I am like most of you here responding. I have a lot of women that I know from church and the quilting group that meets once a month, but as far as paling around with them I usually don't. My very best friend is my sister who lives just a little over a mile from me. We are joined at the hip and totaly enjoy the same things. We laugh a lot, even at our age we are kind of silly. We both have husbands, her's is a very, very quiet man and mine is more outgoing. We really don't have the same interest except for playing cards with a couple once a week. Oh.....Forgot to say my DH is seventeen years older than I am. I am now noticing the age difference, me 66, him 84. Love him to death...We will have our 39th anniversary this April.
