Just moved to AZ 4.5 years ago from the east coast...and am loving it. I want to explore the western states in my free time, and would love to find a like-minded man. There are still a few overseas places on my 'to do' list also - Greece, Turkey, Spain. I like to use wineries as destinations. Haven't been to an ugly wine region yet! At home, I love to entertain, I'm a pretty good cook..and don't mind sharing the prep. I have minimal emotional baggage and do well with positive people. I have a happy outlook on life. You won't catch me lounging on a beach (Irish skin) and don't expect me to ride on the back of a motorcycle. I love roller coasters though. I have a daughter in Las Vegas, so I travel there frequently to see the grand-kids. The trip from here is a lot easier than from CT!

You should be taller than 5'10" and of average build. Intelligence, honesty, and being responsible are characteristics I seek in a man. Love a lively conversation ... or sharing a crossword. I have lots of friends and 3 cats, so you can't be allergic to either!

First date (after a short first meeting) - getting to know each other a bit more accompanied by some food and wine. A picture of great French bread, cheese and a bottle of wine comes to mind....but I haven't found Tucson's romantic picnic spots!! A long walk through the Desert Museum is great...unless it's 100 degrees. Lots of opportunity to talk is a necessity.
