Date women from United States / California / Santa Ana, 61 year old

Date a woman from United States. I am easy-going and very happy most of the time. I love my work, but I also look forward to my time off. My job is stressful but fulfilling, being in the field of helping children. I share my leisure time with a few special friends and family. I'm content with going out to dinner or entertaining at home, white wine, engaging conversation, kindness and laughter. I enjoy good movies and watching TV in the evening to wind down. I always invent a new coatume every Halloween and have my family and best friends over on Christmas Eve.
My perfect match has yet to be found ... handsome (through my eyes), a great sense of humor (mandatory), integrity (seems to be rather rare these days), accomplished, confident, calm and enjoys being with a woman just a little more than golfing, fishing, camping and TV. I want a great friend first and a great lover forever..... we have all had our dance cards filled a few times and our score cards may be somewhat frayed, but I'm still hoping for that future relationship that comes as easy as breathing air.
I'm getting too comfortable with my glass of wine in the evening watching the food channel or Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, The Good Wife and Castlefor starters!! I used to love dancing all night long,... I do hope to one day maybe travel to some of the wonderful places that I have yet to venture - France, England, Canada, Alaska...it would be fun and so much more interesting to go with someone who wants to explore these places as well and share the experience together. I am also just as happy exploring the California coastline, mountains, desert or the wine country with an occasional new travel adventure to somewhere I have yet to see...it all depends on the company...it really makes no difference where we spend time with the right person! Perhaps that is you ...

Meet someone special from United States. Passion is what drives me. I am the type of person who loves to touch, taste, and experience as much of life as I can. I believe that I am a kind, generous, smart, strong, independent and fun loving person. Laughter is a MUST! I look, feel and act younger than my age. Having purpose in life is essential, which makes me strive to always be the best that I can be.
What I am NOT: a drama queen, materialistic, vain, superficial, boring, couch potato
What I AM: easy going, down to earth, creative, adventurous, playful, affectionate...
I love new adventures, whether they are in my backyard photographing the flowers after the rain, or teaching a photography workshop in Italy. Traveling is at the top of my list for enjoyment. As much as I love the beauty of a museum or an ancient medieval city, I have to say, that sitting down with the people in a country and sharing a cappuccino or a glass of vino is one of life's richest moments.
I am truly inspired by nature. If given a choice, I would rather go camping than stay in a high rise hotel. (however, room service can be pretty nice :) )
I have been a professional photographer, photographing OC families for over 28 years and I am still passionate about my work. Inspiring aspiring students brings me great joy. My art/photography has given me the gift of seeing simple beauty in this amazing world.
My 3 grown children are everything to me and being a "gammie" is simply amazing!
I would love to meet someone who is more like me than not. A man who does not take himself too seriously and can laugh at himself. A man who is not full of himself nor boastful (my pet peeve). Someone who loves the outdoors. An intelligent, confident, generous, honest man who is down to earth. A person who can communicate and revel in the simple beauty of a sunset atop a mountain.
Please do not wink, I would love to hear from you instead.

My favorite quotes;
"Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"
"Just do the right thing. It may not make you happy, but it will make you great".
Please no winks, if you have something to say, i will answer you back one way or another.
