Date men and women from United States / California / Yreka, 51 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Where to start? First, I delete people without pictures--it is not about looks, but I am looking for someone about my age, I don't really care for long hair, or beards--but it is not etched in stone--if we make a connection that is all that really matters.
I am kinda picky, okay, I have OCD--or I would never find anything. I am very honest--need a guy who is honest too. I love the outdoors, and my dog "Pookie" goes everywhere with me. I have five kids, two are still in HS, and live with me sort of--I'll explain when needed, lol. I would rather work in the yard then have it done for me. I like to cook too--but not everyday. I am very crafty and like projects. I like to read, and farm on farmville. I have not had a real social life in over 20 years. I spend most of my time with my kids, or working.
I like bowling, snow skiing, water fun, and sometimes hiking. Made it to the top of Castle Crags this summer with my kids. I also love to shop, ha, ha. I go camping a lot, but I bring everything except the kitchen sink. I also enjoy nice hotels, White Rock Resort is one of my favorite places to stay--Love the Smith River too. I like new adventures. I am a little competitive, but not good at regular sports. I'm in for a good game of Ping-pong, or pool though. I do not usually drink, except when I play pool, ha, ha, it goes with my game! Expect a sort of crazy lady, who is afraid of few things! I am living my live...without having a lot of fun, what is the point? I loke fun, and will try many things--not jumping out of any plane, etc. lol.
I hope there are actually some men out there who are not into games, and just want to have some fun, get to know each other and see what happens. I like games, just not head games, I'm in for a good bout of flirting, and laughing....
Family is very important to me, and some of my kids are still at home. I plan to have them around as long as possible, and I like to spend time with them. I get along well with all kids, and would not think about having a life without them.
I love to work in my yard, and swim--well get wet and tan, lol. I am looking to have some fun, and see what happens--no pressure, and no strings to start. If people exaggerate on this as they do in job applications--I'm in the wrong place. I am real, and just me. Not perfect, but not bad either. I snow ski, but hate the cold, I only go on sunny days--Ashland is too expert for me so I stick to Shasta.
I also do not buy into love at first sight--sparks at first sight, yes. I don't mean to be rude, but not into guys who talk about marriage when we have not even met, or ones who expect me to move, go to see them, or want to video chat..
I should note: If you are 50 and looking for women 18, I am not for you. Also, not looking for a long-long distant relationship--so if you live in New York, or even Southern California, I am probably not for you, unless you have very deep pockets and want to pay for all the shipping, lol
If you view my profile, I will also view yours. However, I am assuming if you viewed my profile, and did not send an e-mail that you are not interested. That is cool, we all are looking for some spark, if it is not there well it will be with someone else--good luck to us both!
Also I smoke, trying to quit, but I enjoy smoking, and it is my only vice! My kids hate it though. I read the profiles--you should too. If you wink, or e-mail me I will respond, even if I do not think we are a match. We are all here searching for someone, it is frustrating not knowing if the person is interested or not.
If you are just a player, please find another playmate, I am looking for a real person, friends, or more?
That is all for now, thanks for taking the time to read this
