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!

    I'm not hot or gorgeous. I don't have an amazing figure or a flat stomach. I'm far from being considered a model, but I'm me. I eat food, I have curves, I have more fat than I should, I have scars,the biggest one being on my heart from my husband cheating..dont cheat guys the sex can not be worth the damage you do to her heart! I have a history. Some people love me, some like me, some hate me. I have done good, I have done bad. I love my PJs, I go ...without make-up sometimes and my hair's a mess sometimes. I'm random and crazy, I don't pretend to be someone I'm not. I am who I am, you can love me or not. If I love you, I do it with all my heart!! I make no apologies for the way I am. Always be proud of who you are! I'm energetic, enthusiastic and optimistic!! I dont know why everybody thinks its ok to just meet and have sex...thats not a date...am I the only one alive thats not looking for just sex! Dinner and a movie might be a better start..

    Country Cowgirl here. Simple and easy going. I love the outdoors; been fishing since I was 5 years old, hunting from 18 years old, camping since 5 yrs old. Have had horses on and off my whole life. It would be nice to find someone who likes to horseback ride. I'm also interested in doing some horse camping.And maybe even try some horse backpacking. Was brought up with dogs my entire life. Have only 3 now. I'm looking for someone to share my interests in horses, dogs and the outdoors. Don't let all this fool you, I'm a lady.I'm very creative making things most of the time; sewing, quilting, crafting, stain glass, etc. Also like to cook and bake. Don't like eating out a lot. Like my healthy home cooking better. Do like to eat out once in while especially foods I'm not well versed in. Always enjoy a romantic diner out. A good movie out is nice once in a while. I prefer a home cooked meal (especially Bar-B-Q) and a soak in a hot tub after a horseback ride.Like to go RVing. Would like to also travel. So I do love adventure and know how to handle myself in the wilderness. Could use a G.P.S. thou. LOLI have lived in my small house in the country for over 20 years now. I love country life and would like to maybe live further out in the country. I keep pretty busy most of the time. There are always rides to go on or other activities. And in between all that, there is always projects around my 2.5 acre place.This cowgirl is not a shop to you drop or high fashion, don't care about that stuff. Rather go to the tack store or Western Store. Most of the time I'm in jeans, Justins & a cowboy hat. On warm summer days you may find me in a sun dress thou. Would like to maybe take up some kind of dancing. Have tried Contra, fun! The little things in life are the things I find important. I'm spiritual not a church goer.; boating etc.If it sounds like we have things in common,I would look forward to chatting with you.Happy Trails to you! ;) Have coffee and visit with each other.If there is a spark and interest between us....then we can explore other activities together.Friends First, would enjoy getting to know you.Have a wonderful day!
