I would describe myself as upbeat, attractive, fun-loving, fit and compassionate since I do lots of volunteering! love to walk/hike outside in the parks, on the beach and in the mountains! I like most outdoor activities, good upbeat movies, wine with dinner. Good strong coffee gets me going in the morning. I am definitely a morning person, not one to hang out in bars. I enjoy reading, Sudoku puzzles and as far as TV is concerned, I like PBS. Taking week-end trips is one of my favorite things to do and I am also up for longer periods of travel. I long to return to the southwest for some hiking in the spring and re-visit the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas. It's hard to find someone who enjoys travel as I do. I am free to go and prefer not to stay in the upscale resorts but roam and dine where the locals do. I have lots more to say but I can tell you later!

On a first date, let's meet for lunch, coffee, or a glass of wine at a local pub. A walk in the park would be fun if we are interested. It won't take long to see if we are compatible and want to see each other again.
