Sylvie, 66, Cumbria UK

I would love to write to retired folk all over the world. I have a 'special' interest in Canada as you will see by my blog: http://warbaby1945.blogspot.com/

but I am interested in people everywhere who still want to do something ( even if it's just wishing they could!) with their lives.

I am married, had one daughter and have 2 grandchildren who live fairly close by.
We have a holiday home in west Lancashire where we spend most weekends throughout the year, but I still find that life is so quiet. My job was in the nursing profession for 40 years hence I feel that is why I can't keep still!

My interests are almost everything! I love animals and not too interested in the pursuit of money. My 'grasshopper' brain is never still. I feel I am a good listener.

If you find me of any interest my email is jumoff at gmail.com

avza46@dsl.pipex.com

Hello to you all,
I would like to correspond with friends from overseas as well as my home country. I've been retired quite a time now, but am involved with various volunteer activities, I swim and go walking with a couple of friends pretty often, as we imagine/hope it'll keep us that bit fitter.

I have been and continue to be a keen traveller mostly on independent trips and often to the States, a country I love to return to. I have become an enthusiastic writer of travel tales and other types of short stories, some of which have been published in the past.

I'm a member of a Writer's group here in my home town of York, which is hugely popular with tourists all year round.

The city retains most of its city walls still round which it's possible to walk. I like the cinema and TV documentaries, I enjoy days out with my car and a bar meal in a nice pub. We have some nice country here in Yorkshire and I'm only about 40 mins. drive from our east coast and the north sea.

Anyway, hope to hear from you when you've time............ Regards, Wendy in York UK .................. and thankyou

Susanne, Frisco, Texas

by Susanne
(Frisco, Texas)

Hello, I am 61 retired hospice nurse. I would like to have email pen pals. I like to walk, picnic, casinos, spend time with grandchildren. I raised one of my grands for 2 years until a few months ago, his parent took over. It is very quiet now. I will be relocating soon to a planned retirement community hopefully meeting new friends my age. I lost my first husband in 1998 to cancer and still think of him. I collect dolls, angels, and souvenir spoons. That is a little about me, hope you all have a super day!

Carole Grady, 64, Sutton, NE USA

by Carole Grady
(Sutton, NE USA)

Hi! I'm Carole, 64, from Sutton, NE, USA. My husband of 43 yrs. is in a nursing home, and I get lonely at times; I'd love to have a pen pal to visit with online!

Reading is my major past-time, in fact, I work part-time in a library. Mysteries are my favorites. Another thing I enjoy is playing tuba/baritone horn in 3 community-type bands in the area.

I am a cat rescuer, not as bad as those in the TV animal hoarder shows however. I used to work for a vet, and people got in the habit of giving me their unwanted cats. All of mine are neutered and have their rabies shots, and are well-fed,which is quite a feat on my income. :)

I may as well state upfront that I'm a liberal, which in conservative Nebraska is considered pretty shocking. Right now, I'm inclined not to trust anyone in politics, no matter what party they're from.

Hoping to hear from someone--I love to hear about other people's lives and get to know them!

Hello Senior Friends,

I am a widowed, retired, former public school teacher who is making the most of retirement--quilting, reading, traveling with family, just being plain lazy at times.

Carol and Maria

Carol and Maria designed this from Sheldon's The Big Bang tv show Christmas 2011  rightsizing the tree

Hello I'm Carol and almost retired. The closer I get to the date the more anxious and the more excited I get.

Did you have these feelings? How do you handle them?

I live near Longwood Gardens Kennett Sq Pa and my dream is to have a LG designer design my small backyard. One can dream, right!

I enjoy day trips especially if near water, the ocean, a river or even a pool. This morning it was an hour water exercise in the health club's outside pool. Ahh, the air was warm, and so was the water. Hope my hips and legs enjoyed the exercise :)

Fabric Art is a hobby of mine. As a member of the Philadelphia EGA, Embroiderer's Guild of America, I learn many fabric art skills. Didn't say I was an expert, just enjoy learning.

My 3 grown children live nearby and I enjoy my 5 grandchildren very much. Of course they all have their own lives but they do include me in events. I have been widowed for 5 years and want to restart my own exciting life in retirement.

Hope this gives you some ideas about me. Hope to hear from male and female pen pals. carol.0512 =at= yahoo.com

have a sunny day, carol

Carrie Purnell, age 72, Ireland.

by Carrie Purnell
(Ireland)

Hello,

I'm really unhappy about having to divulge my age - not because I'm unhappy about it myself but because I know from experience that age conjures up an image that is not always flattering. I think if my friends were asked to describe me they would say that I am very active both mentally & physically. I am a bit of a news addict with an passing interest in global politics & events.

