I do have Lynne and all of you, but no one that lives close. I guess I can see what kind of life I'll have if I don't get out there more...huh? Kind of scary to think I may be totally alone someday.

Do any of you worry about this at all? Or are you quite social and go do things with friends often?

I was in that position till we moved to Tn. We volunteer a lot here, attend a very active small church, know most of our neighbors, and often go to dinner with them. We're also retired so have more time to do things with others. People here are the friendliest of any place I've lived.
