We are not big party people, and we don't golf. We also don't enjoy large groups but prefer to have a few close friends to do things with occasionally, as opposed to partying with "80 of our closest friends." We have found common enjoyment in pickleball and enjoy the people we've played with, and I like to walk the dog (after dark because he's big and gets hot in the sun) and do some exercise classes. My husband likes model trains and enjoys that club and also volunteers for SCORE, a part of the SBA. And we go to a few Three Rivers Club functions. That's not a whole lot, but it's our comfort level. We enjoy our home and especially the lanai and front porch in the mornings and evenings, and we spend a lot of time reading and surfing the net.
We've gotten to know and love our next-door neighbors, but not too many others; it's a quiet street. We're fine with all of that. We like to make friends coincidentally and not determinedly. (Is that a word?) We just went to our first TOTV meet-up at Crispers after a year of being on this forum, and we met some very ice people.
When we feel like doing something different, it's time to do it. No pressure.
