After being off line for a few days I just read through this and am amazed at how many of us are looking for connections. I joined late last month - a friend sent me the web address and said it sounded interesting but she hadn't checked it out. She lives in VA. I live in SC. We went to college together in Boulder, CO. I lived in CO for 35 years. After a very painful but necessary divorce I heard from an old high school friend - we went to high school overseas over 30 years ago - we exchanged email, then he visited...long story short, we married. He moved from Utah to CO but we both needed a new start so ended up here with a home on the lake and some sort of culture shock after 34 years in Denver. I know just how Doddle50 feels - it takes courage, Doddle50, but it's worth the plunge. I hope to hear from many of you - I have a soap opera to share (about my life lately). I have 2 children, both married. My daughter is 33, has a beautiful little boy who just turned 4 - they live in Denver. My son is 28, Lives in Ohio, has 3 children - a darling little girl who just turned 2 and the most adorable identical twin boys who are 10 months old. Yes, they are VERY busy! And I love being a grandma! I just wish we all lived closer.
