Hi,  My name is Jeanette, I'll be 61 next month and widowed for 18 months. I am hoping to meet people and make new friends. I stay at home so thought I would try the internet. I have two children, five grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren.  Promise not to be a bother.


thank you


Jeanette

Hi and a big welcome Jeanette,


It is a pleasure to have you join us. I am Becky and love this board as I know you will love it too. We have a great at bunch of ladies here and so much going on for each of us. This is a good place to come and tell us what you are up to and even vent if you feel the need. I am 67 years old, happily married for a "whole" lot of years and I have 2 daughters and they have blessed my DH and I with 3 very wonderful grandsons. One is 20, one 16 and one the baby is 8. Wow, where has that time gone. Never think you will be a bother, because you will never be that. Come and visit us often.

Hi Jeanette, I am Carol and I live near Auburn, California, in the Gold Country area. I am retired and my DH and i moved up here from Southern California 3 years ago to be closer to one of DDs and her family. We have two other grown children, our DS lives in Omaha and our other DD lives in Arlington, VA, with our two other grandchildren. I think you will enjoy this board--great group of women. They are always here to listen, share happy times and rough times too. I look forward to getting to know you.

Welcome from mid-Illinois. If you fill out the rest of your profile, we'll get to know a lot more about you and you'll find some common interests. One of the best parts of belonging to this group is seeing how the gals with health problems just keep moving ahead. Very encouraging to me, as my body is beginning to feel the years - LOL.

My profile gives most of the important info about me. Current projects are helping DGrD with wedding plans for late Sept., plus redecorating parts of the house that have gone unloved for the last few years. The steamy heat has hit us, so I'll be indoors more than I want to. But, being retired, I can now take early morning walks and bike rides and not worry about being late for work.

I've met one of the gals here in person and now feel like I have friends in other parts of the country to visit should I travel their way.

Welcome Jeanette -
I'm Rosemary - live in NJ - 68 years old - just had our 46th anniversary last week-end. I love this board - all wonderful women - and I'm glad you are going to join us. We have one DD - married with 2 sons - living in England. SIL is English - so it is a permanent home for them. We have been fortunate enough to visit back and forth a lot - so I love the arrangement. DD was just here for a week - helping me deal with a glitch in my health - but I'm back on track and feeling good again. DH is still working - a prof at Rutger's University - could retire any time- but he loves it and I'm not exactly wanting him around 24/7. I do a lot of knitting - reading - love swimming and entertaining. We moved 3 years ago into an adult community - and love the new home and friends. Hope to get to know you better- Rosemary
