Date women from United States / California / Capitola, 61 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am a blond, blue eyed widow with an easy going nature and always up for fun I enjoy all life has to offer. I still currently work and have a mountain zoo but I still have dreams of traveling. I'm hoping to find that tall guy who is happy and interesting with a passion for life (except maybe skydiving). I also enjoy gardening, the beach and mountains, dancing (although I really don't enjoy the bar scene) and I am being honest here: I can't cook, I'm not starving, but I it is not a passion of mine. Sharing in the experience is fine as I can clean up, but cooking is not something I do well. I must add that my friends are trying to teach me their tried and true recipes. For obvious reasons I enjoy Fine dining, Thai, Indian, Sushi, and most healthy food. I really am looking for someone to come out and play. Great conversation, a fun and strong man to make me feel good, are you that man?

Meet a woman from California, United States. I love spending time outdoors-(mountains,ocean,beach,strolling quaint towns)I am outgoing,enjoy people, and easy to talk to. In November 2007 I retired from UCDavis so I have more time for camping,wine tasting,drives to the mountains or along the coast.
My other favorites are going to food festivals,Monterey,S.F.,Tahoe,Reno,or Vegas. I do enjoy sporting events,especially basketball,music concerts,and blues festivals.
I love to cook and also have bar-b-ques with friends or family. I am the affectionate type who likes holding hands,cuddling,kissing,relaxing/watching sunsets at the ocean..........
If there could be an IDEAL Match:
I think a nice smile is very attractive. Limited baggage from ones past and someone who is emotionally ready to settle down and enjoy a meaningful life and share good times.....communication is vital,expressing his feelings and sharing ideas with me,as I will do the same...a willingness to enjoy some of the same places and interests would be a plus, but equally important that we explore new things together.I like a partner who is comfortable being among friends,family,spending time together but also time for personal space..
