Date women from United States / Arizona / Surprise, 71 year old

Date a woman from United States. I a looking for a gentleman who can travel, play, enjoy the outdoors, is adventuresome, and likes to cuddle. I love to laugh, but also have a serious side that reflects a fierce loyalty, independence, and love of my wonderful family. I have been alone for almost 8 years, and I am eager to have a man in my life with whom I can share everyday things. I know there are many years yet to come, and I want to find my soul-mate to enjoy growing old with and to be my best friend.
I grew up in a lovely suburb of Chicago and attended college in Colorado Springs. Prior to moving to Arizona 14 years ago, I lived in several different states before settling in northern Nevada for 25 years (Reno, Incline Village at Lake Tahoe, and Carson City).
I really enjoy all sports, more as a spectator now than when I was younger. I raised 4 sons, and sports have always been an important part of our lives. I try to play golf -- love the exercise and challenge, but I regularly embarrass myself with how bad I am. I love the Phoenix Suns, follow the Cardinals and Diamondbacks, and volunteer and work at a dozen or more baseball games in Surprise during Spring Training. I really enjoy the water: swimming, fishing, and boating. I spend my summers on an alpine lake in northern California, among towering pines with eagles & osprey overhead. I spend the month of January watching the sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico on the beach of Lido Key, Florida. If I couldn't be out-of-doors, I think I would wither away!
Volunteer work is important to me, too. I spend a part of several days a week working with Special Olympics and adaptive sports programs for people with special needs. I really love those kids, and "receive" much more than I 'give".
I am pretty independent, but I would love to have someone special in my life with whom I could be dependent and who could depend on me. When I get bored, I just take my dog, jump in my car and go. I have no problem taking off and driving many hundreds of miles to see my kids, go to the lake, or just get away. On the other hand, I love my home in Sun City Grand and am very satisfied to stay home, read, play cards or watch movies. It would be lovely to share that with someone special.
One of my favorite things is to cook and entertain. I would love to have a man to spoil. I am very social, have a great circle of friends, but it would be so nice to be a part of a couple rather than a single.. I am fun-loving, spontaneous, responsive, affectionate. Sound good? I'd be flattered to hear from you.
