| I am a 55 year old Widow looking for a friend and companion.

I was married for 39 years to the same man. We lived in Alaska for 28 years. I moved down here in the Everett area first and he followed me. Our last few years together were not the best. But he was always was my best friend and I miss our arguments. I miss being needed. I need a purpose in life and need to share my ups and downs with someone. Someone to hold my hand and tell me it is going to be alright. I am looking to fall in love that is important to me, romance, my first was not at all, we were high school sweethearts expected to get married and we did. Raised two sons in Alaska, one is doing great and still lives in Alaska, my other son lives with me now but in October, he is getting a job up there and will be moving there. So I am getting prepared to be alone and I don’t do very well being alone. I need to be needed. I like to cook when there is someone there to appreciate it. Not great on house work. I have a very clean house, but would love to afford a house-keeper.
I lost my job due to downsizing at Snohomish County and have been collecting unemployment for about 5 months now. I heard I could get 2 more extensions which will let me stay home for about a year. I live in a very nice 3 bedroom mobile home overlooking a creek. It Is very private and I had a 12 x 3 ft pool out there all summer and worked on my tan. My home is paid for so all I have to pay for is the rent, car payment, car insurance and electricity. I am doing OK so far.
I am going to California next week for 10 days for my nephew’s wedding, I am going to drive. Take my time and enjoy myself. Going all the way down to San Diego, to see the zoo and the beaches. I love the ocean; I feel the peace of God presence there.
I am fairly healthy, however I am a smoker and I and going to try to quit when I return from my trip. Just can’t afford it anymore.
I am a star wars fan as you can see in some of my photos. I live to go out to dinner and eat oysters on the half shell and have a good steak. I love lobster and Alaska King Crab. I watch a lot of TV, I have a 61 inch Pioneer with a great surround sound system, makes watching movies better that going to the theater.
I graduated from Queen Anne high school in 1972 and married that same year. I am not an athletic type person; don’t do hiking or mountain climbing. I do like to fish, but don’t know where to go, I love a good trout dinner and King Salmon is my favorite, I got spoiled living in Alaska.
There is one stipulation about the person I would like to meet and I will not negotiate this in anyway. Now I like a good glass of wine with my dinner but that is it. I don’t need or want to take care of an alcoholic or a drug addict. My husband was both and left me with nothing to fend for myself. I am a strong woman, but enough is enough, I want a normal sober life and truly I don’t know what that kind of life will be like, but it has to be a lot more pleasant than what I had to endure for so many years. I hope to go back to work after the first of the year, that is when they will lift the hiring freeze and I am at the top of the rehire list for 2 years.
Anyway, that is briefly what I am all about. I am a simple woman, not high maintenance, and I think I still have what a man may want in a woman. I am laid back; I do not get angry, life if too short to waste on arguing. If I think of anything else I can always add it to this letter. Bye Bye for now, hope prince charming reads this letter and sweeps me off my feet.
Sincerely,
Melanie
