Hello Pamela,

 

I seem to have gotten a message from you via the AARP pen pals website, so this email is in response.  I hope that you will consider me as a potential pen pal.  I am an early retired professional.  I reside in an upscale suburb of Memphis TN.  I am educated and articulate.  By now, I have probably read thousands of books, and that means that I know at least a little about a lot of things, which can make for some good conversation.  I am 67, divorced, not looking to "date" or anything like that -- I just seek friendship,  My dog Gracie is a German sheperd, and she makes a great security system.  My email is [EMAIL ADDRESS AND POSTAL ADDRESS REMOVED FROM PUBLIC VIEW> PLEASE USE THE PRIVATE MESSAGING OPTION]  Let me hear from you, please.  Thanks!

Hello Trisha,

 

I welcome the opportunity to begin a penpal friendship with you and I am eager to learn more about you soon.  I think that I told you a little about myself -- at least enough to reassure you and to get started.  Whatever else that you might like to know, just feel free to ask me.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Hello.  I actually hated to put my birthdate down for fear none would respond to such an aged person, but heck, I am what I am.   My names is Catherine and I live in East Texas, what they call the Piney's.  I am not sure what I can write for the 1st time, so I will begin by saying my husband passed away December 2018.  I started trying to pick up the pieces and get on with things, but this morning I decided to see if there were any pen-pal organizations around.  I don't take pictures well and just chose this one as I look happy.  Truthfully, I am not always happy, but I am positive and try to be.   So many things I could write about myself but unsure I would get any replies, so I am up to hearing about others and their life.

Hello Michelle,

 

I might be willing to serve as a "pen pal" for some of your seniors via "snail mail" or email.  I have plenty of time on my hands as I have been retired for about fourteen years and I really don't do much except read a lot (something I love to do), mess with my dog (I have a German sheperd), and watch a little television.  I am articulate and educated.  I was a professional and musician.  I have two daughters, seven grand kids, and two great grand kids.  I am divorced.  My father was a mathmatician and my mother was a musician and artisit.  I live in an upscale suburb of Memphis.  I am a Christian.  I am 66.  That's enough to get started.   [email address and postal address removed from public view.

Hello Sandy, 

I hope this finds you well and healthy. 

 

I appreciate your responding to my post. 

 

I have several ladies that would be interested in becoming pen pals. Most live alone, little family contact and this time of year becomes tough on them. I will be sure to pass along the information that I have found others that are interested in pen pals as well. Call me old school, but I remember my grandmother having several ladies she would write letters to often. I guess it just stuck with me. 

 

As I mentioned, most of these ladies do not have computers or emails, so postal service is their mode at this time. I have offered to be the go-between until more solid connections have been established, I will not, however, be opening any letters sent to or from the ladies. 

 

I wish you the warmest of holidays and many blessings in the new year.

Hello Sharon, 

 

I seem to have gotten an email from you via the AARP pen pals website, so this is in response.  First thank you so much.  I hope that you get this message.  I am an early retired professional, living in an upscale suburb of Memphis TN.  I am 67 and divorced.  I am not looking for a "date" or anything like that, just friendship and exchange of ideas.  I love to read and take care of my German shepherd, Gracie.  Other than that, I am resting from leading a very bust life.  When I retired, I really retired and simplified everything.  I don't even have a car, although I esed to have some nice ones.  I have two grown daughters with their own families, seven grand kids, and even two great grand kids.  My[EMAIL ADDRESS AND PERSONAL ADDRESS REMOVED FROM PUBLIC VIEW FOR YOUR SAFETY- PLEASE USE THE PRIVATE MESSAGE FUNCTION] Let me hear from you soon!

Hello Angie,

 

Got your message this morning -- thank you for your interest!  I promise that I am safe, too.  I am not really looking for a "date" or anything like that, just friendship, exchange of ideas, and spirituality.  I think that I told about myself some in my notification that you read.  I live in an upscale suburb of Memphis TN called Germantown (it is really nice).  I am educated and articulate, for what that's worth.  I love to read.  I was a professional muscian.  I own a Greman shepherd named Gracie and love dogs.  We can email (my preferencebecause its easier and faster) or "snail mail" (if you prefer -- you may not have a computer).  Please tell me a little more about yourself.  Where are you?  - Alan Gray

Hello Trisha,

 

I am willing to try being your pen pal friend if you're interested.  I have all kinds of time on my hands.  I live in an upscale suburb of Memphis, Tennessee called Germantown.  I love to read and by now, I must have read literally thousands of books.  Seriously!  I am educated and articulate.  My father was a mathmatician and violinist and my mother was a musician and artist.  I am originally from east central Illinois (Champaign-Urbana).  I have a younger sister and a younger brother, and two daughters.  I am divorced.  Well, maybe that's enough to get started.  I prefer email, but I am willing to do "snail mail" too, if that is what you are looking for.  Please get in touch and tell me a little more about yourself.  Thanks in advance for your interest!

Hello Alan,

 I was just browsing this site for the first time, and your name kept coming up. I said 'this guy sounds interesting, he sounds like he is the friend to have'. I am retired, female, 60, and like you 'not looking to date' just wish I had someone to 'talk' to. I live in Phoenix, AZ ( I love the desert ) , am the proud "cat mom" to 4 , very spoiled cats, whom would love to give Gracie a run for her money. Hope we can become "pals".  Have a great day.

Hello Bev,

 

Let's give it a try.  I have been retire for about 14 years.  I am willing to use email (which I prefer, because its a bit easier on my aging wrists and faster) or "snail mail" (if that's what you prefer -- maybe you don't have a computer).  I am safe -- I am not interested in finding a "date"; those days are long gone!  I just turned 67.  I am more interested in friendship, exchanging ideas, and the spitritual at this time of life.  I, too, love to read.  If you asked me, I would probably say that that is my main hobby -- I have read literally thousand of books by now, and I still read about five a month or more. I also love dogs and own a German shepherd named Gracie.  She makes for a great security system!  I have been to Virginia a couple of times and really enjoyed my visit.  Please get in touch and tell me more about yourself.

Hello. 

 

My name is vanessa and I'm interested in the penpals. I am 66 years old. I'm divorced grandmother of two. I have one daughter and two grandkids who are all adults. I am retired so I spend lots of my time at home and around the house. But on occasions when the weather is nice I like to sit out by the pool, have a nice glass of lemonade, watch the kids swim in the pool, listen to some good music and bbq. I like arts and crafts. And I also like sewing and knitting. I like bingo. Walks in the park. Meeting new friends and more. And I would also like to be added to your penpal list for penpals from people all over the world doesnt matter if male or female. But I prefer someone whose close to my age that I can relate to. If anyone is interested in being my penpal, please send me a Private Message using the community function

Thanks in advance

Good afternoon, 

 

I would love to be pen pals! 

 

I am looking for pen pals. One that doesn't mind email. I was thinking of making it a weekly, biweekly, or monthly correspondence depending on their schedules. During these times, I feel that it is a good time to reach out to people and make friends. A little about me, I am recently married and almost 31 years old. We have two cats and a dog. I have been called an "old soul" my entire life which may be why I studied history and library science in college. I love history, listening and telling stories. I am really into puzzles, reading, gardening, baking, and crafts. I am currently learning cross stitch and crochet. 

Thank you! I look forward to hearing you all! Have a happy holidays:)
