Date women from United States / California / Belmont Shore, 61 year old

Date a woman from United States. My top three favorite evenings would be one of the following...if you can think of something else let me know!
1. Creating a welcoming setting outside with a beautiful table and flowers, great music that makes you want to dance (sometimes you do), sharing good food and wine, conversation and laughter with friends...maybe some dice, cards or bacci.
2. Spending a quiet evening outside one on one, cooking a meal together, chit chatting about everything from "The State of the Nation" to "Gee, wonder what Charlie Sheen is up to" with some kisses, lots of kisses, slow dances, and wild and crazy ones.
3. Having alone time camped out in my bedroom with magazines, books, doggie and "Housewives from Hell" on the TV...sorry, but a guilty pleasure of mine.
I can be chatty and charming and can talk to almost anyone but probably don't do well with being bored but would never let that show. In other words, you can dress me up and take me anywhere!
I can be strong, independent, totally self reliant and in charge, but am still a woman who likes to be loved on, feel protected and know that my guy can take care of me when need be. In many ways I am a girly girl...love my fashion, hair, makeup and girlfriend time but you can also find me on the other end of a hammer or paint brush.
I am a planner and an organizer but can "plan to be spontaneous" if you can believe that. While I have opinions about many things, I'm pretty middle of the road with the exception of people who are far, far to the right or left, narrow minded, petty, prejudiced or unethical.
Good conversation, fun banter, and laughter are the keys to me heart. I love the exchange of ideas, the spoken and written word, problem solving, probing life's mysteries and laughing at it's ironies with my wicked and sometimes sarcastic sense of humor.
I am funny and fun, tender hearted, kind and generous. I 'm attractive, (ok, that's where the makeup and hair comes into play) passionate and enthusiastic.. Oh, did I mention I can also sometimes be a handful. My intentions are to be honest and thruthful and I have a stong sense of ethics and fairness. I try to be a good friend and like to think I'm a " soft place to fall" for those I love and am learning to stop giving advice and just listen more. I'm a great hostess and totally believe that "The Love is in the Details."
My disclaimer would be that I don't qualify for sainthood...on any given day I can be none of the above but I will own it.
I like golfing, reading, writing, decorating, remodeling, music, dancing, more dancing, cooking (when not required), good wine, gourmet food, MacDonalds french fries and fish filet every once in a while, my flowers, working out...OK, I hate it but I do it...concerts, movies, fashion, shopping, playing games, going out or staying in, Uptown or Downtown, dressing to the 9's or my favorite pair of jeans, my hair curly crazy or straight...I would not like having to do any one of the above 24/7...kissing, lots of kissing, a little soul connection, crazy times, quiet times and alone times.
For all you really active guys out there, I don't hike..I walk. Hiking requires a sherpa and he would never get my luggage up that mountain!
I have been a school teacher, workshop leader and voiceover actor and recently did a stint in the restuarant world managing and event plannning.
I am looking for one last love of my life to share the ride with. Looking for a man who is energetic, fun, plays well with others, has a great sense of humor, has the ability to take charge but does't need to be in charge, intelligent, attractive, secure (we all have our insecurities), positive, successful and most importantly has a kind and generous heart. A man who gets the importance of "keepiing the fires burning", the communication going and making the fun happen!
I want to see,taste, enjoy and celebrate with someone who wants to do the same and has their own life to share.
