I am in a good place in my life and work, I just need someone to share it with. Blessed with good genes from my Italian parents, I look younger than my age. Long term is preferable but I have maintained friendships for 35 years. All I need to make a good time out is a dance floor and music of all kinds EXCEPT rap and some gospel. Opera, cowboy dancing and Latin music, gardening, home projects, have been a passion of mine. I love the mountains with lakes and the beach especially in cooler weather. I am a good homemaker and good cook. I possess strong family values, a true friend and companion, spiritual, honest and sincere in relationships. I am looking for somone who is comfortable in his skin, all around nice guy, intelligent, has the capability to be a good listener and communicator. Affection, intimacy, respect, laughter, spirited conversation, fun and a feeling of belonging are all necessary to me. I am physically fit, emotionally balanced and financially stable and have a good sense of style and an a good sense of humor. I am looking for the same. I must have someone who possesses, do I need to say this, a high standard of hygiene and cleanliness.
Relocated from NY. I have been divorced for 9 years and have raised my daughters to adulthood. Too much said.....I have no hidden agendas, what you see is what you get, and I expect the same courtesy in return.
My household includes 6 cats and 2 english labs which I consider family.

Addictions and abusive behavior of any kind have no place in my life.

I am as comfortable in jeans and sandals as I am in a black dress and heels.

I make time for things and people I value. I truely believe love travels distance and laughter heals. No games, no lies........ If you are not genuinely honest about who you are look somewhere else.

First dates are more like meetings so coffee, lunch or brunch work best depending on the distance people have to travel. No matter where it ends up, it all needs to start with friendship. We can take it from there.
