I think everyone would love to have someone special to go to interesting and pretty places with and do some fun things with--I know that is true for me! I would love to hike, travel, take a long walks, watch a sunset, or just sit by the fire sipping wine. The kind of man I am looking for will embrace life, laugh, have a good sense of humor, and will leave the past in the past. He will be compassionate toward others, and will lend a helping hand; he will be kind, loving, and respectful toward me. He will know the value of family and friendship. We will first become good friends.

I am a hardworking woman who is a retired educator. I am like many in that I "used to live somewhere else". I am a mid-westerner who raised four wonderful kids that have in turn, blessed me with seven brilliant grandchildren.:)

I share my home with two beautiful English Springer Spaniels. They are a good excuse to exercise several times a day. I like having fun with them.

My faith is also a very important part of my life. I attend church almost every Sunday and I try to help others.

I enjoy cooking and baking. I love looking up new recipes on the Internet and "trying" them just for fun. I also enjoy entertaining friends and family. It also would be fun to include someone special in my life, someone who will share a meal, enjoy soft candlelight, and listen to gentle music on a quiet evening. Another way to relax and have fun is to dine out, go to a concert, or movie.

The bottom line of why I think we are all here is to develop a solid day-to-day relationship--first a friendship, then maybe something more serious. Perhaps those qualities for a lasting relationship include love, patience, respect, laughter, and friendship. Thanks for stopping by to see me.

My idea of fun is varied. It could be a quiet evening at home with a glass of wine, it could be going out to dinner with friends or/and family, it could be seeing a play or sporting event, it could be taking a walk with my dogs.

The kind of man I am looking for will leave the past in the past. He will be compassionate toward others, and will lend a helping hand; he will be kind, loving, and respectful toward me, yet have a great sense of humor—he will become my best friend and I in turn will be his best friend.