My family are all mature adults now and my 9 grandchildren are rapidly approaching self sufficiency.

I would love to hear from people who are in and around my age group.

In anticipation,

Carrie.

Linda, 63, Florida

by Linda
(Port Charlotte, FL, USA)

Hello,
I retired in March along with my husband and moved to Florida. I am enjoying the freedom that retirement brings. However would love to hear from some penpals.

I love the outdoors here in Florida and enjoy walking, biking, swimming and boating. I love to read and visit the library quite often. Nora Roberts is my favorite author but love reading any kind of book, whether romance, mystery or sci-fi.

Next year, we plan to start a garden and plant some fruit trees. That should keep me quite busy!

The only thing I have found that I don't like in Florida are the red ants. We did not have them in Pennsylvania.

I have three daughters and three grandchildren. I would love to share stories with other grandparents out there.

Talk to you soon.

I'm Aaron, aged 65, British by birth, living in Israel since 1975. Recently retired, before which i worked as an accountant.

I am married for 40 years, have 3 children and 9 grandchildren.

I'm crazy about classical music, read a lot, and enjoy pen-friending both by e-mail and snail mail which i began at the age of 10. I'm willing to write about anything as long as understand it so if your field is nuclear physics, you may not get much of a response from me!!

I enjoy writing to both men and women, preferably those around my own age, say 10 years on either side.Very respectful and tolerant. I look forward to hearing from anyone who's interested.

I am a caucasian woman, who is very healthy and loves food. I used to have dish water blonde hair but now it's just grey.

I love animals, and I have quite a few exotic types and normal types. Right now I have a ferret named popcorn who is spoiled rotten and likes to eat everything. :) I used to have two racoons, who lived in the house, in a room of their own. I had a skunk as well, and I used to enjoy playing with my neighbors pet monkeys.

I have a good sense of humor and a lot to laugh about, i.e. my whole life, and my three children who are a joke in themselves.

I am living in a rehabilitational facility, where I get lots of help with maintaining my health. I have many friends here but I enjoying reading and writing, and receiving letters from friends.

I hope to here from you soon,
Cyndi.

Hello, i would love to have a snail mail/e mail friend. I live in the mountains and have pets which i love very much, and are a lot of company for me.

I really enjoy crocheting, gardening, keeping the house clean. Enjoying the nocturnal animals that come around, mostly raccoons, and they are so cute. I border the National forest, so they come around every evening. I like going to the lakes and rivers, sit and cool of my feet in that refreshing mountain water, being at peace with God and mother nature.

Would enjoy some nice lady(s) who have the same ideas, by the way i like to cook and bake.

Michelet, 44, NE Houston TX

by Michelet Carsrud
(Magnolia, TX USA)

Michelet & ChickOstick (my husbands grandbaby)

Michelet & ChickOstick (my husbands grandbaby)

Michelet & ChickOstick (my husbands grandbaby) Michelet & Dumpling (my oldest son's adoptive daughter) My sons & I in 1989 Me & My Grannie in '04(she just passed)

Hello.

I am looking for a lady at least a decade older than me to help fulfill the void that my grandmothers left. I lost my maternal Grams on Christmas Day '08 & my paternal Grannie just this August 17th. I am the 1st born grandchild on both sides of the family & my whole life I have been blessed with their worldly advice & wisdom...and wit :)

I am from NE Ohio but have been in the Houston area since May- preferring to be east of Dallas and KNOWING my husband will want to retire in the Hill Country (north of Austin)... so I have somewhat of an anxiety/phobia of setting down 'roots' and becoming attached to someone local only to have to move away from them.

My husband is in the oil & gas industry & is gone on rotation a lot more than he is local so I am by myself as we do not have anyone local that I know but his one daughter who is almost 30.

I would love to hear stories of your life & era... to get your perspective of life and to have your experience & suggestions as I enter the VERY empty feeling of 'empty nest syndrome' and what to do. I even looked online for 'adult daycare' to have someone come & spend a few days a week with me to teach me canning skills and embroidery' and such things but they all tell me I am not the 'right material' haaa

Anyhow- I have 3 children (26, 23 & 19- the youngest two in Ohio), I am a Christian but respect others religions, or lack thereof... I have a fun sense of humor- my Grams was PRETTY witty (think MAXINE haaa).

