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!

    Okay. She's back! So... Here goes... Well, I guess this should be about both of us (right??), so let’s see what I can come up with…this is important stuff - right?!? ;-)About ME: How to make this tantalizing but honest… Let’s see… Okay – I’m really a lot of fun and only slightly crazy (that’s the result of either having 2 teen-aged sons - both now in college - and/or the practice of law – not sure which is more culpable). Always up for a few laughs and a good glass of wine (a margarita will do on occasion as well). I’ve yet to meet a man who was immediately drawn in by the fact that I love to read or take long walks/jogs through the park, so I’ll save that scintillating info for later.About YOU: This is important stuff!! I'm interested in a man who is an intelligent, well-educated professional.. Who makes me laugh...and maybe a little tingly... Look, let's get honest here - Everyone has his/her preferred "type" by this point in life and while I'm flattered, mine is not the cowboy-type, nor is it the guy with multiple pictures of his motorcycle or "selfies" half-nude in the bathroom mirror. (LOTS of gals may LOVE those guys - that's why God made us all different!)... The rest we will just have to play by ear… or eye… How’s that? Isn't this FUN?! Why don't we let you take the lead in this regard? I'm flexible and can find fun in a variety of venues!

    Woman. 51 years old. Zodiac sign: Leo.

    I am an easy going person and generally very positive attitude, I like people who are the same type personality, I don't usually care for people who are down on themselves all the time. I am looking for someone to spend time with and be friends because I believe that is the best way to begin a relationship, if something more develops that would be wonderful. I really miss having someone that I look forward to coming home to. I am someone who loves doing little things for the special person in my life so that they know how much I care about them. Also enjoy spending time with family but at this point in my life my children are grown and it would be nice to have someone to spend time with. If you are interested in knowing more send me a message. I love to be outdoors doing pretty much anything. I like traveling even if it is just a long weekend trip just to get away from the day to day routine. I work in an office all week so when I get off of work I enjoy being outside whether it is taking a walk, cooking out with friends and family, camping or just sitting around a fire. Also enjoy riding motorcycles and would like to one day learn to ride and get my own bike. Enjoy pretty much all types of music except for rap. I have grandsons who play football and enjoy watching them. I enjoy spending time with the people in my life who are important to me and letting them know they are loved. I am a very upbeat optimistic person, you will usually see me with a smile and I do not stress the little things in life. I also tend to look for good in everything and everyone around me. At this point in life I know that time passes really quickly so I try to enjoy every minute of every day, at times with the right company anything you do can be fun. Just looking to meet someone who is truly interested in really getting to know each other and have real relationship as friends first and then see where it goes.I saw this statement on someone's profile and really think it is true so I decided to add it to my profile. "God determines who walks into your life....it is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go". Depends on the person but usually dinner in a quiet place so that you can talk and get to know each other is a great start
