H is talking about turning part of the downstairs into a bedroom suite, but I hope we can find a house in a community that has people our age. <br />Warm zucchini fritters sound delicious.<br />I can tell that you're enjoying your time in Maui. I'm glad.

She makes me think. Paula and Tara very "new age" and enourage me to think outside the box. Lisa is young and single but never talks men or relationships, mostly what's happening on island and her travels. Other friends and I have connections over different topics ... I do like cooking, as well as eating and drinking. Different strokes for different folks.The Awkward Widowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729456066739275695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764389163852345785.post-70528124251228432015-01-12T15:06:17.652-08:002015-01-12T15:06:17.652-08:00Topics vary!

Books, activites to do, local news/gossip, developing community or villages, health issues, exercise, food, movies, vacations, visitors, kids and grandkids (sorry but I am lucky enough to have them!), church, photography, computers, lifestyles, hair maintenance, budgets, record keeping, essential oils, natural cleaners and remedies, happy hours, new restaurants or shops to visit, health insurance .... and so on.The Awkward Widowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729456066739275695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764389163852345785.post-43051210037765633962015-01-12T15:01:13.633-08:002015-01-12T15:01:13.633-08:00I was pleasantly surprised that everyone contacted...I was pleasantly surprised that everyone contacted me FIRST!

I hung around with women for a while when I was first a widow and the topic always got back to men and fashion (eye roll here). Like a woman being alone was a bad thing, a temporary state at best! <br />Do you keep conversation light and joke about the foibles of being single now, or probe deeper into 'uncomfortable' topics like loss and finding new meaning in life? BTW, I never talk about kids and food, because one, I don't have kids, and two, food isn't that important to me.
