Hi Claire,

I would love to write to you.  Former Orange County, CA resident now living in a senior community in Florida.  Hope you will send a note soon!  Holidays are coming - let's be penpals!

1. Hi Claire. My name is Steffi. I am kind of new to this part of the AARP site. It just stumbled across it and saw your post. I thought I would send an email and maybe we can be penpals. Read you are currently in California but come from the Philly area. I grew up in northeast Philly and now live in bucks county right outside of Philly. I currently work full time hoping to retire the end of next year. I would like to go part time starting in March 2020 through the end of the year. I am married for the second time and we have 3 dogs and a summer mobile home at the Jersey shore. I love to crochet mostly for neo-natal unit at local hospital and nursing home residents. Well that is a summary of my current life. If interested in corresponding drop me a line and tell me about yourself. Looking forward to hearing from you. Steffi

Am not sure what's going on.  I clicked "Introduce Yourself", put my interests info out there but have no idea where my message is now.  It says I have one reply but I think it's my message - I couldn't find it. 

I know my message is very exclusive to a very narrow area (Orange County, Ca.) but I would like to meet up with anyone in any of the cities of O.C.  Is the way I did this ok??

Am retired, living alone - tho' I do enjoy my own company some, I love social interaction and find it less and less. Wondering if there is anyone out there who would like to write or even meet for coffee.  I am a in my 70's, healthy enough, family not nearby (except 1 daughter), dread holidays tho' I love Xmas, family activities.  I adore animals (espec. horses), day trips (private), camping, and playing games for fun.  Anyone game?

     I DO have a few caveats - I am a basic right-winger, have faith in God, love home-life, feel all races are just fine, a person's age is of little importance, and love the mountains and beach (shore, on the east coast).
