Date women from United States / California / Vallejo, 73 year old

Date someone special from Vallejo, United States. I find myself a widow after being extremely lucky and happy in my marriage. I want a man who can appreciate me and all that I have to offer. I want someone to be close to and share my love of life. I have been told that I am a sensual looking woman, and I know that I am very caring and loving. I treasure the family I have left and would love to have someone to share the rest of my life with that I could respect and love. My friends describe me as an overcomer with a great attitude. Each day is a new life for me and a chance to do some good in this world.

Meet a soulmate from Vallejo, United States. (With apology to Andrew Marvel)
TO MY COY MISTERS
Had we but world enough, and time . . .
I would wait for you to write me online.
We would sit down and think which way to tempt the other
and spend our long day comparing smiles, and beguiling eyes.
My missives unanswered lay, As one by one passes each day.

Am I of such stern demeanor
To slow the beating of each male heart?
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained"
Spend for coffee, and your precious time,
Confront this dragon lady who sets her heart high to be won
By a graybeard with laughing eyes.
No Ph.D. needed, if you've read widely, We'll have much to discuss
Music lover? perhaps dancing feet?
Walk in nature's beauty by my side. . .
Wait not, want not, to bend a phrase . . .
Let not different politics nor religion foul
Our view of each other's aging smiles,
We may hold other much in common.
Years pass even as sands fly down the glass
and at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near.
The grave's a fine and private place
But none I think do there embrace.
So push the button, spend the time
Buy the coffee, sneak a peek, I may be the one for whom you seek!
A timid heart will never know
The laughing days lost to hesitancy!
Don't imagine I'm looking for just another pretty face or a meal ticket. I am self-reliant, live carefully, not frugally, IРІР‚в„ўm financially secure. I hope you are too.
I value intellect and a kind, gentle nature above all.
I am looking for the last love of my life; someone who will be my dearest friend and confidante. We'll travel, explore local and international sites, hike, swim, read, dawdle over coffee, laugh together.
A good relationship does not demand we be twins, simply flexible and compatible.

I moved 3,000 miles to be near my son and his family. My other son is now dead. Life is about loss; I have forged a new life, much the way I forged silver and made wearable objets d'art. Carefully, with concentration, working towards my goals: a healthy body and mind, a community of friends here in CA, and a special man to love.
Two out of three, accomplished. You are the missing piece. Send me a message . . .
We all have many facets to our nature. It's difficult to do a verbal thumbnail about myself. It's more fun to read each other in person, than try to read the person through the profile.
