Golden-Eyes-

My family is very important to me. I have two children and six grandchildren. Looking for someone who has family nearby and enjoys spending time with them. You must be emotionally and financially stable, either retired or will retire one day soon.

About me - l love horses and riding. I am a rockhound and enjoy gem and mineral shows. Also grabbing a bucket and small shovel and going Crystal hunting.

I am not a fashion slave. I do not buy designer clothing. I hate shoes. I love boating and jet skiing, camping, fire pits and making s'mores. I enjoy seafood, Chinese food italian food, actually most foods except Thai.

I love a nice dry Cabernet or a cold hoppy beer on a hot afternoon, and walks in nature or on the beach. I enjoy wine tastings, concerts, flea markets, antique shops, bookstores, outdoor music festivals, horseback riding, sitting on the porch watching a storm, cuddling, and romance.. I love to grow plants. I wrote and published a children's book. And I've had five photographs published.

I'm equally comfortable at a black tie affair or a backyard BBQ. I'm easy-going and down-to-earth with a good sense of humor. I love reading, mostly non-fiction history and comparative religious studies. I'm not into politics and consider myself spiritual, not religious.

I enjoy classic rock music, jazz, blues, classical, and some country. I have a six-year-old chocolate lab, her name is Bella. Big, big plus if you have a dog.

I'm a Veteran, was in the Navy stationed at a submarine base in Washington State. I'm still in touch with my best friend from high school. I have no baggage and I do not get into drama Life should be enjoyed.

I enjoy travel - would love to go to Europe one day. Never been on a cruise - would love to do that as well. You should have an excellent sense of humor and can laugh easily.

Deal breaker - recovering alcoholics or ex-drug addicts. Sorry, just being honest.
