This really doesn't get any easier, does it? Oh, well..........

Although I cannot imagine taking another trip down the aisle, I do know that I am interested in a long-term relationship. Caring about someone puts the icing on the cake of life (chocolate, with PB icing, preferred!). Sure, I enjoy walks on the beach, and road trips on the spur of the moment, and thunder storms, and animals, and music, and dancing.......I also enjoy relaxing with a good movie or book, going out with friends, flea markets, yard sales - the simple pleasures. I own my own home, two black cats (the broom stays in the closet), and do fine spending time on my own, although that's just not as much fun!

I live near West Chester, PA but visit the Lehigh Valley frequently as my son and best friend live there. We often spend time at either a local club in Bethlehem or the fire hall near my friend's, having a few beers, maybe some nachos, playing shuffleboard, and just hanging out. I'm quite comfortable in jeans and a tee but clean up reasonably okay, too.

Would love to have a twinkle in my heart and eyes because of a special feeling toward someone, and would like to do the same for him. Have also realized, as have so many of you, that sometimes there is a chemistry, and sometimes there just ain't. There are some things we know we can't do without, and other things which are negotiable. Honesty and a sense of humor rank high on my list of not negotiable.

Yes, I do smoke - and have pretty much decided that a non-smoker would not be interested in getting to know me; but if you feel otherwise, shout out.

a cup of coffee or a beer, with a burger or nachoes, at an easygoing social club or restaurant. Spend some time to chat and exchange some bits of our life stories but mostly to see if there that's "click" which would make us want to get to know each other better.
