I am normal. I love to laugh and I enjoy this life. I am happy and think it would be nice to find someone to share all that life has left to offer.

Meet a soulmate from Alaska, United States. This is new for me and I'm just looking for some casual fun to start with. I want to meet interesting people who can have intelligent conversations and to have some new experiences.
I'm mostly retired and am a snowbird, spending winters in NW GA and the summers in Alaska, which has been home for my adult life. I enjoy travel and have been to most of the states and a number of other countries. I also enjoy the outdoors, esp. day hiking and canoeing. I am an on again/off again runner and a casual marathoner. I enjoy running when I'm in AK, but tend to slack off in winter. I'm also an avid reader and am in a bookclub in both places. I find Broadway shows very entertaining.
I worked in health care and do some volunteer work, but shouldwant to do more.
My husband died of cancer 9 years ago and I have a terrific adult daughter who is about to move to NC for more grad school.
I just noticed that I have lots of photos, but not many of me. I'll have to work on that.

Date a woman from Alaska, United States. I am a pretty quiet person until I get to know you; have a wicked sense of humor; laugh out loud; I work hard; have a good job; love to fish; would really love to go moose hunting; like road trips; grew up on a farm in Minnesota riding horses and doing a lot of fun stuff, lived in California for a while and came to Alaska after talking about it since I was about 12. Am very low maintenance, have been on my own for a long time but suspect it might be nice to have someone who would listen to my thoughts and theories about life and could teach me how to use a flyrod.
Looking for someone who is willing to let me tag along on adventures, will eat the cookies I love to bake, and isn't looking for a 24/7 togetherness commitment.

Meet someone special from United States. Protective of my friends and family. Can't abide liers or thieves, so honesty is very important to me. Cute animal or baby pictures make me smile. Am proud of being able to support myself. Queit social life. Enjoy summers and spending time with friends. I love to be in the kitchen, cooking and entertaining friends. According to my friends, this is something I do well. I have traveled to several countries and love learning about the history of those places. Exploring new places is something I enjoy. The flight part of getting there may not be my favorite part of that exploration but the adventure is worth the flight.
I am grateful for my family, my dog, my good friends, my home and my job.
I am looking for someone who I can have meaningful conversation with but not always serious and can even sit and not say anything without feeling uncomfortable. I have a large kitchen with plenty of room for 2 people to spend time together fixing a nice meal. Cuddles on the couch.
I would hope to find someone who thinks about his partner's wishes as much as his own and wants to make her feel loved.
Ultimately, I hope to find someone to spend the rest of my life with.

Date a soulmate from United States. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.”-Mark Twain
I would love to share conversation, laughs and travel with someone. Being open to other peoples and cultures is a passion, and being a life-long learner is a joy. I cheer for the underdog and advocate for social justice.
What young children say and listening to John Stewart and Stephen Colbert are what make me laugh.
I am looking for someone who allows one to flourish in his/her own way, is encouraging, caring, humorous and willing to traipse around the world with me every now and then! Living with joy in the everyday moments of life is often the most rewarding.

Meet a woman from United States. I am a happy and independent woman looking for someone to have fun and relax with. By that, I mean---sharing meals, movies, conversations, travels, romance, and a relationship if it develops into one.
I have lived in Alaska for over 30 years and have been a fisherwoman, a teacher and now I'm a receptionist for a real estate firm.
I can clean fish with the best yet, I enjoy being a woman. I love to dress up, to smell good and to have my hair done.
People who know me say that I am attractive, warm, funny in a sarcastic/dry-sense of humor style, generous and loving.
I believe in the good old fashioned values of honesty, respect, kindness, hard-working yet able to relax.
I like to laugh and to play and I hope you do, too.

. Someone that wants to have fun and doesn't take themselves or others too seriously. We are a military family and it would be nice to find someone who understands that too. I pretty much like to do just about anything. My job helps me to give back to the community and I think that it would be nice to find someone who finds that important.

. I am working foq non-profit organization and do many interesting project for international friendship between US and Russia. I an a good for longtime term friend. But better to meet me and see what kind of I am in your mind!

. I'm retired from the State of Alaska. I like to work part time when I find an interest. I ride a Trike Motor Cycle that I just bought. I love it. I enjoy 4 wheelers. I like dancing to Country and Oldies music. I also like to sit around and listen to music, or just the rain. I like to watch the snow fall and get out in it when it first starts, than I want to leave to warmer weather. I've been in the cold to long now. I travel around Alaska for dog shows. Once in a while I leave State for a show. I like to travel when possible.
I'd like to meet someone to talk with, be friends first and see where it leads. I think of myself as a nice person, I have some nice friends and would like to meet more friends.

. I can be a social person, but keep close to home. What makes me laugh? A good comedy, watching Craig Fergison at night. I tend to be a night owl, but often get up very early. What makes me smile? A sunny day, pretty flowers, and the smiles on my children and grand children. Also a friendly or loving gesture. I do not have much of a social life, I am a home body.

. The people I've worked with say I look like the quiet, shy, libraian type (and not my age); rather unassuming and invisible, until I get off work. Then they're surprised by my sense of humor, pool playing abliities, dance moves and general trivia knowledge (we usually win). I have a professional demeanor when needed, but still have a competitive nature and look forward to the outdoors - camping, fishing, hiking, yard work - but I do prefer indoor plumbing, and I like to travel and see new places - foreign and domestic. I'm not "extreme" - ok, I jumped out of an airplane at 13000 feet, got certified in scuba in Alaska, rode and camped on a 5 day cattle drive (and wrestled the calves for tagging and shots), have a Harley, and lived in a war zone for 4 out of the last 6 years - but generally, I'm just a regular person - with a kayak, golf clubs (that I take on walks), bowling ball and cue stick - looking for an honest, intelligent, imaginative, rest-of-my-lifetime partner/companion/friend/love, to share life experiences and whatever comes along but still be your own person. Don't worry. I won't ask you to do anything you don't want to.....except maybe dance (if you don't already know how). I like PB&Js (strawberry and prefer crunchy); I drive a stick (and have since I was 14); and I like being out on the water - from a kayak to travel cruises and I don't get sea sick on really rough fishing charters (so far). You never know where life may lead you unless you get out there and live it - Summer in Alaska (24 hour daylight). Winter in Texas, Spring and Fall.....where ever. Care to try it? Step outside your comfort zone. I do.
I'm an everyday person, but not ready for the rocking chair, (with a combination of Texas grit and understanding of southern hospitality and now, Alaska determination against the elements), living an everyday life, but I would like to find that someone who helps make it special. Emailing isn't a problem - it shows you're willing to put some time into your search and it requires some thought. Intelligence is a turn-on.
Thanks for stopping by - Good luck with your search.
