Hello I have been lurking on an off this website for a few months now and this is my first posting here so be gentle with me!:blush.
I am in my late 50's and recently retired 18 months ago from a 30 year career. My kids are grown and out of the nest. My fiancé (also retired) and I are snow birds and wondering how anyone has made new friends/community in this pandemic. We will be in our new seasonal home soon but I will be missing our friends and local community very much here. We are afraid to go out to bars and restaurants since we do not want to risk the exposure. How does one make friends and become part of a new community when everything is in lockdown and it is so hard to meet new people?
