Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Whittier, 74 year old

Date people from United States. I would like to meet someone that together we compliment and bring out the best in each other.
I have many interests and am never bored. I would like to meet a man with some similar interests, and also have hobbies, talents, or other interests of his own or to share.
I am a positive, happy and independant woman. I am health concious and workout at the gym at least 2 times a week. I enjoy keeping as physically fit as possible.
I am artistic, musical, I enjoy learning and take classes on occassion. Sometimes attempt to teach myself to play the piano.
I like to cook. It's fun to cook together.
I have grand children and a couple of great grand children.
My favorite music: Oldies, Elvis, Lanza, Bocelli, Il Divo, Roy Orbison's Country album, Big Band, some Opera, most all music.
I have been on several cruises. Enjoy traveling, the adventure of visiting new places, etc. Alaska was great! and cold. This year I plan to go to Italy.
Family is important to me and family get-togethers/functions on occassion. I think that 'time flies whether you are having fun or not'!

Meet a woman from United States. I am a people-oriented individual. I am considered to have a pretty funny sense of humor (don't know how one would get through this world without one). I tend to be quiet and am a good listener. I do not consider myself very savvy politically (I am often surprised by hearing about corrupt individuals or situations) Family is very important to me. My sister, who lives in Portland, Oregon, is probably my best friend and travel companion. I am open, however, to finding one who could also fulfill this position.
