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 am an energetic women who enjoys working out and on weekends relax by taking in some hiking trails with my four legged friend. I am not one to be a couch potato but I do enjoy the simple pleasures of relaxing with a glass of wine and sharing a movie with that special someone. Traveling is my passion so when I am not working hard at my business I am planning my next adventure. Let's start with a cup of coffee and see if we have a connection then take it from there.

    Hello and thank you for taking a peek at my profile. Don't you just love this part? *grinning* .. Telling everyone who you are and what you like to do .. not to mention what you seek. To give you an idea of who I am, I suppose I will begin by saying I am someone who loves life and attempts to make the best of everything. I love the arts including music of all types (okay, I admit I am not a huge fan of rap), catching an exhibit at The High, and even taking in a play from time-to-time. I rarely watch television (frequently tuned into a music channel) and am more likely to pick up a book rather than sit in front of the television.As much as I truly appreciate the beauty of the mountains, I adore the beach. You are much more likely to find me on vacation with sand/sun. For me, sand and sun are therapeutic and to be enjoyed. I am not a barfly. That does not mean I do not enjoying going out and meeting friends for a glass of good wine, just that I am not going to be out all night and certainly not going home with anyone. An evening spent with friends or at home snuggling with someone special and enjoying a movie is a fabulous way to end the day. Are you someone who knows that it takes two to make a relationship and want to be crazy about someone, just as they are wild about you? Are you someone who is not into games; but is honest, open and knows that communication and honesty are essential in any relationship? Do you want for your mate to have the same goals and values, a Godly person .. all the while knowing that does not mean you have got to be joined at the hip? *smiling* .. If you are nodding your head and agree with me, then we have a good start. I want to know the inner you in addition to enjoying fun and adventure with you. Together we can decide what that will be.
