I am a petite and personable woman, seeking a man of intelligence,humor,passion and integrity. I offer the same in return. I reside in Florida, but also appreciate the crisp air and serenity of the mountains. My partner died a few years ago and I am ready to explore the possibilities of another long term relationship. I retired after a 31 year career in state and federal government service and am currently employed again in a post retirement career. I consider friends to be an important part of my life and I am honored by and loyal to those who offer their friendship to me. If you have a warm smile, a sense of humor and communicate honestly and easily, I will find you interesting! I am sincere in my search for a partner.

A first date is essential for communication, which rules out locations with excessive noise or distractions. I would prefer a quiet coffee or lunch date which would enable us to converse and become better acquainted.
