Date men from United States / California / Lake Forest, 73 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I grew up in the Midwest in a loving home - Educated @ Easter Il. Univ with a degree in Education and a masters in guidance and counseling. Credentialed and long time secondary education administrator. Retired and enjoying the next half of life. Occasional handy man projects and working with wood keep me occupied. I have traveled a bit but may enjoy a few more trips.
A loving family has been a blessing in my life and I enjoyed a long and happy life with my late wife. After 3 1/2 years of recovery and dating, I have come to the point in my life that I am looking for a partner, someone to fall for and spend the rest of life loving and having a fantastic time.
I'm not bad at barbecuing and have some cooking skills but would appreciate someone who would enjoy sharing the kitchen. My specialty - I'll grow the tomatoes and cucumbers for the salad and throw the steaks on the grill and you??
For a change, I enjoy going up to the cabin in Crestline, It's a little primitive but no better time sitting on the front porch with a glass of wine watching the birds and enjoying conversation, that is unless of course it gets too cold and a warm fire place and a cozy couch invites a little old fashioned cuddling.
A brisk walk in the morning is invigorating; Reading is a special past time and I enjoy volunteering time. At the end of the day I enjoy a glass or two of wine sitting on my patio and conversing with passing neighbors, family and friends. I'm just a regular kind of guy with a great big heart looking for the right gal.
I am up for almost any activity except going hunting with Dick Cheney
