I am interested in having pen pals on the internet or even replying on here and from different parts of the world. I am interested in what life is like for you, what you do, if you are employed. I also read a lot... just about anything. Fantasy, classics, murder mysteries, biographies and esp. have an interest in the history of England. I also enjoy music, the range can depend on the day, from old country, jazz, rock and roll, other genres also. I was raised primarily on classical music and what training I had as a child in piano was classical training. I also went through a period of training for gospel music, however, that did not last long as my teacher moved. I have always enjoyed traveling, however, it is pretty much vicariously through others rather than my actual traveling. Altho' Michigan is a pretty and diverse state here, my daughter, who lives with me, and I do try to wander about when we have the time. She is a teacher of enrichment classes at one of the charter schools here. Right now, she is teaching gardening, conventional as well as hydroponic, and art. I am an animal lover. I have always had dogs my entire life. At this point, I do senior rescues of dogs primarily...and because of my age, stick with the smaller breeds, altho' my first love is the larger breeds. My body just doesn't want to cooperate with the care of the larger dogs. We also have a cat that I would classify as a senior, he is getting up there in years also. I have 2 children, a son and a daughter, 5 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren with 2 more foster girls hopefully coming into the family soon as daughters. I worked many years with the public and the court system here in Family Court. I also did various clerical jobs, secretarial positions and even worked in a sheet metal shop. (think forming the metal parts of desks, file cabinets and such.) My last employment was for a company that makes the vanes for jet airplane engines. Very interesting and challenging also. Needless to say, I liked the variety over my working years rather than just one job forever.... I would have gone crazy.... Well, hope to hear from you... and that we can connect on a regular basis.

Pen palsHi Everyone....New to this site, hoping to find a penpal or two. I am a 75 year old widow from W. Michigan, USA. I love to write about just ordinary life and things and also to hear what is going on in other people's lives also. Pretty openminded here about most things, people and lifestyles. I am an animal lover, presently 2 senior dachshunds and a senior cat. As a senior myself, I can relate to them.... I have always taken in rescue animals, usually dogs, usually the older ones from shelters no one has an interest in. I prefer the large breeds, but my age and ability to lift on the older kids has gone, so I am now concentrating on the smaller breeds. I have 2 adult children, 5 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren and 2 foster girls, which hopefully will be coming into the family formally soon. We live near enough to Lake Michigan we can take a trip down to enjoy this beautiful force of nature. In fact, we just went down last night to watch the sunset. It is a popular venue for both my daughter, who lives with me, and myself. Often we can hit the sand, but with the winds of November coming through, best to stay in the car.... or be dressed warmly for a walk. Hoping to find people from all over to learn about their lives and where they live.... culture they were raised with.... pets, lifestyles, anything you want to talk about... if fine with me. Hope to hear from you soon, Spense.
