Do you ever go out to eat by yourself?

[Janet]

Some of the elderly just go out to eat to look at other people and not be alone. You should've seen the look on this one lady's face when I asked if she was meeting anyone. She said no, but was tired of eating alone so she thought she'd eat out for a change.....she was the first one I had ever asked if she would like to sit with me. She was so happy and we ended up talking for over an hour and 30 mintues.
