I'm a retired English teacher and former journalist; I enjoy photography, Hawaiian dance, walking my dogs, hiking, traveling and reading. I prefer casual and quiet, but can dress to the nines and socialize if called for. I'm looking for friendship first, perhaps building a day at a time to something more.
I have lived in Southern California most of my adult life, but also taught in Hawaii for three years. Growing up, I lived in Pennsylvania, Aruba, Virginia and Arizona. I've traveled in the U.S., Mexico, Europe, Israel and Australia.
All the photos are recent.
Now tell me about you.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I'm easy going and enjoy people with a good sense of humor. I would like to travel and see some of the world. I love movies, plays, art museums, watching football on TV, exploring new local areas and just hanging out. I'm looking for a relationship with someone that would like some company, a nice time out to dinner, a show, bowling, whatever. I've been a widow for 10 years and would like to expand my social circle (which is small right now).
