Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Valley Springs, 47 year old

Date someone special from United States. I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley, Raised by a beautiful, talented, strong willed, resourceful single mother who taught me all I needed to know to make it on my own. Moved to the bay area when I was in my latter 20s, married, and raised two beautiful daughters that are now young women making their way in this big world. We are very close, Skype helps us feel closer when we are miles apart. My girls know I am always only a phone call or text away if they ever need anything. I am very proud of their courage, ability, and individuality. When the girls graduated from high school, in 2009, I decided I'd had enough of the bay area life so I moved to New Mexico to be closer to my mother who lived in a little town outside of Albuquerque. In May of 2011 Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer, in January 2012 she lost her battle. Without Mom, there was no reason to stick around New Mexico, so I high tailed it back to California to the green hills and ocean. I plan to live, work, and play in the Calaveras County area but love day trips and traveling. I haven't been much of an outdoorsy type but I look forward to participating in everything the foothills have to offer. Mom loved the outdoors and the foothills. I plan to buy my first Harley after I get settled into my home and get used to all the bugs and lizards (EEK). I have enjoyed much of God's beautiful country from the back of a motorcycle and would accept a ride from a sweet man who knows the road, but sometimes I feel the need for my own wind. On the top of my Bucket List is learning to play the drums, so any drummers that want to give lessons to a sweet girl with a passion for life ... here I am.
If you don't play the drums but sounds like we share some of the same interests please inquire.
I love meeting new people with friendly attitudes and big smiles. If you are extremely handsome that helps alot too (lol)
*** Please do not contact me if you live more than 2 hours driving time out of the area or you don't have a couple recent pictures of yourself on your profile.
