Date men and women from Canada / Alberta / Didsbury, 63 year old

Date someone special from Alberta, Canada. When the rich rob the poor it is called business. When the poor fight back its called violence.
There is no baggage for you to carry on my behalf. I am a hard working woman who is proud of where I am in my life today, my career, family and who I have evolved into as a woman, mother, grandmother and as a partner. I have excitement in my life with working overseas, and consider myself well traveled. I have seen the worst in society and humanity. I am soft, I am hard and I am brave. Warning ALERT! Mess with me or my family and friends and I must confess that the bear claws come out. That is the hard side. Softly speaking; I want to love again, I am gentle,have been known to crack some great jokes, enjoy the simpler things in life such as art, music, good books, a warm kitty on my lap (dogs will do also but it will have to be yours), and I can also feel your head on my lap as we enjoy a shut-in weekend, reading or listenting to music, or getting out and about either in the mountains or along a trickling creek in the country. I am very visual, love photography, painting, drawing, always vigilent of sunrises, sunsets, stormy skies, breezy fields, the newborn colt running beside his mother, or the calf and its patient mother standing by to feed on demand. I welcome the smell of the earth and rain, lightening as it spreads across the sky while sitting in the dark on my deck enjoying the light show. I love the sound of kids as they play. I want to hug and be hugged, I want to hold and be held. I believe in equality, tolerance, compassion, sensitivity, understanding, diversity, humility, standing up for rights - mine and others.
I am NOT looking for Mr. Perfect, because I am far from that myself, BUT I am looking for Mr. Right. Face it, you and I are getting up there in years! If you are looking for arm candy, too bad, I am warm apple pie. If you have a six pack of abs, I applaud you for your efforts but please, I am not there. My exercise regimen is playing in the dirt, getting my fingernails so dirty that the only way to clean them is trimming them back. I love to race after my grandkids in the park, roll in the grass or skate with them on a frozen pond. I love sports, I cheer for anyone who makes a good play, shot; not just for the home team. As a mom of two very athletic sons I have been to more baseball, football fields, hockey rinks than the average gal, and enjoyed every minute of it. I have worked the chains on a football field and kept score in the dugout for the ball team. I have eaten a silk worm to experience the Chinese culture and had camel while breaking the Ramdan Fast in a Saudi household while sitting on the floor using our fingers as we dipped into saffron rice. If any of this rambling interests you, let me know. If you never try, you will never know.
