I am a healthy, happy individual who likes being where I am in life. I recently picked up my household and moved across country to be closer to family who live in a city nearby. My husband of 30 years passed away 5 years ago and I decided it was time to get on with life. I have 4 dogs sharing my space (3 of them rescues). I am well-educated, have friends that I have kept for over 35 years and continue to make new ones. I enjoy new experiences and will try most anything once (most recently skydiving).

I am retired and enjoying it but would like to find someone to share some activities while still having individual time. I am interested in volunteering with local groups to keep active. I like cardio and weight exercise. I am financially secure and want to travel and enjoy seeing new places and people.

listening and empathising, renovating, interior design and decorating, gardening flowers, vegetables and herbs used in cooking for friends and family.

I'm a good listener, like to have fun, am easygoing, more comfortable in jeans but clean up well. People generally think I'm younger than I am.

My favorite books are the last three I have read--I have a Kindle and read a lot. I like most ethnic food--the spicier the better. I enjoy most music except hard rock and rap. I play piano and a few other instruments for my own amusement.

My evolving personal philosophy... to what color to paint the kitchen.

At home enjoying a book, tv, dogs or going out with friends for a nice meal, a live show or ? Would like to have someone of like mind to cuddle up with and watch a dvd.

Maybe later when I know you better

You want to make a new friend and take a chance on where it may lead.
