Thank You! I did go and I did laugh and eat with 5 other women, all very recently met...glad I got out, am invited to a weekly breakfast with a few if I like, we are all older and ...so far so good. Greatest fear is that they live near me, it is a small community and if "things" don't go well, it would be hard for me to deal with...and I do need solitude. They are all native to the area, I am not. So what---Thanks again. a few tricky moments to keep my mouth shut...though everyone was pretty talky...A success story.
