My closest girl friend is 4yr north of me --- but who is meeting me on my vaca to WI. Woo hoo!!!

I joined a woman's meet up group years ago that obviously halted with COVID. We had some meet ups this past summer outside. In a couple of weeks will be an indoor dinner event. Its great - I can have a lovely 2hr hour dinner and visit but none of them are really someone I would hang out with personally - just dissimilar interests and activity levels. I keep going because new people do come and go and someone might really stick to get to know better. I'm a very active 50yr old but in this group the woman tend not to be. I live in a small midwest town so this is the ONLY meet up group.

As for my office - total employee count including myself and boss, 12 people and I'm 15-30yr older than the other woman. They interests seem to center around drinking... LOL!

But the guy who is doing the dog walk challenge with me met up with me last week to take in a performance at the theater last minute. It was strictly platonic and we have great conversations.
