Date women from United States / California / Marysville, 68 year old

Date someone special from Marysville, United States. I have a very good sense of humor and love to laugh, giggle and smile. I want a partner who is content with himself as he is and doesn't want anyone to "make him over". I am content with who I am and don't want to be "fixed as I am not broken". I really like me! A relationship is a two-way street and everyone must compromise once in a while. That doesn't mean change just be open to new ideas. I like to dance and love all kinds of music. Not particularly fond of hip hop or rap. I like country, light rock, jazz and some really old-time rock-n-roll. I like to wine and dine, flea markets, car shows, horse shows, seeing the beauty that our country and other countries have to offer. I like historical sites and have traveled to many countries enjoying each individual culture.
I was born in the San Francisco Bay Area and moved to my paradise in the mountains in 1993. I love the quiet and peacefulness of the Sierra Foothills. I am an animal lover and have several rescue pets. My partner should not worry about a little dog hair. It comes right off! I don't do well with stuffy or snobby people. I believe in living and letting everyone else live their life as they choose. I am not judgemental and would not do well with a partner who is! I want a partner who knows how to treat a lady with gentleness and kindness. Someone who will "tip his hat" to a lady, hold hands while walking together and treat his lady as his special person. I will do the same for my partner. I do volunteer work with the American Cancer Society in remembrance of my late husband who died of cancer last year. We were together for 39 years. I am ready to get on with the business of living and laughing again.
I am easy to get along with, don't like to argue, don't like to fight. I prefer discussions to resolve conflicts if they come up. I am a good friend and a loyal, faithful partner. I am a one-man woman and expect my partner to be a one-woman man! I am comfortable in jeans, T-shirts and boots as well as more professional attire. I take pride in my appearance and want my partner to do the same.
In my former life in the Bay Area, I was a professional and dressed the part. I can converse with the best of them! I am intelligent and well read.
My family is very important to me and they are a big part of my life. I love to cook big family dinners and socialize with my friends and family.
This is who I am and who I am looking for. So, if you are out there - let's get on with it!
