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! ;)

    Woman. 53 years old. Zodiac sign: Scorpio.

    Looking for: man. In age: 50-60

    I'm a tall, slender brunette who is seeking a loving, down to earth gentleman. He should be tall, lean, confident and independent. Compassion and passion is a must. I am affectionate and honest, loyal and giving and want to find a man with the same qualiities. I exercise, spend time with friends, work hard and play sensibly. I'm easy going (almost to a fault). I love my kids, my job, my friends and family. I enjoy classic rock, cruising on the back of a bike, traveling, kayaking, cook-outs, mountains, walking a beach and just being me. Looking for someone who will make me laugh, make me feel special, a mature honest relationship.I could go on and on, but then what would we have to talk about.When contacting me, please have a current photo.I'm looking for the real deal.....no players....please!***Ok...online dating just doesn't seem to be working for me. Are there any gents out there that want a relationships with a loving, caring woman?? Anything casual and quiet where we can talk....One of the best 1st dates I went on was a picnic. Creative, yet subtle.

    Woman. 52 years old. Zodiac sign: Virgo.

    Looking for: man. In age: 49-59

    Serious and quiet, interested in security and peaceful living. Extremely well-developed senses, and aesthetic appreciation for beauty. Not interested in leading or controlling others. Flexible and open-minded. Likely to be original and creative. Enjoy the present moment... Extremely intuitive about people and perceptive of other's feelings.Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW, what a ride!"Anonymous
