Recently relocated from NY to N Florida. Sunshine , beach life suits me. Lost my sweet husband of 18 years, knew him 26, after his battle with kidney disease. Not looking to rush into anything. I’m outgoing, independent and very secure with myself. I have a wonderful HS senior son who is my greatest blessing. I love kids and enjoy helping them overcome their struggles. I’ll explain more when we meet. Looking to make new friends and leave the rest in Gods hands. I’m a Christian raised Italian Catholic ,guilt and all, lol. I have a great appreciation for good food, Can cook or bake anything and enjoy multi-cultural foods. Love traveling, especially cruising, hope to do more in the near future, Bucket list includes , Ireland, English country side, Luxor,Greece & Sicily. Museums, historical places and re-enactments , art festivals, beaching, boating ( have US Coast Guard boat safety training) star watching are a few favorite things. Hoping to eventually share the next chapter with a compatible soul with the similar interests and values. Life is too short and precious not to share and it. What appeals to me : An honest, very well groomed, educated, secure, fun loving, gentleman (close to my age) with good values a zest for life, loves trying and learning new things and has an appreciation of the finer things in life. Theres an old expression: Be careful what you ask for!
