I am praetty much alone where I live now except for my sister and we do not hang out much because she is busier with her friends now. I am however blessed with 3 wonderful friends that I could shop with, eat with, read with, sew with, or just sit and do nothing with and feel confortable doing any of that with any of them. One I have known for 43 years, one for 19 years and the other for 16 years. We are all scatter now but still visit on occassion and talk on the phone. I miss being with them.
