Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Oro Valley, 65 year old

Date a woman from Oro Valley, United States. OK, I've tried this before and had varied success. I gave it up for a few years, but it isn't very easy to meet new people here in Tucson, unless you have a lot of money or play a lot of golf. Maybe this time will be the charm.
One thing that is not easy for me is to talk about myself--there's just so much to say--: ) OK, if you've gotten past that part, you are really someone that I'd like to talk to more. Here's a little about me.
I am a very young 64 years old. I have spent more than 10 years single, after being married for more than 30 years. I have had a few serious relationships, but nothing lasting, because of job committments, moves, time, or just a mutual lack of interest. I now have more time to spend with someone and hope to find you. I have two grown children and some wonderful grandchildren. I have had a very successful career in Education, and miss the daily interaction with lots of people. I love animals and have managed to control myself to just having one dog, but have fostered other animals in the past.
I am looking for a best friend who wants to spend some time getting to know each other. I am a very positive person, with a great sense of humor who likes to live life. I especially like the outdoors, but am just as happy at dinner at a great restaurant, or getting away for the weekend to California wine country, or the desert.
Recently, I decided to take a trip to Hawaii. Instead of going it alone, I asked some friends of mine if they were interested in coming along. I had a great time, but I was lonely too. It really made me realize how much I have to offer to someone, and how much I really want to find someone who wants to spend time with me.
I am not trying to Blog, but it will be interesting to see, if you really are out there for me.

Meet someone special from Oro Valley, United States. I'm an intelligent and outgoing woman with a down to earth personality who likes laughing until my sides hurt, spending a beautiful day on the golf course, and exploring new and old places.
Three years ago, I lost my husband of 41 years to cancer. I didn't know if I'd ever be ready to date again, but here I am. It just goes to show you that life is full of changes and surprises.
What am I looking for? I am interested in a man who likes to travel, can play a fun game of golf, enjoys playing cards, or listening to music. Someone who loves to cook, sharing the fun in the kitchen, or enjoys an evening out.
The bottom line is I would love to share my life with someone who likes being part of a team with each person contributing a part of themselves. Also, someone who enjoys spending time with friends, laughing and joking about what ever the subject might be without taking themselves too seriously.
I love beaches, deserts, mountains and cities. In other words, life is to be explored. What adventure is around the corner? I don't know but want to find out what that might be.
