About Me

I'm a journalist and historian by training. I teach high school & have a son,17, who still lives at home.I love to keep busy and laughing. How?! Planning fun activities: beach, a good comedy at the movie theater, and a hearty belly laugh. I love to get silly. Don't get to do that enough--do you?!I don't watch much t.v., but I do like educational shows, history shows & good movies. Moreover, mornings with a good cup of coffee & the paper is nirvana. I am pretty simple when it comes down to it and I promise the same in return--to be joyful & lots of warm embraces.Traveling (have passport) is a passion and so is genealogical research. And I like working out at the gym, too, but haven't gotten back after I broke my foot because I know pain awaits.I am a Midwestern girl, so I like going to tractor pulls and fishing on ponds. I like to pick strawberries and husk corn. I like bonfires and weenie roasts (my fire pit or on the beach). Love to throw a party or do a "girls night out" at my house. I like to bowl, dance, walk and swim. Most other sports I am happy being a fan. I do drive a mean golf cart, though.My family, my job, learning new things are all high priority for me. I am just a woman who loves life! I love museums, too. One of my goals is to go back to Vatican museum someday. I love going to concerts and plays, too.Looking for that final date, but I am realistic (and yet believe God has plans for me), so, until then I would be satisfied with a dating partner; a committed companion -- or how about someone to have coffee with on Saturday morning first?!If he happens to be kind, honest, spiritual (to me that means a practicing Christian who attends church and likes it) and really a believer in Jesus.He must be totally monogamous-minded; employed (early retired would be considered), I like men who know their way around a tool box, and ideally, he would not only be dedicated but also "easy on the eyes" (oh, I do love the blue eyes and dimples--and I like BIG men, too).Well, if he's all that, then, I guess I might want more than coffee ;)I lost my teen-aged daughter to a brain tumor two years ago. So, no day is perfect. But Christ is my constant. It is He that I think of and cleave to and desire--looking forward to the day when we are all reunited. Oh, an ideal first date?!That would have to include not feeling too exposed...it is hard to put yourself out there for possible rejection.I enjoy laughing and good conversation. That's a good start.And if we're clicking, maybe we can decide to grab a bite to eat later. Burger Fy comes to mind.Don't be afraid to be impromptu.Oh, and make me want to kiss you goodnight...but make me wait. I like a little teasing! ;)

    Who better than your gay guy friend to read your profile and tell you that it is ordinary!!! No pressure here. First thing about me is that I am very quick witted and love to laugh. I appreciate that in my mate. I am a people person whether it is watching them or engaging in a conversation with complete strangers. Owning my own business has its challenges and I wear many hats. I am looking for a good excuse to escape.I have done some traveling and waiting for my next adventure whether it is a romantic cabin in the woods in front of a fire on a cool night or on the beach on some secluded island. There is nothing like exploring new places, finding a local restaurant to share a bottle of wine and native fare.I have two wonderful daughters. One lives in NYC and the other in high school. An empty nest is eminent and time for just me. That will be a switch. I have dedicated my time to make sure that I raised well round children and so far a have gotten an A. I am seeking a man who can communicate, is confident, trustworthy, decisive, has a great sense of humor (a must), is sensual, and romantic. Show me your eyes because they are the windows to the soul. I don't need a man but looking for companionship and friendship. So if this sounds interesting don't be shy.I know still ordinary but honest.....I just couldn't include that part about the whips and chains.Time is ticking much too quickly and shelve life expectancy is uncertain. “I make mistakes, I can be out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." —;Where there is love there is life" -Gandhi Meeting and seeing if there is a spark in each other's eyes and if we can make each other laugh. If so, great and if not, maybe a new friend.

    I am very easy going and independent. I make friends easily . I am comfortable in jeans or formal wear. The same goes for being in a big city or in the country. I am an honest, loyal and passionate person who is looking for the same. I enjoy the beach, music, food, wine, movies, a night on the town and quiet evenings at home. I like to plan but am very comfortable and being spontaneous. I have a serious side when necessary but also a great sense of humor. I am a very caring and kind person and would much rather give than receive. I like to have friends in for dinner. I am a gourmet cook. I stay up late and get up early. I have a lot of energy work out a lot. I am open to exploring new people and adventures. I enjoy attending outdoor festivals, all amusement parks, wine events, dancing, charity events, theatre, concerts, sporting events and comedy concerts. I wish I had more time to spend at beaches, lakes and streams. I have a zest for life. I believe that an open and honest communication are key to a sucessful relationship. I'm considere myself to be a "glass half full" type of person and try to always be thankful for what I have and enjoy every minute of life. I have made it through some hard things but I keep moving forward. The best place for a first date can be anywhere it is us spending the time together that is the key.
