Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Palmer, 61 year old

Date single man from Palmer, United States. Have you ever looked at a piece of wood and appreciated the direction of the grain, the color and durability of it? Considered the possibilities of what it was or could become? I do. Friends call me creative. I enjoy creativity. I pass the time on occasion carving, tinkering and building. I also play the guitar and I enjoy reading on various subjects. Gardening is an interest. I enjoy the smell of flowers and the array of colors.
I am friendly and generally out going. Not prone to pretense, have a great sense of humor and love to laugh. I love to explore new things and places, meet new people. I am a good listener and I try to keep an open mind and will consider other viewpoints. Coffee and good conversation is greatly enjoyed.
As a life-long learner, I tend to work very hard and be responsible but love good fun and good company. I have a quiet strength that draws people to meet for advice and direction. I have been told I am an excellent teacher because I have a lot of patience.
I love animals, especially dogs, and I have a pet bird. I enjoy the outdoors, fishing, walking trails, the water and just soaking in the rays. I try to find the positive in things and life can be so much more positive when experiences are shared with friends.
I like to be a co-operator and seek synergy and balance. I think laughter is very important and should be practiced daily.
I'm looking for that special someone who likes to co-create, who can function in the city and yet still enjoys the outdoors. That special someone that enjoys creativity and color, good conversation, and a fun sense of humor, who can turn a rainy day outside into sunshine with a smile inside. Then we should meet, because we just might enjoy a good laugh over a good cup of coffee, if nothing else.

Meet a woman from Palmer, United States. My kids are raised, and grandkids live far away. I'd like to meet someone local who is close to retiring who likes to fish and enjoy the great Alaska outdoors. Golf would be a plus. I live in palmer and work in wasilla. I love to cook and bake. Chardonnay is my favorite drink. Have a goofy 5 yr old chocolate lab who is my constant companion. Pretty happy, healthy, and the vote's still out on wise. Ready to retire at any time, if I only could buy health insurance at a reasonable rate. Self employed. Lost a close brother to prostate cancer late last year, so now life seems short, tho I have a 90 year old aunt. Who knows? Very monogomous - haven't dated very much, so probably won't be very good at it.
