Hi Judy, I am in the same boat. My husband passed away 5 years ego and I became lonely. I am now 65 and still working to not let myself be locked at home. Activities like camping, skiing, hiking or even theater are awkward and not fun when done without companion. I am trying to find a companion for a while, but men in our age are looking for ladies in their 50th or younger. The guys in their 70th are not able to keep up with any activities and need more of a nanny than companion. If I got interest from somebody younger it showed up to be a scanner. It is not easy being alone in our age.
