Date men and women from United States / California / Modesto, 77 year old

Date people from Modesto, United States. I love to hang out with my friends and family, especially my grandchildren.. I love a good laugh, and people with a sense of humor.
I am a native Californian. Have never lived in any other state. I am thoughtful and easy going. I enjoy making people happy.
I hope to travel to southern US sometime. I have enjoyed traveling many of the United States, but I want to see more. I want to tour Italy. A dream of mine. I understand the Italian language and I love the people. I learned to speak Portuguese as a child from my grandparents and learned some Italian from my first husbands' family. I can also speak some Spanish. I like to be around positive people who see good in others. I am looking for someone with the same qualities.
I like to play Bridge and I love board games and word puzzles.
I love my home and enjoy being here. I also enjoy entertaining. I have many friends and I love spending time with them.
My children are all grown and live away from home. I allow them their space and don't get involved in their lives unless I am asked. I have seven grandchildren and four step grandchildren who all live in other cities.
As a young woman, I worked as a dental assistant. When my children were in school, I did some part-time work as a bi-lingual aide in elementary schools. I also worked in a high end fashion store for a while and part time in an Optometric office.
