Meet men and women from Alabama, United States. This is not easy, but I will make an attempt. I am looking for an intelligent, witty, funny and a real good friend first. We will see how things go from there. I enjoy cooking, gardening, knitting, reading, and sewing. I'm sure most guys don't care about the knitting and sewing skills!
I have a little cat and she has been great company but it would be nice to have a great conversation over dinner or barbeque with a glass of wine. I live on a small lake and have an awesome deck in the back yard.
I have retired 5 days a week and still do twelve hour shifts on the weekend. The extra money is nice and getting out is good for me.
I am grateful for good health and family. I would like to travel and see new places. Maybe I could ad to this narrative a bit later.

Date people from Alabama, United States. I am a native Arkansan. Currently live in central Arkansas. Among my many blessings are having several friends across the United States and at home - most of whom I have known for 50 plus years. 15-20 of us still get together once a month for dinner and laughter.
The person I feel most comfortable with will have a sense of humor, be laid back, fit easily into any crowd of people. Be able to "dress up" or "dress down" and still be comfortable within himself. I still like learning something new every day...staying green above the ears are things that I would hope that person to enjoy. Will we fit?
