a little about me -- i am 55, 5'4" and 135 lbs. my hair color depends on the season, am a redhead for fall/winter and blonde for spring/summer. i have blue eyes (gray w/out the contacts) and in summer i have a nice tan. i enjoy the sun, travel, etc. have been to Hawaii, Dominican Republic, Aruba, Mexico, Las Vegas, Puerto Rico, etc. i am easy going and don't get angry over silly things. i am intelligent, so there will be a conversation. i am not picky - can go to a museum, get on the back of a Harley, dress up for a nice quiet dinner for two, go to Chili's or TGIF and sit at the bar with a beer and wings and watch a football game, or just stay home and enjoy the man in my life. at the moment i am not looking for marriage, but if it happens down the road, so be it. i really don't want anyone with young children; adult children and grandkids are great. [the 3 boys in the photo are my grandsons.] i prefer someone close to me as it is difficult for a long distance relationship to work, but won't rule distance out (within reason-3-4 hour plane ride is not reasonable). i will not respond to anyone young [20s 30s early/mid 40s] - just not my thing. i want someone mature and close to my age. and please have a pic -- you've seen me, i should be able to see you- no picture, no reply.
