Date women from United States / California / Rutherford, 51 year old

Date someone special from Rutherford, United States. I am someone who appreciates the gift of life every single day. Friends have expressed my personality as warm and bubbly, although when we first meet I can be a bit reserved. I am adaptable to most situations and am always looking for what's new around the corner. Yes, I do have a bucket list and try to be diligent about making sure those items are experienced. I can enjoy a quiet day just sitting on the beach and then turn around the next day and appreciate a good belly laugh at a comedy club. Friends and family are extremely important in my life and surround myself with their love and support every chance I get. I have one daughter and one grandson that are the light of my life. Even though they live on the East Coast, we have made a pact to see each other every three months. Time goes by so quickly.
I enjoy traveling both abroad and domestic. I am comfortable traveling alone but we know that life is meant to be shared. My travel adventures can be as simple as camping or as luxurious as staying in a castle. I will toss a pin at the local map and go explore what the area has to offer.
My dog Nascar is my buddy. He loves other dogs which makes traveling with him a pleasure. Dog parks are a must.
I am looking for someone to share life's adventures with. He should be kind, have a sense of humor (including the ability to laugh at himself), takes an interest in his own health and personal appearance, open-minded about trying something new ... let's see, what have I left out? Someone who values the good that life has to offer!
