Date women from United States / California / Penn Valley, 61 year old

Date a woman from United States. I am loyal, enthusiastic and an animal person to the core. So my dogs sleep in front of the fire in winter, and the rest of the pets fare pretty well, too. My horses used to work hard but these days they barely work part time. I've actually been told "If there's anything to reincarnation, I want to come back as one of your dogs!"
I would love to have a good guy in my life who is active and has his own interests, but wants companionship sometimes, too. I can handle some eccentricities, and usually enjoy the differences that keep life interesting. I am self reliant, a hard worker (when I'm not goofing off), have a quirky sense of humor and I stay pretty active. I appreciate good music, a bright mind, a sense of humor and I love good food and trying new dishes. I'm also a history nut to some degree, and I'm intrigued by various topics and places. I've traveled quite a bit at times in my life and I'm usually up for a good adventure.
