I am from Orange County, California - now living in "The Villages", Florida. Was considering Oceanside for retirement, but decided on Florida. Please write and tell me more about you. Working near Manassas, VA.
That sounds interesting.

Hi I was raised in Orange Co. and thought of retiring in Oceanside but enjoy living in the Central Coast Calif. so I'm selling my house in Oceanside. Do you know how to get a penpal from Europe? I'm leaving for a trip there real soon. Thanks!

What a great idea AARP. I guess I was a little confused with the penpal process here. I'm from New Jersey and I've always wanted to find a penpal but didn't know how to go about it....so this is great. Send me a message if you're interested in chatting.

I created a profile years ago and put my picture on it so this pulled it over. If you haven't created a profile, do so and include your picture. I'm still unsure...can we send a private message to a penpal without having to post it here for everyone to read? I would think that makes more sense with having a penpal otherwise this should be called a message blog.

i am 66 years old. i was injured in a fall last year and underwent a serious surgery on my leg. since then i have been home bound and at times very lonely even though i have caregivers. i live in Penna and would like to communicate through email. people used to say before the pandemic that they could not understand how i could stay inside and now they say they don't want to go outside. i like to communicate with all nationalities. I am a christian. my family includes many different cultures and I would like to communicate with happy people also, all genres. i sometimes feel pretty lonely. ag does not matter. hope to hear from someone soon.

Hello, I am currently live in Los Angeles, California but will be moving to Las Vegas, Nv. within the next month. I know the timing is not the best to move but had been planned prior to our country's present situation. I am 66 years old and love to talk, listen and have great conversation in person, phone and by e-mail. It would be great to have a new friend to communicate with...Hopefully will hear from you soon..

Hi - Am not real "techy" and not sure if I'm doing this right but would love to have a pen pal - I wrote that I am retired in Orange County, Ca., but from the east coast (originally Philly). Been to Fla. a few times (have a friend in Marco Island) and like the state. I live in a townhouse near the beach. If you would like to continue writing, please reply. Hope to hear from you.
