Hi, I'm new to the forum

Hello all. I am 57 and an AARP member. I was widowed almost 2 years ago. It has been a very difficult time for me. My husband and I had a wonderful marriage. He was funny and he played guitar and was a talented artist. He was 13 years older than I am, but much too young to die (68).

I was involved in grief support groups, but I am not attending now. I recently participated in our local 50+ spelling bee. It was so fun and our team won. I am looking for other activities such as possible tutoring or volunteering or classes - not sure just what yet. I like intellectual activities and I enjoy the humanities and the arts.

Thanks, Carolyn
