Date women from United States / California / Lake Forest, 68 year old

Date someone special from Lake Forest, United States. I'm secure with who I am. I'm looking for a GENTLEMAN who enjoys sharing, who is financially secure and knows who he is. I'm not looking to be a caretaker, nor am I looking for one. I no longer need to set the world on fire, and if you're secure with yourself, you don't need to either.

Meet a woman from Lake Forest, United States. Roots come from the Midwest - Lincoln, Nebraska; Milwaukee Wisconsin; and West Chicago, Illinois. Back ground has been conservative. Parents instilled the values of hard work, a good education; treat others as I would want to be treated; Love the Lord with a passion and end up in Heaven.
I was married 37 years to a fun loving, devoted husband. We raised 2 sons - now independent and engaged in their own lives. Our home included extended family members, a mother-in-law (one of my best friends), her mother and her aunt. We enjoyed the older members of the family, appreciated their personalities and cared for them in our home.
I have worked full time most of my life with a few years out for childrenРІР‚в„ўs needs.
Being a labor and delivery nurse has been my most exciting & enjoyable work experience but in later years of this exciting career I worked more in administration.
Our family has enjoyed many vacations in our motorhomes. Yosemite Valley, The Black Hills and Pismo Beach were a few of my favorites. Have not seen much of the north east but would like to explore that part of our country as well as a few places in Europe.
I have been fairly close to home caring for a fragile but very sweet, martini drinking mother-in-law who just passed 2 months ago. It was my privilege to care for her at home. Retiring 6 months ago to care for her was the best plan. I'm opening a new chapter in my life.
To improve fitness I tried our local club and explored the wonders of the gym - found it to be both exhausting and boring. Eager to find more fun I tried ice skating - a great alternative for a once a week adventure. I try to take an hour walk a week and only visit the gym once a week.
Politics - More conservative
I've attended Saddleback Church for the past year and have enjoyed messages delivered by pastor Risk Warren. The name on the church door is not as important as the relationship with the Lord.
Sports -I would enjoy a football or baseball game or hockey game, but a boxing or wrestling match could be done with another guy friend. I've tried golf and could take some lessons.
A new computerized sewing machine is my newest challenge. Other than this, most electronic things are a challenge to operate optimally.
Being a world traveler is not a goal but would like to see a more places - Europe in particular.
In general, each of us is responsible for their personal happiness & should enjoy some time alone but sharing joys and blessings with another like minded person would be a great balance. Basically, IРІР‚в„ўm a light hearted but warm & caring person. Although I have recently become a grandmother, many are surprised that I look younger than my actual age.
Do you like to have fun and try different things? Do you like to just hang out sometimes and snitch cookie dough or try a pot of homemade soup or hot apple pie?
If you're looking for me, I might be looking for you.
