About Me

I'm a retired teacher. I had a second grade classroom for most of my career, but I also taught small groups from grades 1-8. Since retiring I have done volunteer work for the Humane Society (in the office) and the American Cancer Society (driving patients). I have also acquired some rental properties. Two of them were older homes which I renovated, doing as much work myself as I was able to. I really enjoy the creative process of envisioning a more practical, beautiful home, and then choosing the improvements, colors, and materials to make that a reality. My favorite renovation is now a vacation rental, and I loved being able to take the further step of decorating the home (on a budget!), refinishing furniture, sewing curtains and pillows, and creating artwork.I adore animals, especially my own dog and two cats, all of them rescues. I love going to movies, concerts, and live theater--all things that inspire us and connect us to the human race. I get a kick out of trying new foods and recipes and exploring new places. I enjoy reading and learning about many things, including nutrition and health. Finding a beautifully written book is a real thrill. I enjoy a wide variety of music, from classical to pop--pretty much anything but heavy metal or rap.--Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Mama Mia, etc. I love hiking, as long as I can take my time. Climbing to the top of Mount Aeneas this summer was such a treat. It offers ***degree views from what feels like the top of the world. I am positive, friendly, quiet, kind, dependable, playful, and down to earth. I love intelligent conversation and the sharing of thoughts and ideas. My viewpoint is usually liberal. I strongly believe in human rights, and in treating all others with respect and dignity regardless of race, religion, sexual preference, or personal choices. I was raised Lutheran, and later attended Methodist and non-denominational churches. Although I no longer attend church, I continually strive to grow in my spiritual life. I have a broader view of God now and the connectedness of all creation. I am influenced by the works of Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, and Dr. Seuss.I’m looking for a genuine, gentle man with inner strength, who is relaxed and easy going, intelligent, fun to be with, open minded,. and respectful of all others. I want to find someone who laughs easily, but never at the expense of others, who feels childlike enthusiasm over life’s little pleasures, and who accepts me as I am, yet inspires me to be more. A good first date would offer opportunity for conversation.

    I'm blessed with a wonderful life. Passionate about my family, friends and God. Love my work. It's easy for me to talk with anyone. No matter what life throws at me, I'm grateful for all I have and wake up happy every day. I'm independant and secure. Not a game-player....with me, what you see is what you get. I have so much to give the man in my life .... respect, passion, honesty, support, love, hugs, fun, a true partner and best friend. Looking for a friendship that grows into a loving partnership. Do we have to know exactly who we're looking for? How will I know until I meet him? I do know I appreciate high-energy men who never stop learning and are willing to try new things. A bonus would be someone who would like to cook together (no, not a deal-breaker). I love to cook. Can't master the grill though. What I like to do: Entertain, cook, travel, stay busy, theater, concerts... I can keep writing in this profile, but I think it's best to *** chat to learn about each other and what we're looking for.I love to meet new people. If we meet and connect...great. Let's spend some time together and see where it goes. If not, it's still great. Let's have fun with it.Thanks for looking. I hope you all find what and who you are looking for! A simple, casual meeting with the opportunity to talk with each other and see if there's any interest in a second date.
