I am a retired high school math and computer science teacher. I live close to my children and grandchildren. Just looking to make new global friends to learn more about other places. I have been doing some traveling and looking for new places to see. I love plants, working in my yard, reading, wood working, painting, community service, cooking as well as traveling. I would love to trade recipes. I would consider myself fairly conservative and live in a small old mining town in northern California where a large percentage of the population has been here for generations.
