Lauriestrong, 85

I am a healthy, reasonably attractive and energetic, mostly retired professional (psychiatric social worker) returning to her youthful passion for art and equally enlivened by the music of Rachmaninov and Bruce Springsteen. I want to share laughter, conversation, movies, food, maundering walks along trails and beaches, insights, confusions, music, image and color, gardens, and the rest of the human condition with new friends of either gender, and if it's to be, with a caring male partner. I don't drink or dope, but have friends in Recovery. Am spiritually eclectic. I adore my adult children and am raising one of my grandsons, now age 15 and a good kid working on being an Eagle Scout. And I am looking forward to hearing from others who, like me, find themselves in retirement with more time to pursue freindships and develop a relationship.
