Hi you beautiful elders. I hope you are all having a wonderful day. The heat here in Florida is incredible. I usually spend most of my summers in Michigan, but I sold my house there last summer and have less reason to go, so I am staying here. I hope to do a Michigan trip in the fall, when funds will be more available.
I joined a (gay) church a year ago that has turned out to be such a positive thing for me. I am pretty non-religious, but there are very few other ways to meet people in Polk County. I have made many acquaintances with whom I am very comfortable, and who bring fun into my life. Even made a couple of very close friends who are now firmly imbedded in my family and I in theirs.
I have been single for a few months following a short living together relationship. I don't exactly feel on solid ground yet, but that is mostly due to the shifts in my family. My daughter and grandson moved out a few months ago and my son (finally!) graduated from High School. He still "resides" here, but is gone or asleep 90% of the time. So I have a lot of time on my hands.
Discovered a pub quite close to my house that is Lesbian owned. Fridays they have music (no cover, no drink minimum - can't beat it.) A lesbian group called Karmic Tattoo played a week ago. I went with a friend and had a great time. The place was crawling with Dykes of all ages. The atmosphere was more like a club than a bar. People were mingling and introducing themselves, which is great because I am not good at initiating things myself. If a friend is not available, I still do things alone rather than stay home. A relationship still interests me, (HINT HINT!!! LOL) but "nothins cookin" right now.
Love to hear from you silver folk.
Smooches,
Keri
