New also, trying to understand how it works. Chat some time?
I’m sorry to hear about your wife passing. It can be a very difficult situation to navigate. I am 69 and have been divorced for 4 years after a marriage of 46 years.
I’m lucky my 2 daughters live in town. Six grandchildren keep me running, especially the 3 year old.
Knee surgery for me on September 19, my daughter is staying with me to help.
I try to stay busy, water aerobics and a little flower gardening, but sometimes it isn’t enough.
Life is too short to let yourself be unhappy.
I’m around most days, especially while convalescing. I’d be glad to chat with you.
Thank you for writing. Good luck with your knee surgery. Are you getting a knee replacement? My brothers have both had knee replacement surgery, and two sisters in law as well. They recovered well, and are glad they did it. My hip replacement went well also. I had it done at the VA Hospital in Omaha (I’m a retired US Army soldier).
Getting old is not for the faint of heart. I spent yesterday cleaning out the she-shed. Painting the concrete floor of the she-shed was the last project Alisa planned. She bought the paint in summer 2022, but didn’t feel well enough to do it. This should have clued me in that something was wrong, but it didn’t. She never started a project without finishing it. On January 25, 2023 she was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. She died on March 4, 2023…five days before her 62nd birthday. We were married 25 years. I promised her I would care for our kitties Star and Luna, so my life these days revolves around them.
I hope your surgery goes well. The 19th—next Thursday— I’ll be thinking about you.

Anyway hello and Welcome
It's gone very cold today. Doesn@t encourage a lot of outdoor activity. A cosy cafe, coffee and a cake seems a good option.

I'm new to this group, the same as you I'm looking to make new friends as I'm recently divorced and finding it lonely.
I am 70 years old. I live alone with my husband. I am in Napa, CA I would like to chat with you.
Cheers
Is it because as we get older we just wish we were younger, I would love to do the things we did when we were young but we know our bodies can`t hack it anymore, even if our minds think we can. there is one thing i do know is that we are not following our parents generation in the pipe and slipper brigade though.
