Need a friend

Je sais parler

Anglais

Je me décrirais comme

I am a 56 year old woman who has always been a happy girl and young at heart. I lost the love of my life recently, and am looking for a friend to talk to who has recently had a similar experience.
I am a bit unconventional, sort of the younger sister of hippies. I graduated from high school in 1975 from a private school in Atlanta called Woodward Academy. I value intelligence and education, though I got married young and didn't finish my college education. I have been a software trainer and creator of e-Learning materials for my entire career.
I love music. I love the Beatles. I have a spiritual side. I'm doing my best to lean on God in this trying time, but I'm not fond of conventional religion.
I love people and tend to believe in the best in people, but I can't tolerate dishonesty. I don't like phony people. Being straight and down to earth is just something that should be normal. I am prideful sometimes to a fault, but I admire men who carry themselves with a sense of pride without being arrogant. I love southern gentlemen, which unfortunately seems to be a dying breed. Many of my best friends throughout my life have been men, as I often find women to be gossipy and catty.
If you are looking for a lover or a one night stand, look elsewhere. I don't think I'm quite ready for that.
I am a Scorpio if that means anything. Very black and white, which I'm not always proud of.
I have 3 grown sons and 2 beautiful step-daughters, also grown. I have 2 beautiful granddaughters, ages 2 & 4. My family is everything to me, and my kids are my best friends. If you don't love children and dogs, there must be something wrong with you! ;-)
If this sounds like a situation you are familiar with or have experienced, if you too have lost your love, and if you too are grieving, lonely, and looking for a friend, then let's be friends.

Mon idée du fun

Going to a lake house for a weekend, Making music with my family in the garage, Telling stories and laughing with friends. Going to a new town without previous plans - exploring, finding where the locals hang out, talking to new people. Going to a music festival. Lying on the beach reading and sipping a cold drink. Playing board games. Going on vacation. Dancing. Seeing a good concert. Doing something I've never done before with a companion.
