Date women from United States / California / Lake Forest, 71 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. It's hard to sum up who I am, I have so many interests. OK, for a start, I love to cook, as well as dining out. Live theater is always fun, but I also love to just spend the day investigating new areas, just hanging out as the kids say. I'm an artist, not a serious one, just something I love to do. I'm extremely good at painting the interior of my house. I just moved to this area and I'm in the process of painting the entire house.
I love to garden, I also love to shop. Sorry but I have to admit it, I do love to shop. I moved to this area to be closer to my son and daughter-in-law and two very adorable grandchildren, ages 3 and 6. If you haven't guessed already I'm extremely active, and my health is excellent. I don't have a religion, I just believe in being a good person and basically living by the golden rule. I've always had a very upbeat, happy view of life.
Honestly I don't have a "goal" in mind by dating. I'm open to just a friendship, maybe someone to have some fun adventures with? If it develops into something else, that will happen in it's own time.
I grew up fishing with my Dad on the ocean; but I would love to learn how to fly-fish.
