Date women from United States / California / Alameda, 60 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Good news bad news...
I am not forty...not even fifty dont even look those ages any more....the good news is I am very active and healthy and everything on me is God given!
I am looking for someone who is employed and at least in Northern California so if you are not please dont respond..I hate saying no thanks.! So if you read this far then maybe you will like the rest better.
Now that all that is out of the way...
That said, let me tell you that I love to be outdoors and like to camp and hike. I LOVE having parties and having friends over. My original degree was in Home Economics so love to cook with friends and do lots of social things. I almost never meet a stranger.
I am a very direct communicator and honest...so I will say I am looking for my hero who can provide a safe protective environment where I can be vulnerable and still be safe.
I have been in the bay area only one year, have a number of friends already but no significant other. I have been married for a total of 27 years and hope to have another opportunity for the second part of my life to have a more positive experience. So if you are interested in being my hero lets open a discussion. :)

Meet someone special from California, United States. IРІР‚в„ўm hoping to meet someone who is serious about developing a true friendship as well as a great romance. This person should be intelligent, creative, open-minded, and eager to travel. He should also be honest and direct and feel comfortable communicating his thoughts and feelings. Spontaneity is valued along with a desire to explore nature by hiking, biking, boating, and discovering interesting places.
IРІР‚в„ўm a person with a lot of energy and determination; however, I also cherish quiet times spent simply enjoying someone elseРІР‚в„ўs company. I was raised with the belief that my life can make a difference in the lives of others, so I have put a great deal of energy into teaching. IРІР‚в„ўve also raised three great kids of my own to become independent, productive adults! At this point in my life, itРІР‚в„ўs time to put some of my energy into cultivating a unique relationship with a special person. Please contact me if you are searching for a similar outcome! No winks, please.
Note: School's out for the summer! I'm in Australia visiting my daughter (Gold Coast in Queensland) and sister (Perth), but I'll resume Match correspondence in mid August. Here's to great adventures wherever they lead any of us!
