you sound like me CarriePie! my wife & i have many many friends but not the type where you visit in homes for gatherings & enjoy soft social time. we hardly do that because we're not going to get caught up in the "party" social scene. there's certainly an abundance of that near where we live. i don't like shopping, even for myself & i used to hike often. now, it's a bike. i'll start hiking in heaven 1 day again!
