ER in Chicago and looking for female buddies!

Hi, so glad to find this forum. I retired early at 53 and my husband is still working. We live in downtown Chicago and travel a lot. We are counting on his retirement to happen in the next 2-3 years and we'd like to move to a more moderate climate. We also currently own lakeside property in the Cliffs communities in South Carolina.

We are both very fitness oriented, and I am on a plant-based nutrition program which is the best change I've ever made!

I volunteer sporadically in the city, but I would also like to meet other women of my age and status for friendship, conversation and fun.

Welcome Lauren. I frequent Chicago, but not a woman, so I can't help you there. Enjoy the forum!
