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!

    "Welcome to My Profile Page" I'm a Romantic at Heart with an honest desire to find my Perfect Match, isn't that why we are all here?? It is very difficult to summarize who I am and what I'm looking for in a relationship in a few short paragraphs. So if you are interested, please send me an *** we could chat and get to know one another........Honesty, sincerity and good communication are so important. Looking for someone who is settled in their life and value family. I love a sense of humor (even if we laugh at ourselves) LOL. I would like someone that shares a healthy and positive lifestyle as I do. I'm also a wonderful cook and enjoy romantic meals at home by the fireplace. Enjoy all kinds of music from 80's (back in the day) to Beyonce, Rihanna and Adele to Jazz. If you feel we share the same interest I would love to hear from you and get to know more about you....... Thanks for reading my profile and good luck in your search to find that special match.********P.S. - ALSO MY PICTURES ARE RECENT********* My first date would just be going somewhere in which we could talk and get to know each other. Either for a drink, coffee or just a walk in the park. If we know there is chemistry there that will lead to the 2nd date and hopefully others.....

    I'am an easy going passionate person. That loves to spend time at home by the water, I enjoy planting flowers, and growing many plants, (veg's) I LOVE TO COOK AND I MISS COOKING FOR SOMEONE. I like to read and watch tv,playing on ***, my space,(Games) keeping in touch with famly... I like doing things outdoors,(ENJOY NATURE AND ITS UNTOUCHED BEAUTY) swimming ,hot tubbing, fires,camping,going for drives and seeing new place's. I do injoy spending time with my grandbaby's when time allows they live so far away (3 hours) BUT IT'S BETTER TIME SPENT WITH THEM WHEN I DO GET TO SEE THEM. kids they are really a gift. I have learned so much looking though thier eyes. All the ? they ask. pure honest love they are so TRUSTING (we should all be so pure at heart like when we where young)LIKE THE SONG DESPERADO SAYSNow it seems to me, some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you cant get And then the next part is so true.......Desperado, oh, you aint gettin no youger Your pain and your hunger, theyre drivin you home And freedom, oh freedom well, thats just some people talkin Your prison is walking through this world all alone.It seems like we are searching for what so many others are searching for. Someone to say I love you and have them say it back.Someone that will understand us as we will understand them.Someone to listen as we will listen to them.Someone to trust as they would trust us.Someone to communicate with as they would communicate to us. I agree people need to be comfortable as friends and determine if there is any more to go on;however,I feel it is very important to let people know your intentions of long term or only ever friends.(below.. and not in this order for they are all #1 with me)Passion, Attitude , Understanding, Trust and Communication. Are the most important things in a relationship even.... if the relationship is that of frends, lovers, or soulmates (I whould like to find them all) ...but with that being said in life all things are not allways what we perceive them to be and many times in communication words or meaning's get lost in translation. I guess going back to one basic rule is to love and trust yourself and all things fall into place if given time.LOVE is alot like a garden reap what you sow... tend to it and water wen dry... and watch it bloom and grow into something very beautifulI am looking for someone who is confident and comfortable with who they are.(because iam) Someone that is easy to talk with. Someone who dislikes drama and who believes that life is short too to play games with someones heart. Someone who likes laughter, has morals, and who is romantic. iam a bbw its not allway whats on the outside that counts its what on the inside that matters more to me. best luck in your fishing!!! have a cup of coffie for starters.... then now that where getting into summer a nice walk on the beach.***Without the rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.-
