Date men and women from United States / Alabama / Clayton, 63 year old

Date people from United States. I have a good life... am in a good place. The only thing that could make it better is you... well, that, and "maybe" winning the lottery!
I'm an uncomplicated gal, with uncomplicated needs... integrity, respect, fun, friendship, and mutual attraction. Widowed since 2005, I'd like to share the magic again. Dating is part of the journey, but ultimately, I'd like to be in a committed relationship again - it's where I know I'm at my best. I miss loving, and being loved in return... spoiling, and being spoiled. I've been alone long enough, and am ready to fully appreciate a wonderful guy who also appreciates me.
I'm looking for an equal partner... You're not afraid to say what's on your mind, and don't hold things in. Tell it like it is, and I'll do the same. I like knowing what you think and your opinions, and if we disagree, well, that's OK, too. You're honest, affectionate, caring, humorous, and well-mannered. Having fun and being at ease in each others company rank near the top in order of importance.
I'm healthy, open, active and energetic, but also love quiet time. Those who know me describe me as a sweetheart, attractive, loving, caring and fun to be with. I like who I am... always honest, intelligent, well-traveled, selective (I won't settle, but then, neither will you), very affectionate, playful, sometimes serious, sometimes intense, independent, financially secure, with a good life and bent sense of humor... read, irreverent, off-the-wall. I'm comfortable in any setting... have jeans... a little black dress... love both, and can be ready to go in an hour.
My interests are many... I like gardening, take pride in my home, and it shows. I like to think of myself as handy, but to be honest, that is purely self-delusion! LOL I appreciate great food, fine wine, almost all music, travel, being outdoors, cooking and entertaining; anything on, in or near water, wildly funny and/or interesting movies; reading, home improvement projects, the feel of warm sand beneath my feet, and volunteering.
A wonderful family and a circle of close, long-time friends are valued above all else. My two children are grown, independent, married, with families of their own, and we are very close. They live in the area, and we get together often.
All that's missing is you.
