MAKE NEW FRIENDS, BUT KEEP THE OLD!

Making new friends when you move seems to be the hardest thing, especially when your kids are grown and not in school. So, I have been here in Idaho for two years and haven't really met too many people until the other day. I accidentally got something at my house that was intended for a neighbor, so I took it over to her. Nice person!

I kept thinking, gee its so hard to meet people. Where do I start? I was going to the Craft Stores, Shows, but nothing. Everyone says, join crafting groups, or volunteer. But what about when you are shy? Well, remember that neighbor? She invited me to a meeting, and that was that! Parties, crocheting/knitting groups, and volunteering. Hmmm! Needless to say, I'm feeling so much happier now, and a little less shy.

It was hard leaving my Best Friend behind, and I know I will never want to replace her, but it is nice having someone to hang out with. I hope she never replaces me (as a Best Friend). We were destined to be lifelong friends, I'm sure of it!!!
