My longtime loving partner and I retired to Boise, planning to enjoy traveling and getting to spend time together at last. But two years ago, after 13 years together, our relationship ended. I'm ready for a new relationship based on friendship, communication and good conversation, sharing and fun with a man preferably near my age--educated, literate, kind, likes to laugh, and interested in the world. While an intimate relationship, I believe, is healthy and necessary, if you are only looking for sex rather than companionship, friendship, with the possibility of intimacy after getting to know each other better, don't bother to read further. So, about me: 5'2", a little overweight but just joined a gym. Brown hair, brown eyes, dry sense of humor. Two of my children live in Boise, I have two more girls in Seattle area and a son near Sacramento. I have one grandbaby, Isabel, who is 14 months old. I have a degree in finance and a law degree, but don't practice. I am semi-retired now, sell a few books on the internet. I own a comfortable home and I am financially secure. I am not much of an outdoor person, and could lose a few pounds, but I am intelligent, fun, interesting and have tons of interests. I am a movie buff and love to read. I like to do fun things around Boise, and I love to cook and bake bread. I'd love to hear from you to see if we might have interests in common. Let's visit a bit. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am interested in meeting someone special, who is a friend first, who is fun and funny, interesting and educated, who likes to do things together and who would be a great traveling companion. I'd like to get together for a lunch, or coffee, and spend some time talking, to get to know each other a little. As I mentioned, I'm not much of an outdoor person, but a walk on the greenbelt would be nice, or there is a great air museum at the airport in Nampa, the Warhawk, or something else that would allow for spending some quality time together.
