Date women from United States / California / Orland, 56 year old

Date someone special from Orland, United States. I am someone that would rather be outside whenever possible and I prefer casual to formal. I enjoy the mountains, the ocean or just a drive in the country. While I don't hunt, it's fun to go along for the day just to be outdoors.
I am looking for someone that likes to get out and do things, rather than sit around during their free time. My match would be someone that is confident, caring and independent. I don't feel any need to get serious quickly, but I would like to work towards a deeper relationship if things click.
My children are raised and on their own, but still are a big part of my life. If you have children, I would expect you to devote time to them as well.
I have been self-employed for the last 20 years working with small children. I own my home and my income covers my needs, so I'm not looking for someone to support me. I would expect this same degree of financial stability from a serious partner in my life.
It would be nice to find someone to enhance my life; someone that can be relied on and trusted. I am a caring woman and am openly affectionate and loving in my relationships. A sense of humor is important to me. I like to have lots of laughter and smiles in my life and hope you do, too.
If you are looking for someone that is genuine, affectionate and that appreciates the simple pleasures in life, please drop me a line and say hello. I will be happy to answer your e-mail. We can exchange or I will send a picture as soon as you ask, but I don't care to post one on the site.
