Date women from United States / Alabama / Walnut Grove, 46 year old

Date a woman from United States. Single, Christian, educated, employed. Don't drink/smoke/use drugs - seeking same. A good sense of humor is very important. Compassion and patience goes a long way. Currently I am working on getting in shape. I've lost 70 pounds so far and if you are on the same journey, perhaps we can encourage each other along the way.
I love taking day trips with my camera and seeing what I can capture along the way. I love taking sunset pictures and I am working on perfecting moon shots.
I have two dogs age 11 and 2 who are my "family" . I have a big extended family (four sisters and their families) and when we get together it is a party within itself.
I am looking for someone to get to know, friends first. I am not interested in one night stands or someone who expects "anything" to happen within the first six dates ... ok the first 12 or so .. but you know what I mean. lol I am not that kind of gal.
If I have sparked your interest, please contact me.
Let's be realistic - if you don't live in Northern California, chances are it won't work ... I want someone I can reach out and touch .. literally -- (smile)
