Date men and women from Canada / Alberta / Olds, 60 year old

Date a soulmate from Alberta, Canada. My work takes me to a lot of places and I am away frequently..I care for my family deeply and have a great time with them.. As far as personal relationships well to start with dating and check things out go from there no pressure for anyone right.

Meet people from Alberta, Canada. I'm a strong, independent, self-sufficient, compassionate, loving woman, looking for a good friend, and maybe in time, a love.
I love animals, mother nature, conversation, dining out, travel, the arts in all forms, and a really good joke. I am game for most adventures as long as it does not involve carrying a 40 pound pack on my back.
I'm looking for someone to share experiences with. Someone who is kind, good natured, hard working, though can appreciate just sitting back and looking at life.
Life has handed me some curves, but I feel I have grown from all of it. I am independant, hard working, passionate. I smoke and have tried quitting, to no avail. Maybe someday, but not today. I enjoy a good taste of wine, a really good scotch once in awhile, herbal teas, and good strong coffee. My preferred beverage by far is water.
What you do, is not important. It is who you are that is. Someone who would never control another, but rather be supportive and considerate, is what I find makes a great person. Someone who is sure of themself, and likes who they are.
I once described myself as a dicotomy, sometimes strong, sometimes weak. I can cry and then be strong willed and not let it get to me.
I raised my children on my own, and in order to do so, got a better education so I could earn a better living. Being all to my kids was not an easy task, but the rewards were plentiful. Now I have 6 beautiful granddaughters, my greatest reward for being a mother.
My friends say I am talkative, adventuresome, talkative (oh I already mentioned that). Friendship is near and dear to me. I have been and always will have my friends backs. In my life time it seems my friends have been more men then women, largely due to being a tomboy as a youth. The few woman that have been my friends for over 40 years, are the greatest women I know. One is picture wih me, and we go back to grade 9.
I am seeking this path because the old ways don't work for me anymore. Where do all the people my age go to meet new people? There are a few Blues bars that seem to attract an older crowd and I love to beat the younger (and older) guys in a game of pool.
If anyone out there can see fit to taking a risk ...... I am worth it.
UPDATE:
I have been on my first meeting. Great guy! I confess, I want that spark. That will tell me I am on the right path. This is a learning experience. And I now know what I want, just need to find my way. Who out there is finding there way? I delete all winks from foreign countries of, which USA is one.
