Date men and women from United States / Alabama / Muscadine, 66 year old

Date people from Alabama, United States. I have retired from the corp world and have re-discovered my first love...my art - my painting. (have added some photos) I am a very visual person and this is my way of expressing my thoughts and dreams.
I am Scots/Irish Sagittarius, I believe strongly in Honesty and Justice and sometimes get in trouble believing everyone else does too. I am Libertarian in my politics and my philosophy.
I'm an Army brat, lived in Germany for 3 and 1/2 years in the '50s, and visited as a Reservist (retired after 27 years).
Would love to go and see the rest of Europe with someone who loves to travel as much as I do. I also want to go "Cruising", have just renewed my passport. Love day trips and sometimes the best places are ones you've already been to. Don't want to spend ALL my time on the road I'm really pretty much of a home body, except for my "Red Hat" outings.
My match will have an adventurous spirit and love to learn new things as well appreciate the old... antiques and estate sales, flea markets and thrift stores. Though I don't buy much, by now I have most of what I want and have built a sweet cottage on 12 acres in the Alabama woods where I paint, read and garden...no lawn...lots of trees and a few chickens - free range eggs! But I love to travel and look, that's that visual thing.
Except for COPD, my health is excellent and I don't have a drawer full of Rx's, I do eat healthy/organic when I can. Due to the Rx's I do take and the limitations of COPD, along with my Scots/Irish heritage, I am now more 'curvy' than most of my life. I have put on some pounds that I struggle with and can't be as active as I used to be.
My life is slower paced now, but I think that's what's nice about retirement, I don't do much multitasking ("A" type stuff) any more and I really can "Stop and Smell the Roses"; I can be more spontaneous now...WOW! the freedom.
