Hello good humans, I see the last post in this thread was two weeks ago. Well, it used to take a couple weeks to get a letter, so all is not lost!
I've been on the planet for 59 years this time. I'm a single woman in Vermont! This state has more women than men and being single at this age here is a bit challenging I will say.
Part of my challenge, I will admit, is that I am content living on my own here. I've been single so long it just seems normal to me.
When I tell people my age, they are usually shocked and think I am much younger. I have no kids (except two cats). I bought an old 1890 brick house on a half acre a few years ago and have been renovating and planting here.
I love this property and house but am not attached to staying here. I had a vision of being off grid and I am certainly not off grid although I do live on the edge of town in a sort of green belt, so I have lots of space around me.
I thought, how cool there is a creek on the side of the property, but it wasn't so cool when it flooded last July! Jokes on me, buying a house in the flood plain but it's actually not that bad if one is ready for it, the basement can get a little wet but the rest of the house is wonderful.
Anyway! It's pretty crazy up here because every time I see a cool looking dude who looks a bit worn in a nice way, I think, oh he looks interesting but then here comes his wife and a bunch of kids.
It's like clockwork. Now when I see an interesting dude, I start looking around for his wife or partner.
I'm ok alone but it would be so fun to find someone handy who is into the same things I am and has a good sense of humor. I'm living a clean and sober life and am physically in great shape. I paint murals for a living.
I wont post a photo here in keeping with the norm because I don't see any of you other old farts putting up photos. I will though! I don't mind.
peace, Lopi
