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!

    It's very hard to write about yourself. But I have no problem talking. Take a chance and find out for yourself what makes me tick. I will tell you that our conversations will not be boring!I am a full time volunteer and am passionate about what I do. My kids are also very important to me. If you are a serial dater - not interested. If I won't recognize you on a first date because your pictures are old - not interested. I'm not looking to play games or act like I'm 25. I've done a lot, seen a lot , and ready for a new beginning with someone special who can sweep me off my feet. Being picked up by a stretch limo, driven to the airport where we would be wisked off to a private island for a romantic dinner on the beach and you would feed me chocolate covered strawberries. ONLY KIDDING!! Meeting for a drink or dinner somewhere we could both be comfortable with great conversation and lots of laughs would be a great start.

    Hello, How are you doing?Well it is October, Fall is on its way! Life really does go by fast! I want a relationship that we both can enjoy! When in this relationship I want us to Kiss when we see each other! No matter what we look or smell like, the first thing is the "Kiss". WHY? RESPECT? ATTENTION? AFFECTION? ACKNOWLEDGEMENT?I enjoy all outdoor activities,I enjoy a good walk in any weather, it is nice just to see the changes in the seasons. I enjoy all things really! I like snowmobiles, motorcycles, riding my bike, swimming, hot tubs. fishing, I enjoy taking pictures. What I want is a direct spoken man- If I don't want the same thing -then - I will say something and we both know where we stand? NO /YES?No guessing games, being direct is the best way! Please, and Thank you! I like to have fun and laugh.I usually go with the flow and I have FUN. I like to play. I have my own golf clubs but not my own pool stick. I like darts too. I would like to dance in the living room with you. I am very easy going and usually go with the flow, I find I have fun that way.. I enjoy all types of music "; "The Who" "Kenny Chesney" "The Rolling Stones" "3 Doors Down" "50's,60's,70's" "Usher" "Meatloaf" "Elvis" "Nelly" "; "; " The Supremes" "Journey" my music is all over the place, I enjoy most music***except metal and some of the harder rap.

My faults is I can be overbearing, in a good way! Example is like asking "if you have everything or if you need anything"? Mother hen but working on not treating my partner like my child. Change is good! I often find that I need time to think things through and "reboot" per say! So that words are not said in haste.I do not need someone to support me I have my own income and can support myself and in return I do not want to support you.However I will be your friend and be there for comfort. BUT you also get "ME" I am so worth it- I am - honest, trustworthy, loyal, kind, self sufficient and I do like PDA and I am a classy lady in public.We would not be a match if you are unkind, mean spirit, men with issues and not over past relationship or if you are a daily, alcohol drinker.
