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!

    Woman. 53 years old. Zodiac sign: Capricorn.

    Looking for: man. In age: 50-60

    I’m a single, working gal in search of a good man who likes adventure, hiking, camping, baseball games, movies, holding hands, quiet nights at home and trying new things together. Mt. I like dancing, exploring new cities, cooking for friends and family, and gardening. I love getting lost in a good book, sitting by a fire, having the occasional pop-corn dinner in front of a DVD movie. Friends and family are really important to me. I have a teenager daughter who lives in L.A. and so I am in the valley two times a week visiting her.I'd consider myself lucky to find a man who is honest, kind, curious, who cares for his fellow man, and has a sense of humor. I am a writer, so any partner of mine will have to put up with my shutting myself away for parts of the day--not weekends or evenings though! My dream is to publish a book a collection of short stories, to have a good friends and family close by, and spend as much time outside with mother nature as I can afford to.

    Woman. 52 years old. Zodiac sign: Leo.

    Looking for: man. In age: 49-59

    Thought I'd give this another try. I'm just a happy, easy-going woman who is honest, genuine and loyal who is looking for the same to share the next chapter of my life with. Not going to write all about myself here because I believe it's much more personable and "real" to meet in person and find out if there is chemistry and learn if we have common interests. if you'd be interested in learning more about me, don't be shy and send me a message. PS: I only respond to those with a picture....I like to see who I am conversing with! :)

    Looking for: man. In age: 48-58

    Enjoy fitness training, cycling, and healthy food choices. Wine and chocolate are considered healthy in my book! Love to cook, trying new recipes for that special someone.Enjoy going to sporting events but honestly I'm more of a "people watcher". Love the fall season and the many outdoor activities that happen this time if year. Divorced since ***after a 23 year marriage. I am excited about the opportunity to meet someone special and share good times and conversation! Have written longer profiles but it's more interesting to learn about each other over time.Send me a message if you would like to learn more. Very relaxed and nice conversation is all that is necessary.. Maybe a cool beverage as well!
