Date women from United States / California / Shasta Lake, 64 year old

Date someone special from Shasta Lake, United States. I love the mountains and open spaces. I grew up in San Gabriel Valley and raised my children there, but 10 years ago I was given an opportunity to open a business in a little town in Northern California. I moved and fell in love with the area and the serenity that I found. I have been divorced since 1994 but since moving to a community of 3500 in NoCal, there haven't been many opportunities to date so I have been out of the dating scene for a long time. Its hard to get back into the mentality of putting myself on the block so to speak, but in order to move forward in life chances have to be taken. I am not a needy person I am really comfortable in my own skin. I have my own life and it is fine, I do want someone in my life tho, it does get lonely without someone to share all the wonderful moments together and to have someone to fall back on when life gets to be too much. My children are all grown now with families of their own and since I find myself with lots of free time I would love to explore this internet dating phenomenon. I would like to meet someone that has a love for the outdoors, horses and riding are a plus, a quick smile and a joy of living. I have found that stress is not all that it is cracked up to be , so I have stopped worrying about what might be and have started enjoying what is.
I am looking for a partner, a sharer of fun, a bearer of a soft shoulder when needed(I have one to share too), someone that is comfortable to be around, one that can take the ups and downs a relationship consists of..in short, my best friend and confidante'..... My Hero in an age of villains.
