Date women from United States / California / Goleta, 67 year old

Date someone special from Goleta, United States. Summing up a good life in 2000 characters is a mighty challenge, but here goes…
Most days you’ll find me tutoring special needs children, but there’s room for much more – taking a class, grabbing a coffee at Starbucks, or spending time with a friend.
There’s lots to do around Santa Barbara, but a favorite vacation would be to hit the theaters and museums of NYC, pausing to refuel at wonderful places to eat – Italian, Asian, anything ethnic. Outside the big city, my idea of heaven is visiting the beautiful Berkshire mountains, drinking in the contrasting personalities of the small towns, and sampling the culture of the area – the music, art, theater, dance and craft fairs.
I love sports too – cheering for a home run, hanging on a tie-breaker or gasping when a putt skims the 18th hole. Phil Michelson is my favorite – I admire his integrity and humility, his relaxed nature, and that he’s not afraid to show he loves his wife! He reminds me of what I’m looking for in a relationship – trust, respect, good communication, ability to compromise, and a genuine mutual caring for one another.
Doubles tennis brought out the competitor in me – but it’s really the companionship that matters. And then there’s the gym – yes, I know it would be good to go but that’s where my self-discipline sometimes slips. Maybe we could encourage and support each other to get to our workouts regularly. I like to look after myself and want to be the best I can be – but we all need a bit of help at times!
If you asked my friends, they’d call me caring, generous, and a good listener…and I’m proud to have them as friends too! I’m as loyal as they are. Gathering my grown boys to share conversation and cooking is a total pleasure – my four grandchildren all say I’m a fun Nana. In all my relationships, it’s the sharing, the give-and-take, that’s important – not to mention a good laugh, a glass of wine, and quiet time together. I love to play card and board games, or just be curled up reading or enjoying a movie.
Other things to know: I drive a Prius and try to go easy on the earth; I was thrilled when Obama got in; and I appreciate Michael MooreРІР‚в„ўs convictions.
I like who I am at this time in my life… but the pleasures can be even greater when shared.
