I am ready to live again after losing my husband after 52 years of marriage.
My friends tell me that I look and act younger than my years and enjoy life more than anyone they know. I love to travel and have done extensive travel both here and abroad. I have the gift of music in my heart and a desire to love that special man who wants a hands on woman with velvet gloves to softly lead his heart. I am a loving and caring female who wants someone who likes quiet evenings at home or a nice dinner out.. Loves walking on the beach at sunset, part owner of a condo at Atlantic Beach, or taking a trip to the mountains to view leaves, eating apples and drinking apple cider. I love gardening, decorating, visiting antique shops, auctions, shopping, wine tasting and doing things on the spur of the moment. I am very social and have a lot of friends and know how to dress. I am fortunate that I have good health. I love animals but do not have any at the moment.
I would like to meet a man who is intelligent, independent and self-assured with a good sense of humor, who would like to share in the adventures that life has to offer; who would not necessarily share my interest and opinions, but who would at least be interested in them.
I have two wonderful children, boy and a girl. My daughter is married and has given me two wonderful granddaughters and they live in Wake Forest, NC. My son lives in Greensboro and is not married and has no children and is of great help when I call on him for things that are beyond me.
I have worked most of my married life and lost my job in the Real Estate market in February. I am finding that being home all the time is not for me and would like to have a part time job to help fill the days. I do volunteer at the Jamestown Library and am the treasurer of the Old Jamestown School Alumni Association.
I do have one really bad habit and that is smoking but am thinking seriously about quiting and the right man might encourage me.
I do enjoy a nightly glass of wine or a cocktail but in no way consider this a problem because I am very moderate and never have or will abuse the privilage.
For now I am looking for someone with the anticipation that we might find in each other the basis of a lasting friendship and perhaps more.

To be the best I can be and love and be loved. Be compassionate of others and when I leave this earth I would like people to say she was a good, loving and caring person and will be missed.

Dance

Reference

A quiet dinner either at home or in a nice restaurant with that someone special. Also, an evening with friends. Holidays with family and friends. Traveling, again with that special someone. Dancing, watching a romantic movie in front of a roaring fire. A weekend of shopping with girl friends on a weekend get a way. Reading a good book sitting on my deck and listening to the birds.

Thoughtfullness

Someone who is honest, does not play games with me, attractive, clean and neat and loves to have fun.

Committed
