Date someone special from Santa Rosa, United States. I am a healthy and a happy financially secure woman who has many wonderful friends and a close family. I love to travel (Going to Eastern Europe in August), enjoy taking walks and hiking, playing golf , some easy bridge., and lots of reading. New adventures appeal to me. I also enjoy going to the city, eating at good restaurants, museums. wonderful wine (including the grapes I grow and the wine we make in the backyard), going to movies, live music and theater, meeting new people and cherishing old friends. The SF symphony, and the Giants are high on my list of favorite good times. ACT (American Conservatory Theater) in SF is a favorite, as is the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
Staying at home quietly with good books, music and quality TV, good movies.....that is also one of the best evenings.
I really enjoy playing golf, though I have a high handicap. Hiking in our beautiful wine country is a also favorite pastime.
I am a Midwesterner by birth (Chicago area) and have also lived in the Wis., Italy, Michigan, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and best of all...Sonoma County. My parents and grandparents were teachers, my father was a law professor. I was raised in a very happy home where love of learning and a joy of life were a constant theme.
I'm grateful for my friends and extended family, including my two children and their families. We are all independent and also fortunately live fairly close by each other and have a wonderful time with six young grand kids I highly value integrity, laughter, and a curious mind.
A good complement would be a man of integrity, with similar values, who is stable, content, financially secure, with a positive outlook. He enjoys being active and can also enjoy the simple, quiet pleasures of life. Golf, hikes, dinner out, travel anywhere, books, trips to the city, most music venues, even lectures and classes are great fun for me. I enjoy meeting people, embracing new friends and treasuring old friends. I think someone who enjoys interesting conversation and has a very good relationship with his friends and his family members...would be attractive to me..
Meet a woman from Santa Rosa, United States. I have no desire to attempt to live life in the fast lane any more. I have slowed down and I do smell the roses every day. Gratitude is my frequent state of mind, I am grateful to say.
I have lived a rich and varied life. After spending 4 years on a cattle ranch in Idaho, and 33 years on the east coast, I finally succeeded in getting back home to California, which was no small task to be sure.
I laugh at old "Mash" reruns, silly pet antics and intelligent men with a dry or better yet, a "play on words" sense of humor.
Even though I have a BS in Psychology, and advanced training in numerous personal growth and healing practices, I have made a living with my hands much of my life; renovating houses, and driving a semi crosscountry, among other things. I also had a hypnosis practice for 15 years and helped hundreds of folks stop smoking and deal with other personal issues.
Today I am most greatful for renewed good health and to be living here in paradise (N. CA).
I don't have much social life these days. Never was into clubing or what today is called "Partying". I married too young and had babies too soon. Frankly, I don't think I missed anything really important.
I have lived in the country and in the city. I love the country but small town life is the best in my world these days.
In a "relationship" I am most interested, at this point in life, in friendship and companionship. Someone to share the day to day stuff of life with. Traveling would be fun and a great adventure whether close to home or across the world.
If I had all the money and power in the world, I would make sure that clean energy was developed quickly and implemented all over the world; that the oceans were cleaned up and protected for posteriey, that zero population growth became the norm, and that the value of co-operation became the highest value in this and all cultures.
Date a soulmate from Santa Rosa, United States. Although born in the midwest, I have spent most of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am very family and home oriented. I have two grown sons. One is married and living on the Peninsula and one is living in San Francisco. I adore and enjoy my three grandchildren tremendously.
I am generous, kind, warm, a straight shooter, real, possess a wry sense of humor, smart, caring, fun-loving. I am a great cook and comfortable in most environments.
My perfect match would be someone who is/was a professional, and also comfortable in most environments. I am generally attracted to strong and powerful men - but not always.

Date someone special from California, United States. I'm an evolved, unique woman, and I like good companions who take responsibility for themselves, are kind, generous, and yet don't waste their money. Sometimes I break the social rules of my ilk, so the man who choses to accompany this female should be open-minded when the "lady" doesn't keep her mouth shut in charged situations. I love shaking the bod to live music, and my favorite place to visit was the Kivas in New Mexico and the Temples in China.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. My passion is growing food - and I run 3 community gardens so others may have that opportunity also. I bike, hike, kayak, camp, garden, sew, create art, write, design websites, read, go to movies, have dinners out but especially like to cook. Love travel, and I visit my small coffee finca in Costa Rica each year.
I'm looking for a partner who seeks a long-term relationship and who lives close by or within 20 miles, unless there is a creative alternative. I'd like to share fun, food and intimate times together. I realize that not all dates will result in a potential long term mate, but the pleasure in meeting new people is part of the discovery process for me.
A good match would be, as I am, healthy, energetic, sensual, creative, progressive, honest, tolerant, resilient, spiritual and kind.
. I'm a romantic idealist who majored in science and loved Music, Philosophy, the Arts and Nature. Basically I'm curious about many, many areas of life. Besides my major areas of learning and teaching which are about the human body, the human spirit, and our relationships here on Earth, I'd say spirituality and politics are strong threads that run through my life.
Seeing kindness and caring about others, helping each other out, thoughtfulness, and sensitivity, touch me and remind me to exercise these qualities. Perhaps you feel the same?
Although health and vitality may be strong indicators of attractiveness to me, the exterior qualities aren't the most important. I learned from my marriage that the spiritual search needed to be a priority in my life and I hope it will be with you. Of course it helps if there are many similarities in likes and dislikes but differences can be the spice of life.
If your nature is caring, affectionate, loving, and romantic, I'd love to meet you.
. You'll find me to be a warm, kind, gentle, caring, intelligent, witty, adventuresome woman who's more interested in what's in your head and your heart than what's in your garage or your boat slip. Walking/hiking, kayaking, swimming, exploring new places are activities that rejuvenate me. I have an intense love of music, especially classical. I enjoy movies, concerts, museums, travel. Sharing good food and wine with good friends over lively conversation is my favorite way to entertain. My cat allows me to share our home as long as I provide her with food and water.
I'm looking for a guy who is generous of heart and spirit, who has discovered the joys of living more simply, that the "winner" is not necessarily the one who has gathered the most toys. I'd like it if we share many of the same interests and activities, but also know the value of time alone or with others. Being a very tactile person. I enjoy the pleasures of human touch. And then there's that chemistry thing . . .
