It’s hard getting out there again
I am a young 64 year old mother and grandmother, and a very young great grandmother, lol
I would love to have contact with genuine pen pals, not dates et., etc. I live in NW London suburb and have a number of interests, including books, classical music, french, current events and History of Everyday Things. I am female and of advanced years.
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. Spense.
I am keen on letter-writing - proper pen, paper, stamps - that sort of thing. I'm quite happily married but I don't see a lot of point in writing to my wife as we are retired and spend all day in each other's company.
I used to write a lot of letter 30 or more years ago, when email and instant electronic messages weren't A Thing. Now I've come to realise that a hand-written letter on good paper written with a quality fountain pen is a work of art and something to treasure. It's also a god way to use up some lockdown time!
I've started a series of correspondences with various people - daughter in Melbourne, sister of a friend (Toronto) - anyone who is interested and will reply.

Thanks for getting in touch.Its lovely to hear from you.
I'm in bed at the moment. It's 10.20pm here in London in the UK.
I had a busy day so felt a bit tired so thought I'd have an early night. Too much excitement for an old girl.
If you don't mind can I get back to you tomorrow. Be nice to chat.
Hope you are well
All the best