My favorite movie actress is Hedy Lamarr & one of my favorite movie's, besides her in Sampson & Delilah, is another oldie, 'Rebekkah'... I am a patriotic American & although I believe in equality I am traditional that ladies need to take care of their own children, not put them in daycare- I was a single mother for many years & wish I could have taught my babies what *I* wanted them to learn & to know- not a stranger!

I have 3 Yorkie's, all under 8 pounds & although they have more proper names, I call them Mister French, Misses Beasely & MyLady May (Clementine)...as her sire's name was Winston and Clementine was Churchills' wife's name *big smile* I do not really have any hobbies but I am VERY interested in learning to do embroidery- ribbon embroidery, quilting, picture restoration & the sort...

I realize I am probably very young to be on this site but I do not know where else to look for kinship & a mentor and I do not mean to be disrespectful.

I look forward to any and all who want to write- I am fine with snail mail as well as e-mail and I have a valid online reputation that can be more than validated in various ways. (online communities such as Facebook, Yahoo, Linked-in, etc). You can find me anywhere as 'MyMichelet' :) Happy looking!

If you have gathered I am lonely, you are right. I do rather well at 'grinning & bearing it' but the last couple years have taken its toll & I simply have grown attached to staying in the house & unless I am traveling directly somewhere for some specific person, I don't even go out to the grocery!! I am not one to just go out & 'involve' myself and I am not having a very promising desire to figure out what to do with myself now that the season of being a mother-at-home has passed & it looking like I raised a 'dud' or two HaHa

So... I hope everyone finds what they are looking for and that this is not too much of an introduction and that its appropriate :))

Miriam, 72, Miami, Florida

Hi,

If you are interested in contacting me, my email address is: 1novelidea at att.net

I am retired, divorced and live alone except for my sweet cat Emily. I am 72 years old and live in Florida. I am currently trying my hand at writing a book. I know, every wants to write a book!

Well, my desire for doing so started many years ago. Now that I am retired, I am able to pursue my dream. I have taken 2 correspondence writing courses. I think education is important to any endeavor you choose to be involved in. I write mystery/suspense stories.

I love to read, my favorite authors are: James Patterson, Sandra Brown for mysteries. But I like all genres for reading. I have a collection of books from Shakespeare to the story of Frankenstein.

I love old black and white movies, but my favorite movie is Picnic with William Holden and Kim Novak. I love the old 50's-60's rock and roll doo-wop music. But in today's world, Barbra Streisand is my favorite singer.

I have many interests, I guess too many to list here.

Anyway, I am looking for someone to snail mail or if you prefer email, that’s okay too. You don't have to be a writer. Just someone who wants to share life's up and downs, share a laugh or two, or just talk about things in general. Gosh, I have written a lot, but it will give you some insight as to who I am. Male or female are welcome. Thanks for reading my ad.

Elaine, 65, Pennsylvania

by Elaine
(Harrisburg, PA)

I love corresponding with people. Think pen pals are great as I have a Canadian pen pal since I was 13 and we are now best friends.

I am still working full time but counting the months until I'll be ready to retire. At that time my husband and I hope to be able to spend the winters somewhere warm.

My interests are very varied. Gardening, reading when I have time, poking around thrift shops looking for bargains. We have a sailboat that my husband is redoing inside and out. We love Florida's west coast, especially the Naples area. We have a large blended family, 8 grown children and grandchild #12 was born two weeks ago. Finding time to spend with all of them is a challenge.

Contact me at emskd46 at aol.com

Hope to hear from you and get some new friendships started.

Rose; 66, Toronto, Canada

by Rose
(Toronto, Ontario, Canada)

I would like to email and make friends with people who share my ideas and interests. I am a widow, no children, worked in different places. Guess I like moving around.

I am introspective and tend to be unsuperficial so find making friends difficult. I enjoy reading self improvement books (spiritual and healthwise), surf the net, paint portraits, think a lot, swim, exercise, watch movies, cook, home decoration and have meaningful conversations. Most of my hobbies are solitary and can be isolating and tedious at times.

Hope to hear from some kindred souls.

Carol 73

My name is Carol, I live in the beautiful state of Florida not to far from the beach where I like to power walk everyday.Good for the soul and of course the body. That aging body, who likes that.I also weight train three days a week if time is good to me.

I have two balinese cats age 13 and a 3 year old Yorkie. My Yorkie thinks he is a pussy cat, does not know from dogs.Very funny to watch them play. I have had all of them since they were 2 months old.

Well that is a little about myself. If you'd like to become pen pals my e-mail address is thewizardofoz at ymail.com
