Outgoing female with a streak of geek & a dash of redneck seeks female friend(s) who are crafty, funny, compassionate, and fun-loving - with a little bit of crazy mixed in.

Looking for like-minded female friends ages 30-65. Really - just friends.

About me: 55 y.o., married, caucasian, sarcastic/dry sense of humor, down to earth, moderate conservative, moderate drinker, currently smoke cigarettes but am trying hard to quit. I only smoke outside and am very considerate of keeping my smoke away from others.

Hobbies: horseback riding (have horse & trailer), pottery (handbuilding & wheel), gardening, boating, fishing, karaoke, thrift store & garage sale shopping, canning, welding, garden art, building things, & pretty much anything else that is creative or gets my hands dirty. :)

I also enjoy going out for drinks, swapping jokes (especially the naughty ones), playing card games, or just "shootin' the breeze."

I have had a lot of stress in my life for the last decade or so and am looking to get back to my slightly nutty, mostly fearless, and fun-loving true self. I am a very loyal person who is there through good times and bad and I would really like to make a friend who is the same way. Give and take - not just take.

If you have similar interests and would like to get together just drop me a line.

Please - no weirdos - this is a genuine attempt to make friends with other women who share my interests

I am a creative person who loves building anything. I do pottery, metal sculpture, and anything else creative that strikes my fancy. Very much a can-do person. I also have a strong science background. Other interests include books, movies, crochet, embroidery, puzzles, card games and board games, horseback riding, and motorcycle riding. I have my own pottery studio and workshop. I also have a horse that doesn't get ridden nearly enough and a motorcycle that doesn't get ridden nearly enough. I would love to find another rider to hang out with.
In addition, I am a very empathetic person who finds myself spending most of my time calming other people or helping them find solutions. I love doing this, but I'm finding that it is mostly one-sided. I would love to connect with a similar minded person who is willing to give support and not just receive it.
