@SengaL903370 

@DebS132580 

& others

Hello there all of you posting that you wish to be penpals 

Realize your newbies so you may not be aware that you can do as I did at top of this post @person name 

Without doing that its difficult to know who you are responding to ??? 

So open to post & type @ & list  of all those posted here will popup choose the person(s) you want then they will be recognized in your post & also they'll get email(if setup to in settings) & know you responded to them

Also you can click their avatar(name)  & send them private messages here if you desire to share addresses or email info cause not supposed to put personal info on thread they'll remove it

Good luck on being penpals

Hope you all are able to make great connections 

Just thought I'd share a little guidance it can be tricky learning how all works 

Have a blessed day!

Hi, I realize the post says "pen pals" wanted so maybe I should say that I'm interested in e-mail pals. I'm a senior gal and talk with my kids, grandkids, great-grands and close friends over the phoner and through text.  However, I enjoy going on the computer or tablet and writing an e-mail.  It's fun  to make new friends, share daily events, get to know each other and even learn from each other. If anyone is interested please feel free to drop me a line  ...  [email removed for security reasons] ... Stay well, stay happy and take care of you  🙂

I am new to this and look forward to having a penpal. I live in Glasgow, Scotland. Been engaged for 33years. Have 1 son(23) and a grandson (3 and a half). They keep me busy. I like to read, knit, take photographs, walks in the country. I had my wee dog sam for 11 years, he passed away on the 1st of Feburary this year. I miss him lost. I have been paid off from work due to a health issue. I volunteer in the Recovery Cafes in the North East of Glasgow, have done for the last 6 years.

I hope to hear from you soon.

I'm new to AARP Pen Pals too. I wanted to share that I was in you neck of the woods in June of 2019. I'd have to look at my itinerary again but we were in Troon and in Glasgow for a short time. We were out sightseeing castles.  Scotland is such a beautiful country and I would love to return and see it without time constraints. 

I work with behavior Health and enjoy volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. If you don't have a pen pal maybe we can communicate. 

I'm 66 years old.

@SengaL903370 

Hello I am new to being a penpal and noticed that you like to knit and live in Scotland.  I would love to have a penpal that is in another country.  Would you like to see if we would make a good match?  I am 32 and live in Vancouver, Canada.  I have been married for just over a year and are currently petless but if we couold have one we would definitely have a dog.

 

Regards,

Heather

Hi!  I’m single, retired, been an empty nester for years.  Love to travel.  I love being home too. Been focused on reading my Bible and history lately.  It would be nice to find someone who would like to write.  I’m pretty much middle of the road. I’m interested in why other countries don’t have so many inmates and what we can do here...  amongst many other things.

Where do you live?  I too love to write (I have a book published) and lately I have been focused on the Bible. Why don't you and I correspond and see what else we have in common?

I remember having 4 penpals in different parts fo the world many moons ago. We communicated for many yrs, but somehow drifted after some years. 

I'm single, live alone, but not lonely. Enjoy my liife and where I live - the country of Panama (Panama Canal, Roberto Duran, Noriega). Retired, and love to travel.

Anyone out there would like to communicate, feel free to drop me a line. You must know, I seldom access this site. Maybe I will visit 1/week (will try).
