Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Avondale, 70 year old

Date a soulmate from Arizona, United States. I am a successful, published author and retired Mesa Plant Manager for the Arizona Republic. I own a lake-front home in Phoenix and two creek-side cabins in Payson. Yep, I Ioves da water. I own everything I have outright. I was raised with horses and love animals. I have no tolerance for those who abuse them. I believe that life is too short not to share it. In my book, I stated that happiness shared is doubled and sadness shared is halved when you’re with someone you love. I am looking for my last best friend and partner. I know what I'm looking for and will not settle for less. She is someone who is considerate and this would be the number one prerequisite. She is attractive and loves to share. She believes in the Lord. She is as comfortable outdoors as she is indoors. She has a zest for life and a good since of humor. She takes care of herself and her home. I would hope that she loves dogs. I only have one. Her name is Annie. She is a super loving little dachshund that has gone blind but Annie still rules. She has her own Seeing Eye guy….ME!
I love my creature comforts. However, I love the outdoors equally. I am not a "clingy" person. I need some time of my own and I will respect her need for same. I will do everything within my power to keep our lives interesting. I like to cook and bar-b-q. I prefer denims and shorts but will bite the bullet and don a suit and tie with a little persuasion. I am very organized, clean and particular about my appearance and home. Photo's are all within the past year
So how would my friends describe me? #1 A loyal friend, most likely for life. #2 Pretty much from the old school, being passionate about my honor, my word, my country, my self respect and my religious beliefs. #3 One who does not always agree with popular wisdom. #4 A homebody. #5 Virtuous, artistic, fit, honest, handsome, strong, successful and….extremely humble! LOL.

Meet men and women from Arizona, United States. I spend 3 months out of the year in the U.S. visiting my 2 lovely daughters and their families. I would love to meet a gentleman that adds some spice to my stay. I love to smoke cigarettes, drink coffee, crossword puzzles and needlework. But it sure would be better sharing these with someone who is in tune with me on a different level. If I really like you, I may even read your cards for you.
