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!

    Woman. 53 years old. Zodiac sign: Gemini.

    Looking for: man. In age: 50-60

    Hi, thanks for looking at my updated profile... I am looking for a man that is sensitive to my needs and wants to grow with me, but also remains a strong individual. There are trips I would like to take and adventures I would like to experience with someone I love and who loves me. There are subjects I would like to study and would appreciate love and support and I would give it as well. I also admire a man that is poised and gentlemanly when he needs to be, and knows how to kick back and relax too.I would prefer someone who does not drink or smoke pot. I also could not date someone that engages in hunting. Football is fine, but I am a niner fan. I like to spend a few hours on a Sunday at a fun bar, watch a good game sometimes.I like seeing live music, especially psychedelic jam, dead head bands. I also enjoy live theater and dance. I have a spiritual practice that includes yoga and meditation each morning and spriritual retreats.I have a road bike and ride the American River Parkway regularly for exercise. I like riding my bike to work and errands, seeing how long I can keep the car parked and not pollute the air. If you are out there, please send me a note....peace.**Important Disclaimer ** It is recommended that other members post a similar notice or meetville WILL USE YOUR PROFILE IN ADVERTISING WITHOUT YOUR EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT.

    Woman. 54 years old. Zodiac sign: Gemini.

    Looking for: man. In age: 51-61

    I am an attractive woman with a love for the quieter things in life. I enjoy road trips, traveling (traveled the world but would now like a partner to share that with); I love to go on road trips and explore back side towns. I like the water, the snow (although I no longer ski), and having a lovely drink and appie by the water. I've had a very interesting life, having written a book, traveled the world, and enjoyed a wonderful career. I'm not rich but I can take care of myself financially and have no debts. I work my own hours and in my spare time I love to nest at home;*sob*). I am afraid of large dogs...and allergic to fur. My girl is a Malitpoo and has hair.I do love to relax by watching movies and television. I love to go out with my girlfriends and sing along at Karaoke (can't sing, just love to do it anyway). I also enjoy playing cards and some boardgames. My music preference is oldies, and oldie country. I also love Cuban music and the blues. Comedy clubs are the best place to enjoy an evening! I have a very small family but enough friends to keep me happy. I am not desperate to find Mr. Right...but would love to find a partner who shares some of my interests (although I sure don't need a duplicate me!). I've been told I am quirky (and I have my quirks!), have a great sense of humor, and am passionate about some social issues.I will close by saying that I hope to meet an honest, financially secure person, who carries no baggage from previous relationships. I am a believer in moving forward and it would be so nice to do so with someone who shares similar values.Thanks for reading my profile! I'm looking forward too hearing from you! Don't be shy! Meet for drinks or coffee and take it from there!
