About Me

My heart is on the trail between jagged, snow-capped peaks and rushing waters. Call me a determined optimist. I believe passionately in leaving a better world. I am spirited, smart, inquisitive, happily feminine, fit, passionate, and active. I’;Be joyful despite the facts." Among the identities I’ve worn and enjoyed are journalist, Congressional policy aide, and teacher. Being "mom" has been my most cherished role, and though that work is largely done, the pleasure of independent adult sons remains.For me, one kind of perfect day is a hike during the river roar of snowmelt just as tender lilies shoot up through the last glints of winter. I carry paper scraps and scribble notes for stories and poems. Then they go through the wash forgotten in my pockets but somehow, I remember key words. And pictures are indeed worth a thousand, so I *** clouds above tree line and between ridges. Share with me what brings awe to your life. I seek a co-conspirator for adventures, romance, comedy and laughter, delight, and trying on ideas. We all have tall wish lists. A few on mine: I want you to be smart, passionate, emotionally available, adventurous, kind, interested in personal growth, physically fit, and able to see the humor in life. Ideally, we are both lifelong learners. But not perfect ;-)I'm really looking for a best friend with whom I share playful, intellectual, physical and emotional chemistry. In my thinking, best friends do things together--apart, and sometimes separate things side by side. Though I can and do wear velvet gowns and enjoy a dressy night out--see photos, I'm most comfy in denim. I’m a passionate explorer and am hoping to meet someone with passions and experiences both similar and different than mine. There are many places and things I’ve yet to experience. For example, I'd enjoy learning to snowboard or ski. I am comforted standing next to glaciers that make me feel small. If you lose me on the trail, chances are I’ve found the perfect womb in an ancient tree to nest in.If you have a kayak or canoe, bonus points. If you can reteach me to flyfish or might learn with me, more bonus points. I adore being read to. Semi-sweet chocolate or a hand-picked bouquet will delight me. I love the city, too--plays, music, comedy, fine dining, etc. Yet if I had to choose between mountains and skyscrapers, I'd stop in the city on the way to or from the peaks. I can live in either the wilds or the city, and like to be reasonably close to both. Travel is a must here and there--that's part of the experience v. stuff.Being playful brings balance as I make my living with my head. Of course, all the usual apply. I cry at movies where the dog grows old and dies. You’ll find me enjoying all varieties of film, and I’m not above renting children’s movies that make me laugh. History fascinates me. I can root for the Seahawks win or lose. Good thing, huh?I’m very much a grown-up and still like stuffed animals that squeak. Though I'd love it if you lived next door already, I cannot be flexible on those four "chemistry" qualities, so I'm open to a wee bit of distance, as my work and life have some flexibility.--depends on cards in the next hand.I wish you the best. Let's chat about favorite people and journeys, walk and talk, and be ready for the possibility of magic. At the same time, I'm always open to new friendships--so "no pressure" on a first date is important.

    I love the outdoors. In the summer I can usually be found riding my Seadoo on the river with my dogs. Now that the weather is getting cooler I look forward to snow skiing, and a warm fire. My hobbies include horses, skydiving, ATV's, hiking, cooking, painting (murals), crafts, a little bit of computer graphics and gaming. I have a 21 yr. old daughter that lives at home (she's a student). I am known for my resiliency, but I'm not looking to test it. I'm not big on guys that wear suits and ties, as I can usually be found in jeans and cowboy boots. I am looking for someone I can connect with on a personal level, not someone who tries to pretend they're perfect. Let's face it they're are "No" perfect people. I enjoy cooking, and love it when I get help with the dishes. I'm not rich, just comfortable. I'm a homeowner, responsible and happy in my skin. I'm just a bit bored and thought I would give this a try. I have no time for drama or demanding people with control issues. Sincere guys only, no players, liars, married men, or losers. I enjoy laughing a lot, and I'm not afraid to sing Karaoke, or laugh out loud..

    Looking for my ‘partner-in-crime’.........A riding companion....A best friend......A confidant........A dance partner........I’m an independent, confident, easy going person out to find my new best friend.You probably should like to dance, if we’re out and the music is playing, I’ll be the first on the dance floor, and possibly the last off.Going out for dinner, or staying in cooking – it doesn’t really matter as it’s all about the company you keep that makes the experienceIf you own a motorcycle – all the better – I love the open road, wind blowing in your face, riding nowhere in particular, it’s not about the destination but all about the ride – riding is one of my passions – it doesn’t get any better than that. There’s a saying “Only a biker knows why a dog hangs his head out of the car window” – how true it is!At the end of day, if you have your health and you’re happy, that’s all that really matters.P.S.: Drop me a message if interested. A "wants to me you" notification will not likely get a reply from me.If you seriously want to meet, send me a message, say hi, make some comment to show interest."Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - strawberries in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO, What a Ride" A first meet 'n greet over a drink and see what happens
