Date men and women from United States / California / North Highlands, 78 year old

Date a woman from United States. I was widowed in 1978. I never dated as too busy. Now I would like to have someone who likes to stay home and visit or have dinner out or maybe travel a bit. I have been on a fixed income but like to write and also want to get it published. I love books. I cook and people will tell you I am good. I wished I had had my own restaurant but I cook for the family. my social life has been nil. If you can make me laugh that would be the most important wish. Honesty also is a good virtue.
My religion is also different. My home is my church and I can talk to God anytime I want. I never was made to go to church as a child and I never liked it when I did go. It made me uncomfortable. God is right here around me so I can not ask for anything more. If you want excitement you will not find it here I am to old now. You should have known me when I was young. Smile. I am not like any of my friends. I think differently than they do and if I could discribe me I would say I was different. That's all just different.
