Date someone special from Ventura, United States. I have great enthusiasm for life and prefer doing things outdoors...not to say I don't like spending time at home..I do. It's important to me to meet someone that we can have fun together, share mutual respect...not a power struggle, similar philosophies , and values. I would like to meet someone that WANTS to be with a woman, not NEEDS to be. I'm a passionate fun loving communicator and am capable of an intimate relationship. I can be spontaneous, yet, I like to plan as well. I can enjoy the simple to the sublime and can enjoy either to the fullest. Positive attitude, sense of humor, integrity, loyalty, humility, kindness and a confidant sense of self are important characteristics that I admire...not only in someone else, I aspire to possess those attributes, as well.
I'm fortunate to have two grown, accomplished children of which I'm very proud. They're financially independent and emotionally healthy.
I'm health conscious and try to stay active. Not obsessively a "health nut", not a "gym rat". No tofurky for Thanksgiving, for sure.
You may agree that money doesn't buy happiness, but, the food's sure better ! :)
Hopefully, you've come to terms with your baggage and buried it DEEP in a landfill and not in the recycler.
Meet a soulmate from Ventura, United States. I farm and I sell antique prints and maps. I love the outdoors, walk several miles a week working in the orchard, but am not athletic. I gave myself flyfishing lessons in Montana for my birthday a few years ago; canРІР‚в„ўt catch a fish but love wading in a cold mountain stream. I do water aerobics three times a week. I listen more than I talk. I read widely. IРІР‚в„ўm a bleeding heart liberal. I practiced law for ten years. IРІР‚в„ўm an officer in a state-wide group and IРІР‚в„ўve served on some county boards. In my youth I co-owned and piloted a hot air balloon. I have two dogs, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and a rescued spaniel mix, a calico barn cat and some peacocks. I love the land, the smell of damp soil and strong coffee. I listen to classical music and NPR most of the time. IРІР‚в„ўm a museum person, not a beach sitter. I love languages and can get by in French and Spanish. Travel is a big part of my life; have been to Europe many times, Africa twice, Antarctica, but never Asia--I always seem to go back to France. The map business is a bit slow right now, and I spend most of my time managing and working on the ranch. I grow meyer and pink lemons that are marketed by Sunkist and I also grow avocados. I believe that the best vacation is to go somewhere opposite of where you live--since I live in a rural area (but 15 minutes from the beach and towns of 100,000 ) I love big cities, New York, London and Paris, which I know better than L.A. I've been to France twice for a month-long intensive French language school, living with French families, and a few years ago I rented an apartment in Paris for a month and just wandered around.
I was blessed with a good marriage that ended too soon. A major ah-ha moment for me was when I realized that I didn't need to win every argument or get my way every time. If it wasn't something truly, truly important to me I learned to let it go. I've been alone for many years, yet the lessons aren't forgotten.
I would love to find a man who reads, can converse and who finds joy in small things, but most of all, someone who hasnРІР‚в„ўt forgotten how to be playful.
Date a woman from Ventura, United States. I am high energy and full of life. My idea of fun is game oriented things. I like to bowl, play games, travel, attend sporting events, and occasionally gamble. I also look forward to doing other things and trying new things, life can be a great adventure. I was married to a fireman for 39 years, am now widowed for 4 years and I miss the connection of having a partner to share my life with. I have 2 grown children (a boy and a girl) and 1 little dog. I work in a great place and really love my job. I am easy to get along with, caring, honest and faithful and would like to find a man with similar qualities. I have been fortunate enough to have been to Italy 3 times, Russia, and many places in the U.S. I would love to do a zipline, maybe river rafting, go to Yosemite, and back to Europe to see the countries I haven't been to yet. I'm at a good place in my life and looking forward to a great future.
