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.

    We remember the past to learn from it, not to live in it. (my personal quote....I feel like Ghandi :) )I keep fishing, but all I'm catching are frogs.I like swimming, tennis, and bicycling when the weather is warm. I love hunting...for bargains, that is. But don't get me wrong, I can resist a BOGO sale if I don't need one in the first place. I also enjoy concerts and movies. Make me laugh and I'll probably return the favor.People from 4 hours away say it's too far a distance. Is this just an excuse *** saying, "Not interested"? Or are they really that short-sighted? Why are they online if they're only looking in their little pond? There's a whole ocean out there.So many guys on here are so good at stating the obvious: "Looking for a good hearted woman." - really? Do you think a woman will recognize that she has an evil heart & let you know that? "Looking for someone who is real" - hmmmm....I thought guys were here for robots."I don't know how to describe myself." - yeah...I see that.Men & women alike say, "My kids are my life." Are you trying to convince people that you are a good parent? Or are you saying, "You must take your place behind my kids"? Just wondering about that...Should you not be able to contact me here, I'm on meetville ...Marla NWow! Now I can't even respond to a message from Markus because I'm too OLD?!?! My dad was 15 years older than my mother & no one ever accused him of being a perv. Not only that, because of this I can't communicate with friends here, BUT I have had 2 dates with men whom I found out were MARRIED! Markus...ur failing, buddy! Sorry...ranting bc I'm freaking mad! (we'll see if this gets my profile deleted) Something that would allow us to get to know one another. I don't have to be impressed with anything but your personality.

    It is next to impossible to summarize who one truly is in a profile such as this, but I will try to hit some of the high points. First, I can assure you I am not like most women. I am all "Lady", but can also be a bit of a tomboy. There's not much I won't try (unless it involves jumping out of a perfectly good airplane or off a bridge with a rubber band around my ankle). I love animals of all kinds. I am a fairly quiet person until I get to know someone, but I am not shy. Once I get comfortable with someone, I am very outgoing. I love to laugh and have fun, and try to have fun in almost anything I do; but there is also a very serious side of me. I enjoy good music, of most genres but prefer country and blues (no rap, please). I am writing my first book. I also enjoy working out. I went through an extended period of time a few years ago which required me to put myself on the back burner and try to take care of everyone and everything else. I am now attempting to get back to the physical condition I was in before that chapter in my life by getting into a good, healthy work-out routine and eating right. Living healthy is important to me. I like to go out and have fun, but also enjoy spending time at home, relaxing, cuddling up with that someone special and watching a good movie. I believe a relationship between a man and a woman requires 100% dedication. I have been a Christian for 40 years. My relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, is my top priority. I am seeking a Christian man who has the same values. I would like to meet somewhere, for dinner or just coffee, and spend time talking to find out if there is any real chemistry.

    Hi there! My friends say I am friendly and outgoing once one gets to know me! I tend to be quiet and reserved at first. I am honest and trustworthy. Communication and just chatting about the days events is very important to me. Love the outdoors! I enjoy riding my motorcycle to work, sunday afternoon rides and on trips. Relaxing by the pool with a good book and glass of wine. An all inclusive in the winter, walking on the beach, meeting new people. I enjoy going out to dinner or cooking at home. I love to entertain. My friends are very important to me!! I like to try new things or old things. The music i frequently listen to now is new country. I like most music, oldies, 80's, rock, new music. I am looking for someone with the same values as me. I would like to start with a strong friendship and see where it goes from there!? If you have some of the same interests as me, give me a shout!! Thanks for reading my profile!Have a great day! Something simple..take a ride to a quiet restaurant or bar. Talk and get to know each other over a beverage or sandwich. In winter the car may be a better option! :) Open for suggestions...Surprise me!!!
