I'm currently seeing someone I met at this site, so far so good... Best of luck in your search.

I am retired, active, creative, involved, short, spontaneous, willing to try new things, a nature lover, happy with my life and healthy.

I am an incredibly fun loving “Nanny” to 2 adorable granddaughters who remind me to always live with my heart and mind open.

I take an active role in several community groups and organizations.

I want to travel here and abroad, share experiences and adventures, learn to dance, have a garden again, spend more time in the snow, hike Mt. Pisgah more often, laugh till I cry, spend summer evenings outdoors with good company and winter nights snug by the fire.

I want a partner comfortable with negotiating the inevitable challenges of life in a positive manner, seeking solutions not blame.

I want a loving, respectful, adult relationship with shared interests, intimacy, good communication and common goals. I want room to try new things, fail on occasion and thrive, all in a supportive environment. I want a partner who is emotionally available in good times and bad. I want to reach my potential, I want to help you reach yours.

I want you to be part of this journey if you are seeking similar things.

I am re-imagining myself to become the person I was meant to be.

My time with my grandgirls allows me to “parent” again with a broader perspective.

Volunteer commitments stretch my capabilities in leadership, creative problem solving and communication. I try to remind myself these growth opportunities are a gift when I’m feeling overwhelmed.

A desire for long term health keeps me walking, hiking, biking, running, doing yoga or something active most days of the week. I eat a mainly vegetable based diet but am not opposed to meat consumption on occasion.

I read when I can, fiction to explore the human condition and non-fiction to expand my database.

I quilt regularly, mostly smaller items to donate to local auctions and organizations.

I attend way too many meetings.
