Good Afternoon. My name is Mari and I live in Arkansas in USA. I am a widow with one grown son living 11 hours away. Friends and family have passed away, one by one, in recent years. It's hard to make new friends as you get older, especially during covid. I'm a free-thinker, deep-thinker, and out-of- the-box thinker ... the type that usually takes the road less traveled. My one remaining friend wears a t-shirt that says "I don't trust normal people", and she counts me as a valued friend, so there you have it! It does take me awhile to open up to new people. Thanks for letting me join your group.

I am looking for someone to correspond with on line. You sound very interesting, I wonder if you would like to fill the bill?
I am also a widow but for the last 9 years my eldest daughter has lived with me. The rest of my family,another daughter and her children and grandchildren live in U.K. and I live in Spain, have done for most of the last 30 years. Won’t say more for now until I know if you want me to.

Hi, I'm Jean. I'm new to Silversurfers. I live in Tennessee in the USA. I'm retired, never married, and live alone with my 2 dogs. I would love to make new friends/get a pen pal. I'm lonely - just lost my best friend of 50 years - so would love to make new friends to talk with.
