[quote=Anonymous]What I saw with my parents... Dad was on two golf teams and spent a lot of time on house projects Mom went to an exercise class 3x a week and made a friend through that who she'd get together with for lunches etc. Regular trips to the library. Reads a lot. She's always been a homebody, happy with 1-2 friends. Once my sister (who lives nearby) had kids, she spent a lot of time helping with them. DH is now retired while I'm still working FT. He does volunteer tutoring a couple times a week. Long dog walks. Home repair projects. Some handyman work at our church. Plays a lot of videogames. He doesn't really have local friends of his own but he's also like my mom, never seemed like he wanted a big social group. We'll often see friends on the weekend (where I'm friends with the wife and he likes the husband well enough but would never initiate a guys-only activity). [/quote]
