Date women from United States / Alabama / Mobile, 69 year old

Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. Before going any further let me state one thing - I am usually the one behind the camera taking the photos of everyone else, or where we have been, so finding any photos of myself is like trying to find a needle in the proverbial haystack.
I am the proud mother of four beautiful daughters, mother-in-law to four sons, have eight grandchildren ranging in age from 25 down to eight years, and great-grandmother of two.
I am a survivor. Born during WWll in a Royal Navy town, so I have been bombed and shot at. Had two of the three major forms of polio before I was 10-years-old. Widowed twice, the first time at the age of 26, and then recently again after 39 years with my last love, who always told me he hadn't promised me a rose garden, but that is exactly what he delivered.
Raised and educated in Europe, which probably explains my sense of humor (dry, wry, with an appreciation for the double entendre!) and frequently non PC!!
Although raised in England, I have also lived in Canada and throughout the USA, from Florida to Michigan, out to Washington State (fantastic scenery and food), also across the southwest as far as New Mexico(again beautiful), and don't forget historic Savannah, GA., and Hilton Head. Not surprisingly I really do not know where home is anymore, or even what continent it is on, but I am hoping to find it in the next couple of years. A couple of things I do know: 1) is that home is close to the beach and the ocean, they have been my salve in bad times and my joy in the good times, and 2) it contains a special someone to share life with.
Please do not write that you know that somewhere I am out there, the woman who has had enough of the life she is living and wants something completely different, and then pass me by. Adventure is nothing without risk.
I have no wish to replace someone else's lost love, or have them try to replace mine - neither would be possible or fair. I need a man who is looking for a fresh start, can understand the words to the song "I need a man with a slow hand." A man who is willing to take a chance on sharing a future. Maybe it will happen, who knows, but without looking and taking that initial chance it never will.
My fantasy bucket list includes traveling to Egypt to see the Valley of the Kings, cruising the Greek Isles, visiting Tahiti, touring the Tuscan region of Italy on a motor scooter, driving the corniche in southern France/Monte Carlo in a sports car, and spending about two months cruising the canals from Amsterdam, through Holland, into the heart of Paris, and yes that last is possible if you don;t mind cruising part of it about 40 feet up on a viaduct. We must not forget the hot air balloon ride through the Champagne region of France - I know, most people go for that trip in the Loire Valley, but I really don't care for red wine, or rather it doesn't care too much for me - oh yes! it should involve a visit for tastings at a winery!! LOL
The most important part of that list, and the only part that is not strictly fantasy - finding a soul mate to enjoy it all with, a gentleman with an appreciation for the finer things in life, and the not so fine, but who still enjoys all that life has to offer.
This gentleman will also be down to earth enough to enjoy football games, watching the PGA matches, NASCAR, Olympics (summer and winter) and spending time with family - the latter being the most important. Walks on the beach, sunsets and wine, and cuddling just because we can, on the sofa or where ever, on a rainy afternoon, with or without that good book.
Drama is best when enacted on a stage for our enjoyment.
"We" has a better ring to it than " I", and finally,
if you haven't already had your eyes glaze over with boredom add avid reader to my sins!!
If I wink or email you, and you do not feel an instant rapport, please have the common courtesy to at least send a "no thank you." reply - just being ignored is demeaning and bad manners. Thank you.
