About Me

My heart is on the trail between jagged, snow-capped peaks and rushing waters. Call me a determined optimist. I believe passionately in leaving a better world. I am spirited, smart, inquisitive, happily feminine, fit, passionate, and active. I’;Be joyful despite the facts." Among the identities I’ve worn and enjoyed are journalist, Congressional policy aide, and teacher. Being "mom" has been my most cherished role, and though that work is largely done, the pleasure of independent adult sons remains.For me, one kind of perfect day is a hike during the river roar of snowmelt just as tender lilies shoot up through the last glints of winter. I carry paper scraps and scribble notes for stories and poems. Then they go through the wash forgotten in my pockets but somehow, I remember key words. And pictures are indeed worth a thousand, so I *** clouds above tree line and between ridges. Share with me what brings awe to your life. I seek a co-conspirator for adventures, romance, comedy and laughter, delight, and trying on ideas. We all have tall wish lists. A few on mine: I want you to be smart, passionate, emotionally available, adventurous, kind, interested in personal growth, physically fit, and able to see the humor in life. Ideally, we are both lifelong learners. But not perfect ;-)I'm really looking for a best friend with whom I share playful, intellectual, physical and emotional chemistry. In my thinking, best friends do things together--apart, and sometimes separate things side by side. Though I can and do wear velvet gowns and enjoy a dressy night out--see photos, I'm most comfy in denim. I’m a passionate explorer and am hoping to meet someone with passions and experiences both similar and different than mine. There are many places and things I’ve yet to experience. For example, I'd enjoy learning to snowboard or ski. I am comforted standing next to glaciers that make me feel small. If you lose me on the trail, chances are I’ve found the perfect womb in an ancient tree to nest in.If you have a kayak or canoe, bonus points. If you can reteach me to flyfish or might learn with me, more bonus points. I adore being read to. Semi-sweet chocolate or a hand-picked bouquet will delight me. I love the city, too--plays, music, comedy, fine dining, etc. Yet if I had to choose between mountains and skyscrapers, I'd stop in the city on the way to or from the peaks. I can live in either the wilds or the city, and like to be reasonably close to both. Travel is a must here and there--that's part of the experience v. stuff.Being playful brings balance as I make my living with my head. Of course, all the usual apply. I cry at movies where the dog grows old and dies. You’ll find me enjoying all varieties of film, and I’m not above renting children’s movies that make me laugh. History fascinates me. I can root for the Seahawks win or lose. Good thing, huh?I’m very much a grown-up and still like stuffed animals that squeak. Though I'd love it if you lived next door already, I cannot be flexible on those four "chemistry" qualities, so I'm open to a wee bit of distance, as my work and life have some flexibility.--depends on cards in the next hand.I wish you the best. Let's chat about favorite people and journeys, walk and talk, and be ready for the possibility of magic. At the same time, I'm always open to new friendships--so "no pressure" on a first date is important.

    Woman. 55 years old. Zodiac sign: Aquarius.

    Looking for: man. In age: 52-62

    I am creative and resourceful. I spend most of my time making or fixing things and am never been bored. I love my friends like family, my family like friends. From a fairly conservative upbringing, I now am more moderate. I love music, books, gardening, design of all kinds and really enjoy learning about different cultures and trying to speak their languages. Pretty good in Italian and French but like to try Spanish and German, too. Genealogy is my biggest addiction. I can get lost doing it for days and hours on end! Also love fixing things, seeing what makes them work or making them work again.I despise inconsideration either on the road, in a queue, in a store, at a restaurant or in relationship. I would like to be a little more laid back than I am. People call me intense and busy, so maybe someone is out there who can tame me! Since being widowed in ***, I have had very little contact with new men...and I really miss having one special man to love and with whom to spend time. I miss the interchange of everyday life, from the evening news to house and garden stuff to planning trips to a physical partnership. Come on y'all, gimme a call! Sports or music event, breakfast, lunch, dinner, a hike, a picnic...I guess to be determined by the two involved!

    I enjoy most kinds of music, love to go dancing, spending time with family and friends. More to tell in person. I am not looking for friends with benefits, taking care of someone that can't take care of himself,would love to find a best friend, soul mate, someone that will have my back as i will have his. Life is too short to keep dealing with BS so if that is what you have to bring to this then step on by, been there done that not looking to repeat it!! I have children all grown with families of their own. So, are you out there? I think you are!!
