Love this Ellen. I too have a huge heart for hospitality. And I too left a large table when we sold our dream house we built to set off on a different adventure. We did not end up where we wanted but we are still slowly making friends. Coffees and lunch dates are my love language but also I enjoy gathering people in our new home. Great ideas too for cultivating different aspects of hospitality. ❤️❤️

Janet, I can so relate! Making friends is slow going, and where we live, we are all traveling to see family in other places, so regular gatherings are hard to come by. I think it makes the small meetups so precious to me.

I’m so glad you connected with this today, Paula! Moving in the later years certainly has challenges, especially for us introverts. 😉
