Date men from United States / California / Colfax, 56 year old

Date a man from Colfax, United States. Hi there! Thanks for your interest. I am a recent empty nester. I have been building my own home and developing 10 acres over the last several years. I was married for fourteen years and have been a widower for nineteen. Raised my daughter from the age of two and son from six on my own. We all survived relatively unscathed. They are both living their own adult lives now.
I enjoy being active, the type of work I had done over the last 25 years had become a lot less physical over time. The never-ending list of projects around the place continues to fill that void. I travel some, enjoy hiking and exploring. I find local history quite interesting. I enjoy most any kind of music and play some myself. My politics lean somewhat to the left. I believe in taking care of the planet as well as ourselves. (They kinda go hand in hand)
I hope to meet someone with similar interests, someone who has a desire to be part of a team, who "has my back" because she knows I have hers. Not interested in serial dating. Rather someone to develop a permanent relationship with.
That's me!
