I live in CA. but spend so much time here in New Mexico because of family. I really like my freedom now that I have just retired and all my kids are well on their own. My youngest daughter lives in my home in CA and holds down the fort while I am here in New Mexico. I really like animals and watching the birds which I feed well. I am healthy and strive with a healthy lifestyle to stay that way. I am an active Christian and try to treat others the same way I want to be treated. I am far from perfect, but that's a good thing so we can continually work to be better people. I like helping others and believe that is when I am most content. I would like, very much, to find a gentleman to correspond with at first and then maybe meet and spend time with doing what we both enjoy. I am not shy neither am I afraid to speak my mind with respect. I can be quite opinionated at times and like to have a good debate. Would like a man who doesn't have a problem going to church or going barefoot on the beach. Write me!!!

first date would hopefully involve a lot of conversation; getting to know one another. Maybe in a park or zoo or over coffee.
