Date someone special from Encino, United States. I love life;enjoy the simple and complex. I am a "half-full" person, have my own business and love meeting new people.My daughter makes me laugh. Cooking is more than food and it gives me pleasure to make interesting and wonderful meals for my family and friends

Meet a soulmate from Encino, United States. I'm told that I look younger then my birth chart implies. I do love people from other countries & place friendship high on my list. I'm confortable in a nice dress going out to a good dinner, or jeans and a park with a good book or nice man to enjoy the beauty with.
I love the mountains of my home state NC. Im happy in any state I find them all like a lady with different colors & personalities. I travel back and forth home to Ca. It is hard to talk about yourself. I grew up with a keen inagination of traveling and seeing the world. A life in the mountains grounded me for seeking out other people's way of thinking, and enough nerve to not think, it would change my mind. It did! I'm indebted for the years of so many friendships I passed though. to finally get it that most folks are the same; if gotten to know and accepted as they think. And let me be who I am in the bargin.
I would love to meet someone who shares my passion for nature and the beautiful days left in our life. I was brought up Baptist, but after deep study and traveling, I have come to understand; that all seem to merge into One... and as the Movie says...a river runs though it.
I love to dine before the fireplace and sip a glass of wine , and be with someone who enjoys that too. Auntie Mame' said life is a banquet, and most suckers are starving to death. I see her point. I'm lonesome in a crowd, but with the right person, a crowd is wonderful. In a planet with seven-plus billion people... there must be someone out there who enjoys a sunset and music as much as I do.
My ideal match would love to travel at times, but be confortable at home in a big chair watching the Discovery Channel or a good movie. If they love sports I can read a book. I do love Horse Racing. Go figure! My years of living in California, visiting my mother in NC every year, kept me in tune with my roots. My friends would tease me and say;that my feet were in California, but my head was lost in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. Ha! Perhaps they were right.
In any case let's be friends first...If love comes into the picture. Well, wouldn't that be great?
I will remain your friend.
