I am ... retired from over 30 years as a brewery technical manager working and living in various locations across Canada. Upon retiring, life took an unexpected turn and so took a big leap of faith, significantly downsized, and moved to Ottawa to be with aging family. So here I am trying to make lemonade! I enjoy varied interests such as getting outdoors to hike/walk/snowshoe, cycle, canoe; reading, learning, new experiences, movies, friends, conversation, relaxing and making the best of each day.

Meet a soulmate from Canada. I've decided that my brief and very, very concise write-up was quite lame, so I'm trying to be more creative. I could write a poem, or a little ditty, extolling my virtues and hidden talents, or I could list all of the clever things that I have done in my life. Perhaps, I could have all of my friends write testimonials to my fabulous personality and stunningly good looks, or ask my family to lie about how perfect I am (isn't that what family members do?). Maybe my neighbours would be kind enough to tell you all about my generosity and helpfulness, or my grandson would explain just how great I was as a hockey coach, especially as a goalie coach, and my granddaughter could tell you that I am a great movie-watching companion. Then, again, my students could inform you that I am a little nutty and laugh a lot, especially after smelling the whiteboard markers! However, if you had to read all of that, then you'd never get moving and find yourself someone fun to be with, and I certainly wouldn't wish to impede your search. So, I'll just have to say that I'm worth meeting, even if it is just as a friend.

Date a woman from Canada. I am a recovering parent who is about to become an empty nester, only 3 weeks 2 days and several hours left:). My son has turned out to be a wonderful young man. I am now ready for the next phase of my life to begin with that special someone. I am friendly, bubbly, courteous, and affectionate. I believe in being open and honest….so I must add here that I am not someone who will stay up all night dancing or hanging out. I love mornings and the sound of birds. I love nature and cottage life is heaven to me; boating and kayaking are great fun! I love to cook, go for walks, play cards, movies (especially on a big screen). I love being spontaneous, cuddling on the couch, soft kisses and spooning. I have travelled a lot since retiring and hope to do more. The man I hope to meet: loves to travel, is loving, caring, kind and has an understanding of what a woman needs to feel loved. He enjoys the occasional glass of wine with dinner and will cook for me when I need to feel pampered….even if it's just throwing a frozen pizza in the oven ;). I think a quality relationship is worth working on. It takes time to learn what makes us each feel loved. A good relationship should bring a sense of belonging, of acceptance and one of being blessed.

. I have a wide range of interests and I enjoy learning. I'm open to trying my hand at new things. Seems like IРІР‚в„ўve always been taking new courses over the past 25 years, for interest (eg. astrology, cooking classes, tarot cards, Ukrainian egg painting) and formal education. I just graduated from the Sommelier program at Algonquin (8 courses and lots of interesting wines) - I love wine, cooking and food & wine pairing.
I love the city and all the things it has to offer - movies, ethnic restaurants, cafes, live theatre, etc. I also enjoy getting away from the city – to a cottage, spa, day trips and getaway weekends. I like to keep physically active through some form of exercise - yoga, the gym, exercise dance classes, walking, and golf (although I need to get out to play more often). Hot yoga is my latest activity. I like to read but only seem to be able to do so when I go away on vacation – too busy managing a business and a house. I would love to get back into playing bridge. I also like board games, word games and scrabble.
I have travelled a fair bit and would like to do some more travelling to new destinations to experience new places and cultures but the older I get, I must admit, I do like my creature comforts when I travel. I also love just being by the ocean – walking the beaches, listening to the seagulls and the surf. Being by the ocean is my �happy place’.
I had a long career in a hospital setting and now, almost equally long, in health care in the private sector.
IРІР‚в„ўve been a single mother of 3 daughters since 2002 - two have graduated from university and are pursuing their own course in life and one is still at home, going to university in Ottawa.
I would like to meet a man who is honest, kind, trust worthy and generous, with a good sense of humour. A handy man, someone who is financially secure, and someone who loves to cook and entertain are desirable qualities. It’s important he has his own interests as well as the two of us having mutual interests. I’m not interested in a man who is needy or dependent. And sorry, I don’t do someone else’s ironing. I do love hugs and kisses, holding hands and cuddling. Starry nights, roaring fires, massages and candlelight are definitely romantic. You can never have too much romance but it doesn’t need to be overdone – simple gestures can be romantic because they say you care and I’m in your thoughts. It goes two ways. ?

