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

Date people from United States. After reading a lot of well-written profile introductions (and some not so much, like the one I previously had on here), I'm back for a re-write. Which means that I have to talk about myself, something I don't find particularly interesting (I much prefer hearing what the other person has to say). But looks like some sort of disclosure is required to make this work, so here goes.
For starters I love life and many of the joys of being in the world, such as being with my children (grown), taking photographs, singing, caring for my cat, dog and 2 Betta fish, going out with friends, reading, eating out or grilling a steak, worshiping God wherever he may be found (this is not an inclusive list, by any means).
As an undergrad at LSU I got a BA in music (Voice). Much later I completed an MFA in creative writing. Over the years I have traveled in Europe, Brazil, Mexico, as well as a number of places in our good old USA. One of these days would like to visit the British Isles (my ancestors are mostly from Ireland and Scotland); also Japan seems to be a fascinating country and a wonderful culture to explore.
As mentioned above, my children are grown (no grandchildren yet) and live in Seattle and Baton Rouge. A good part of my adult life was spent in Louisiana and I go back there often. However, I was born and grew up right here in Alabama, the true state of my heart (that is, I love it here). There are a few more details I could add, but like I said, this is not my favorite thing to do; so hopefully this will be enough to connect with somebody out there who is also online looking for a possible soul-mate (OK, I'm a romantic, can't help it) or maybe just looking for someone who wants to go out and share in some fun experiences.

Meet a woman from United States. My friends would describe me as having a 'warped' sense of humor. They are probably right. Siting on my deck before daylight, listening to the sounds of the morning and sipping on a large cup of coffee make smile and feel happy. Children and seniors make me laugh out loud at times because they are completely uninhibited. I am not a deep and highly educated woman, I am just who I am. It would be nice to fine a man secure enough to want the challenge to discover who I am and let me discover who he is and who he want to be.

Date someone special from United States. I.I like the outdoors, enjoy working in my yard and playing with my dog. I read a lot, mostly mysteries, romance, historical and some political. Retired auditor, tend to be a bit of a perfectionist at some things, not a real tech person, I find my self lucky if I can get my computer hooked back up and get a cell programmed. My favorite tv programs mostly cop shows, like Criminal Minds, Glades, CSI's, Closer, what can I say I like the technology and love to try and figure out who did it and why.
I am extremely friendly, enjoy laughing, not a shopper, love coffee, actually am addicted to it.
I like mornings, sitting on my front porch w/coffee and my little dog and watching the sun come up and a new day start. I tend to use the internet for news.
My home is decorated like the ocean colors, I love to walk on the beach, snorkel, look for sea shells, just breathing the fresh air. This year I planted a garden, considering the crazy weather it is doing very good, so will plant another for the Winter. There was a time when I liked Movies, but there just aren't than many out that even interests me. My favorite food is Italian, Chinese and pizza. In the winter I like to pop some corn and sit and watch a movie or read a book.
At my age I never considered that I would still be single but I am,. It gets very lonely looking across the table and having no one to discuss things with, cook with or just sharing things. I hope to find someone to walk those final steps with, laugh and enjoy what may come.
I have found that men look for different things in women. I hope the person will have a good personality, loyal, honest, willing to discuss subjects, enjoy reading, watching sports, like football, baseball, golf. He needs to be an animal lover, especially dog lover, Christian, please not judgmental. .
