No dates, but I had a wonderful weekend! I have enough going on this week that I haven't had time until now to mention last weekend, and another one is about to hit me...Not too bad for someone who is supposed to be sad, lonely, with very few friends! (According to the one eH match I actually saw in person last year.)

My late husband and I belonged to a group, and I attended a dinner meeting last Friday, saw people we both liked. (All the guys are married, or young enough to be my kid/grandchild, or 20 to 25 years older.) Saturday, I attended another dinner with a male group my husband belonged to. Wives/widows/family/friends/etc. invited, so I went. Saw all these people I hadn't seen in a while, and acquired a new business contact (have the order in hand), and a possible second customer. (No eligible men here either, but I had a good time AND about 10 people told me how good I looked!)
Sunday, I attended an organ concert. Booorringgg? Not at all! A church organ was spotlited (fundraiser): There was a silent movie, with the organ playing along, just the way it was over 80 years ago. The film was rather good, and I enjoyed this historical accuracy. The score was enjoyable, well performed by an excellent organist. (One cute man, possibly within my age requirements, but--boo hoo--I saw a ring on his left hand, sob!)

As I have mentioned, I have been trying to meet new people (not only men to date) and I won't if I sit in front of a TV. I want to learn new things; so far, I have attended lectures, classical concerts, walked on organized neighborhoods walks, toured a radio station, and joined a new organization, as well as some other things. I have the time to be more involved in my church. It does help that I am an extrovert, of course. Eventually, I expect to begin encountering the same people, with whom I will have things in common.

I have been working, attending my various organizations' meetings last week and this week, and will volunteer for a nonprofit for a couple of hours on Saturday.

The following weekend? I will worship--church class--at a different faith. I will attend my own church. I also have a Bach or g y planned, at two different locations, and may even use public transportation to, between, and from the events.

The cost for all this? It's all very low cost ($5!), or a donation (even $1 is acceptable if you are truly poor), or totally free!

Maybe the free weekend will produce date(s). eH keeps sending me these special offers, but with so few (less than 20, most of whom closed, of which the feeling was mutual for several) matches for so much $, I'm not paying anything until/unless I am sent noncrazies who do not close before I even see them. (See my comments a while back on the "Other" thread.)

Anyway, I'm having a wonderful time--last week, last weekend, this week, this next weekend, and the following weekend!

Not bad at all!
