Date women from United States / Alabama / Danville, 56 year old

Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. I am a kind, fun loving, smart woman who is looking for someone who respects and enjoys these qualities about me. I can be spontaneous, very loyal, inquisitive, intellectual and comfortable in all social situations. I love to dress up and I also love jeans, a tee shirt and my favorite pair of boots or sneakers. I love fun drives to sunny destinations, all things tied to the sea and have a passion for reading and writing poetry. I am sensitive and sweet, always give money to people in need on the streets and I love to laugh at myself and silly jokes. My match would share similar qualities, be kind, love the outdoors, love to laugh and have fun, be spontaneous, have a consciousness about other people, be attracted to my spirit. I was born and raised on the "shore" in New Jersey", and have been blessed to live in many places, California, Colorado and Hawaii. I love and embrace the " Aloha "spirit of Hawaii. It calls to me. One of my favorite novels is Michenor's Hawaii. Through the years, travel has enabled me to see and experience many diverse cultures...riding in a Sampan in Hong Kong and the spectacular views from Victoria's Peak, the gourgeous cathedral in Toledo, Spain, the Forum, The Spanish Steps, St. Peter's in Rome, Dazio and the generous people who opened their homes to us in hospitality, walking the ruins of Pompei, David in Florence, Rembrandt's "Nightwatch" in Amsterdam, to name just a few. My two children are my pride and joy, my son ,a recent graduate of Regis University in Denver and my daughter ,a junior at UCLA. I savor any time spent in their company and always welcome the chance to visit them and be a part of their lives. I am a nurse by trade, though I've been lucky to be a stay at home mom during their formative years. Besides my children, I am most proud of my military service as a Navy Nurse from 1978-1982. I believe it has given me a deeper sense of pride in my country and an inherent and vast respect for those who serve. It remains a very crucial part of what I am today, a fun, compassionate, respectful, curious, loyal woman and mother. I am looking for someone to share in the next piece of my journey, a friend or companion, a shoulder to lean on, a soft place to fall when I need it, laughter, spontaniety , picnics, the sharing of dreams and daydreams, the co-mingling of family and friends, holidays, long walks at sunset, picnics, a shared bottle of wine and dinner, candlelight, fireflies, music and destinations to anywhere and everywhere, quiet times of reading and talk about everything, anything, silly jokes that evolve between two people as they get to know one another, and the warmth of the simple act of holding each other's hands... To conclude, I believe in fate, the infinite wisdom of God and that all things are possible in between.

Meet a woman from Alabama, United States. Dear You who wants the Readers Digest stream of consciousness version of me, me in a nutshell, twenty words or less kind of thing (actually...oh...sorry...just can't do it in twenty words or less):
Who/what I am:
enthusiastic, energetic, sparky never a dull moment sort of woman. Which is NOT to say I like me some drama. At all. Do not. Two thumbs down. Slightly quirky, reader of New Yorker, books on food and cooking, historical fiction and chick lit (no, not the gum). Friends would say that I am intelligent, articulate, affectionate, witty, interesting, well-rounded, passionate, sensual, honest and very loyal. Equally comfy being both down to earth and sophisticated (sometimes at the same time!).Fan of pretty much everything that takes a bit of digging on your part to find out (or you can just look to the left). Ok, ok...here's a hint. I confess to being a foodie. I am equally enthusiastic about eating and cooking, but am not a foodie snob. I just like to cook, try new things out and make my house smell like heaven on a plate. The best part of the whole thing is sitting down after sweating it out over the stove/oven/pastry marble and sharing it all with special people. Food metaphor for me: Sweet and Salty.
So, here's the part about YOU:
First, you need to be looking for me. I am not just any gal, so if you are generically female fishing, keep on going...
Then who/what YOU are:
Want fun, silliness and seriousness in equal measure, adventure, enthusiasm, passion. A grown up man. Straightforward, no funny business...Ok, maybe SOME funny business; who doesn't like to laugh? Serious bonus points and baked goods (among other things) if you can make me laugh. Up for adventures; both ridiculous and sublime. Honest, heartfelt communication a must. Compassion for others and handiness helpful. Trustworthy-you are a man of your word. Patience good. Boy Scout training not necessary.
Go ahead: nudge, nudge! Drop me a line- would love to hear from you! Winks not preferred, but if it's all you can muster at this point, I'll respond. Unless I think you're a scammer. Just sayin'.
