Refined lady seeks LTR

I am a retired high school English teacher. I am very creative and artsy. I love all the arts. I have relocated to Houston after retiring from teaching in Canada, and after my Deaf daughter died at the age of 32 from rare lung diseases. I am a dual citizen. I have lived and taught in London, England, Houston, Texas, Phoenix, Arizona, and Vancouver, British Columbia. I am even-tempered, kind, intuitive, and loving. I have a great sense of humour and I love to laugh. I enjoy keeping healthy and I walk pretty much every day. I am hoping to meet someone who can match my intellect and temperament. I hope to make a real connection.
