There are things that senior citizens can enjoy. It may be tough to get out, but there are some places that you still can go to. The winter times can be hard to find things to do. A person can get the winter blues by just sitting in the house all day long, everyday.
The best things are church functions. There are lots of church dinners and activities. This is a good way to meet people around your community. Usually you just need your Bible, maybe a covered dish, and then a ride.
Going to the movies with your friends can be a good way to get out. All that has to be done is to find the closest movie theater and they can be rather cheap during the day.
