About Me

I am a woman, a mother, and successful career professional who is in love with life, the warmth of the sun on my skin, and the beauty of nature. I maxed out my retirement at my job with 34 years of creditable service and I retired as of July 1, ***. While I do think I can adjust to this new lifestyle, I expect it to be temporary and do intend to return to work until my youngest son is through college. For now I'm decompressing, having some fun, doing some house projects (yes, I'm quite handy for a lady) and eventually I'll seek employment again. I'm not a lady who sits idle, so for me busy is good and my guy needs to be able to keep up the pace.I thrive on soaking up the sun, love digging in the dirt to see what flowers I can grow or landscaping project I can undertake. I enjoy live music, sports, almost anything that takes me outside, arts, traveling, family time, fine dining, casual entertaining, the beach and the mountains. The beach recharges me and time at my mountain house provides down time, fresh air and is always a nice weekend get away. In ***I was introduced to the fun of couples dancing and came to enjoy East & West Coast Swing, and a few other dances. If you enjoy couples dancing, you get bonus points and if you love swing, then double points for you, as I really do want to dance regularly again.Having lost loved ones, I know how fragile life can be. I value life, family, honesty, health. I try to be positive, make the most of each moment, eat healthy, exercise and work hard at everything I do. I made the switch to a vegetarian diet June ***. I value both organic and vegan diets, but am far from those diets at this point. I have no expectations of a vegetarian partner, but I do want a partner who will encourage me to exercise as I continue my journey to a healthier lifestyle. I work hard to remain at my ideal weight, am far from perfect and don't seek perfection, but I'm not attracted to men who are over weight. Therefore, I seek a slim, toned or athletic individual, not someone significantly over weight.I am emotionally and financially stable, so I don't "need" but do "want" a relationship. The quality man I seek should be of similar age, and understand that with a 17 year old son, I am first a mom. While dating, I hope to meet someone with whom I can eventually build a trusting relationship with a view toward an eventual long term exclusive relationship. That having been said, I seek a man who is happy, makes me laugh, values nutrition, health, shares values, pleasures, respects me and is a true gentleman. I want my partner to know how to dress when we go out, to know and use manners, open doors for me and his reassuring arm on me should give me that, "I am his his lady" feeling. Don't be mistaken, he should have enough bad boy in him to cause me to smile and shake my head in amazement at times. A beginning with physical attraction, common interests, friendship, laughter, respect and trust should be a great foundation for a solid friendship and potential relationship. My children include a married daughter, a son age 21 and a son age 17, who have always been the center of my world. My daughter graduated college, works and gave our family a beautiful child Nov ***. My oldest son is a Senior at UGA this fall (Go Dawgs!) and my youngest son is a Junior in high school. As I reflect, their childhood days have passed at lightening speed. I'm enjoying the last couple of years with a son still home, yet beginning to consider and embrace the many transitions ahead, this new phase of life....retirement, returning to the work force for a second but brief career, and the youngest son eventually leaving the nest.I am a woman with many skills,enjoy order, a well maintained yard and home. I'm comfortable in jeans/shorts and a "T", but also have an assortment of little black dresses, heels and jewelry to dress up and join you on the town. I love concerts, dancing, live music, or a quiet evening at home with my man sharing a beer by the pool or a bottle of wine as we make dinner. I want to meet my new best friend, and eventual long term partner. We are not all going to have that essential chemistry or be partners, but I will try to respond to those who contact me, for everyone deserves words and acknowledgement.I never planned to grow old alone and I still don't; However, I won't settle, so this search seems to be long and ongoing. Thanks for reading my profile. God's speed on your journey and may good health and happiness be abundant in your life as we each search for that one person who may become our life partner. "It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best you very often get it". ~W. A coffee shop in the morning, a restaurant for lunch, an appetizer, a beer, a glass of wine, dinner, a frozen yogurt or a walk in the park. Anything goes as long as it affords both the opportunity to determine if we each wish to spend additional time together. Following us meeting, if we wish to see one another again, a first date could be anything we mutually decide. Surprise me and make a suggestion!

    Hi. I don't really have a secret. They just force you to write something catchy. The truth is that I am very recentlyseparated and am looking for a quirky, intelligent interesting man that will enjoy the company of a quirky intelligent interesting woman.It all sounds so cliche but I like to take moonlit walks, love candlelight and romantic places, enjoy almost all typesof music......sorry not an opera nor county music fan.......lolI have a son that I adore and four pets with very unique personalities......I am a youthful looking woman.....take pretty good care of myself and I am looking for a man who does the same.It is both daunting and challenging to begin a new chapter in life but I am looking forward to each new experience.I used to have a very very unusual job.....locally.... Which perhaps I will share with you. ;-)Please do not message me unless you have realistic pictures of yourself. Somewhere laid back where we can talk and see if there is a mutual connection. Coffee or a drink?????

    I am warm, easy going and appreciate the simple things that are far too often overlooked as we race through life. It really is true that the best things in life are free, you just need to look in the right places.I am dedicated to family and friends and will be the one left standing with you when all others have run for cover.I love to travel and explore life's hidden secrets. I have a passion for the sun, so you'll often find me soaking it up on the beach.Although he has not yet been found, the hopeless romantic in me still believes in "; and the practical side says it's o.k. to give destiny a little kick start. Keeping it casual, no pressure. Good conversation over a glass of wine or coffee.

    Looking for: man. In age: 51-61

    I want to find a friend. Movies at home or out. Share a dinner or ice cream. Talk or not. Someone to call if I feel lonely or be called when he is lonely,just for a voice or a please come over. But someone who understands job and family sometimes get in the way. I like country music but can rock. I am a karaoke queen and give a mean massage (and like them in return). My long red/brown hair is my pride. I am a professional and very proud of my accomplishments as a nurse. Like to read and watch all kinds of movies and TV. get to know each other somewhere public but with a chance to talk. No big OMG date just coffee or soda and time.
