Date women from United States / Alabama / Lillian, 57 year old

Date someone special from Lillian, United States. Summer is here and the time is right for dancing in the street,,,the music is playing,,,,,lets take day trips check out the local festivals. I enjoy farmers markets and flea markets; I like to laugh and have a good sense of humor. I like to entertain with friends, cooking out or dining out,,,,I like just hanging out on the weekends with friends, grilling or cooking a meal and just having a good time.
I work long hours, 12 hour days, but when I am off, I would like to have some fun,
My perfect mate is someone who is gone when work requires it, but when he comes home, we can be together. I am not like a lot of people, in this, I don't need to have my partner home at 5pm every day. I don't need routines, I need space, and enjoy the quality time when we can be together.. I am self sufficient, independent, ok on my own, But it would be really nice to have a partner, because you can't dance alone,.
I am looking for friend, and a partner, someone strong and protective of those he loves,,, kind, generous, respect others. Be confident of your own judgment, but not quick to judge others. A sense of humor is important, you can't take yourself too seriously.
I want to try new things, and go to new and different places, learn a new language, dance.
