Dinner with a Friend

Tonight I had dinner with a friend and former coworker. There is little as pleasant as having dinner and a glass of wine with someone that you could talk to for hours about family, friends, hobbies, etc. Being retired, even though Hubby is great, I do miss the lunchtime conversation with another woman. I think it is a real danger as we get older to want to stay home and we inadvertently narrow our horizons. I made two New Years Resolutions on that topic. The first was to get out of the house at least 5 times a week( church and the drug store count). The second is to contact one friend a week. I found my friend made a similar resolution. She is still working so the getting out of the house 5 times a week is not a problem.
