I have recently retired, have many interests and am busier now than ever! I love my home, family, dog and friends. I enjoy cooking, decorating, gardening, reading, playing on my computer, watching TV, movies, theater, symphony, concerts, traveling, walks on the beach, learning, going to garage and estate sales. I love to laugh and find humor and good in most things. I'm looking for a friend to share life's experiences who is also optimistic. I would like the friendship to lead to a committed relationship. But, if it doesn't, that's O.K. Making a new friend is good too.

I would like to meet at a coffee shop (like Starbucks or something comparable) to get to know you over a cup of coffee before going on a date to make sure we both want to invest our time and efforts.
