Date women from United States / California / Aromas, 55 year old

Date someone special from Aromas, United States. IРІР‚в„ўm a California Girl who loves to visit the beaches up and down the coast. I also enjoy visiting the incredible wineries that California has to offer, sampling the simple pleasures that tantalize the senses. I'm a light drinker, but I love a good wine.
I grew up in this area and enjoyed boating, water skiing and camping. I enjoy living a healthy lifestyle hitting the trails, walking on the beach, in the mountains or along the rivers whenever possible. I also enjoy quiet evenings out on the town, good food with friends, and great conversation. I love to cook and entertain, but getting my kids to go out to dinner wasn't easy, so I left some things to the experts. My favorite foods are Italian, French and Seafood, but I like most anything and often like to experiment and try out new recipes. Gardening is a passion, I love to landscape and get my hands dirty, but I clean up pretty well. I enjoy the theater, the most memorable would have to be "Tuesday With Morrie", wasn't a dry eye in the house, but I prefer more upbeat shows. I also enjoy most types of music, a time and place for everything. I like to watch movies and a little reality TV about food, fashion, talent or sports.
I grew up on strong moral values and hold everyone around me with utmost respect. Friends would describe me as intelligent and inquisitive, gentle with a soft spoken voice, compassionate, have a kind, caring and loving heart and IРІР‚в„ўm the most genuine person they know. I am honest to a fault, and generous without expecting anything in return. I'm very kind and affectionate and never raise my voice, negativity and nagging are not in my vocabulary. Lesson of the Cherry Blossom "Life is Short, You have to savor life while you can" (author unknown).....I am easy going and don't sweat the small stuff.
I have two wonderful, incredibly talented children living on their own and making their way in life and my family and friends mean the world to me. I'm very accepting of others, if you have children I would show them the same love and respect that I share with my own.
Would you enjoy dancing on a dance floor or in a more intimate setting. Walks along the beach holding hands, driving up the coast to explore little hide away places, watching the sunset and kissing into the night, a nice massage after a long day of work or play, sitting quietly reading a book, snuggling in front of a warm fire, or playfully cooking up some food and fun. How about a symphony or the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra in the park while sitting on a blanket in the grass, the warm sun shining down, relaxing, (a nice glass of wine would go very well here), or a concert to rock the night away. These are some of the things I would love to share with my partner.
I'm a one man woman even when dating. If I were to go on a date with you, I would give you my full attention. I'm taking my time to find the right lifetime partner, so no pressure. I'm looking for that special spark with someone, a best friend to build memories and share life experiences. A partner who will share open honest communication without judgment, share intimacy beyond the physical, and feel comfortable giving space for lifeРІР‚в„ўs changes.
I would love to meet someone that has a good sense of humor, that has similar values and shares similar interests, and who will also share interests of his own. I would like to find in a partner someone who has integrity, who is honest, devoted, patient, genuine, kind, and trust is very important to me. In my book the good guy finishes first. Above all else what matters most is what's in your heart.
My guy would be happy with where he is in life, live life to the fullest, love his family, be a gentleman, show kindness to everyone around him, and be a man of his word, (say what you mean, mean what you say).