. Life is all about living and enjoying it with someone special. Enjoy everyday as if it were your last. Good friends and family are important. I love to laugh and smile and just missing that special person to share what life has to offer. I have many interests, enjoy being outdoors and traveling and am active. I'm comfortable in jeans but love to dress up as well. I am an independent person who is not into playing games with anyone. I can be very opinionated but also listen to what others have to say. I can be zany but also have my quiet times too. I give people a fair chance until proven otherwise. Honesty is the best policy because eventually the lies come back and bite you so as you may see I'm all about honesty. No picture no response. If I'm willing to share pictures and be honest so should you. If you've been on this system for a long time then you must be looking for Ms. Perfect and we all know that no one is perfect and you are just too picky. Why not take a chance with this hopeless romantic who's looking to share life with someone who really cares.

. I enjoy life and I appreciate good company. I have lived and traveled in Europe for a long time.
I have recently moved to Ottawa and I am starting to find my way around. I like movies, plays, long walks along the canal... I am looking for friendship, someone mature, well educated who likes to travel.

. Creative, insightful and imaginative, I hope to discover a match who is equally expansive in thoughts and ideas and who doesnРІР‚в„ўt mind colouring outside the lines in life on occasion. I love the exploration of new ideas, innovative thoughts, creative processes and the like through open communication. I am very expressive and thoughtful in this regard.
I tend to pursue those activities that calm the soul and create balance in my life, from being among nature, taking walks, practising yoga and simply enjoying a pleasant coffee break. I donРІР‚в„ўt require much to make me happy. Sometimes, all I need is the simple quiet and stillness of my house.
Having been on my own for a while, I am proud of how much I have learned and the independence I have acquired. I have amazing relationships with my children and share in open and honest communication with them regularly.
When we first meet, you will probably notice my warm, upbeat and friendly personality, along with my infectious smile. I like to make others feel right at home when they are with me.
As a partner, I endeavor to be very loyal, compassionate, empathetic, and understanding. My quick wit and curious intelligence lend themselves well to dialogues of depth and meaning, yet my fun and playful sense of humor is never far behind. I hope to meet a man of similar personality and tenacity.
What I admire in a partner is one who presents with a nice appearance and style, although not in an overly-conservative way. His presentation defines who he is and he also brings to the equation a sense of humor, a sense of purpose, a sense of self, and a sense of adventure.
I appreciate a man for whom kindness is an instinct and whose sincere respect for others can be heard in his voice and seen in his actions.
I am interested in meeting a like-minded man to add to the experience of enjoying life!

. funny, independent, capable competent, good listener, loyal, a good friend to have. like to try out french reciped but picky eater,sentimental, does not pull her punches and doesn't suffer fools gladly. somewhat of a homebody but also enjoys pubs with music, exploring antiques/flea markets.
Some qualities I value are humor, honesty, self.reliance, respect for self and others, dependability,indepence, the ability to focus and relax as the situation calls for, sense of both fun and FairPlay.. I appreciate a friendly, outgoing nature and a genuine interest in others but not a party animal.
I am not a fitness fanatic or sports fanatic. I am not competitive with others so being a strictly fair weather, cart driving golfer suits me.. I don't hike or bike . I used to paddle war canoes in racing regattas and love to be on or in the water.
I like to travel, more the being there rather than the getting there. For short stays in winter I like to find summer in other places. For extended holidays I can spend hours or weeks wandering the streets og Paris, London , Florence and days or weeks exploring the country towns and villages of Europe. Fantasy trips include The Orient Express, an African Safari and Narrow boat drifting leisurely through villages and towns in Europe. Other than the first night or two I prefer not to book places in advance.
While I value education I also value cleverness, ingenuity and quick wittedness. I respect for those who like to work with their hands and those who work with their brains or any combination of both.
I really enjoy going to a wonderful restaurant for dinner but it would fast lose it's appeal if it was on a regular basis. I like finding good family run places, good greasy spoons and chip wagons.
I am not really a joiner as such and value a small group of good friends to socialize with over a large number of acquaintances. I am a smoker and while I don't rule it out entirely, I don't know if I will ever be a reformed smoker. It is pointless to pretend otherwise.
I am not looking for someone to mold into some image of who I think they should be and certainly don't want anyone to want to change me.
I am not fastidious and live in my house but I do like it when it is clean and tidy rather than preserved.

. So I am single at present and looking for someone who would be interested to share whatever life has in store. Some shared interests and some of our own interests would be a good blend
I believe in keeping active and healthy, have my own business in a health care field and would like to meet a man that also likes to be active and takes care of himself. I have no set image of who you are but seek an open mind, a vigorous man, a kind personality, and someone reliable.
I read that middle age is when your broad mind and your narrow waist change places. I am working on that one!!! It would be wonderful to meet someone that shares my love of tennis, rare to find someone that rows or likes swing dancing, but I live in hope.
I have travelled a lot ,except in recent years when parenting and work took priority. Now that my son is independent it would be fun to get back into travelling.
