Date women from United States / California / Oakhurst, 57 year old

Date someone special from Oakhurst, United States. “Hey, hey, good lookin', Whatcha got cookin'? How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?” - Lyrics by Hank Williams Jr.
There are some great lyrics out there that can express why we are probably both here. Your reasons may be different than mine so in my own words, basically IРІР‚в„ўm a peaceful gentle-lady looking for a peaceful gentleman to spend time with as a friend first, then ???. But I probably should share a few more details.
IРІР‚в„ўm just a simple country girl at heart, who has traveled some, lived in cities but prefers living where it is less populated, and in, or near the mountains where it snows in the winter. I am a retied photojournalist who covered primarily sports, fires and emergency services. Do still enjoy taking pictures, but now I shoot mostly flowers and landscapes. I like traveling, exploring new places, enjoying old familiar places and spending time with friends and family. Also enjoy, live concerts, theater, window-shopping, dinning out or cooking at home with someone special or for friends. In my free time at home I enjoy playing around on my computer, watching old movies, listing to music, making dream catchers, and just kicking back to enjoy the day and watch my roses grow.
“Life is an adventure of leaving how to give and receive unconditional love. Peace comes with tolerance and understanding. It is the balance between unconditional love and everything else.”
IРІР‚в„ўm here in search of a gentleman friend with a kindred soul, who is looking for a true friend to have some fun, laugh, enjoy and share life with in relative peace and harmony. A peaceful, open, caring man, who can honestly express and share what heРІР‚в„ўs thinking and how he feels. A gentleman with a great smile and a twinkle in his eyes, who is looking for and knows what having and being a true friend really means. A best friend that I can trust, love and depend on to be there no matter what life brings.
