Falling in Love at 72

I guess the one word that sums it up is "Joy".

I decided to write an article called "Internet Dating in your Seventies". It was published in the Concord Monitor on August 21, 2011. It was the result of researching three sites, eHarmony, Senior People Meet and Match.com.

In the process of my research I wrote a short note to a nice looking guy from Maine. I kind of forgot about it as I had dropped the subscriptions to the dating sites since my article was published.

I kind of enjoyed getting the emails, so I decided to join Match.com for another month. I heard from the guy in Maine who had just joined.

The rest is history. We alternate between his beautiful farm on the coast of Maine and Concord, NH where my apartment is.

My son, daughter-in-law and grandkids came to visit us this week at my apartment in Concord. It was so good to see them and I can't believe how big they have gotten in the time I haven't seen them.

Now that the New Year is here, I have lots of goals. Eat healthier, more exercise - you know the drill. Bobby and I having a wonderful time and are looking forward to having my children and grandchildren visit this summer and going clamming down at the cove.

We wish everyone a healthy happy New Year.
