Date women from United States / Alabama / Pleasant Grove, 69 year old

Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. The pictures in blue were taken 2 17 10 (I had forgotten to reset the date on the camera.) The other pictures are recent. I am in good health, do not smoke, do drugs or drink.
I like to surf the web, play video games on the web, watch NCIS, CSI, Bones, Mentalist, news, how things are made, documentaries. I am curious about a lot of things. I like to know how things work, how things are built. I like antique cars, car shows, target shooting.
I would rather be outside working in the yard than doing housework or homework. I am raising 2 grandchildren who teach me something new almost every day.
I like people, and I like to observe people and their actions. I try to not judge people or gossip. I am considered a good listener. I am interested in coffee and conversation. I like to laugh.
Once upon a time I was a redhead, a runner, a bodybuilder- but Father Time has had a way to take care of some of that over the past few years. He has replaced some of the red with white, and added some fluffy to my middle. God has also given me more patience and understanding.
Please post a recent photo so I can see who I am talking to when we correspond. Who knows?
We may become good friends or possibly more. I have shown you mine, now show me yours. No photo - no response from me.
My family is very important to me. We get together to celebrate birthdays, holidays, any joyous occasion, or just to be together.
I am looking for someone who is about my age, who is fun to talk to and be with, someone who shares some of the same interests. Friendship, companionship, someone who has a somewhat dry sense of humor like me.

Meet a woman from Alabama, United States. I am an independent, strong willed ( almost to the point of being stubborn) mature lady who likes a man who enjoys good conversation,likes to laugh and loves life. although I enjoy and appreciate the beautiful things in life, I believe that often the most simple things offer the most happiness. After all, what is happiness if not for beauty, grace, love joy, and contentment? Okay, so now you know a little about me (there's lot's more, you know) If you,re someone who thinks we could have some common interests and maybe begin a friendship, I would like to hear from you.
