Hello, I'm new to NW Arkansas. I grew up in rural Oklahoma, and I lived in the Dallas area for 21 years. I guess you can say that I'm an eclectic mix of city and country. I'm world traveled and educated, but I still know how to bait a hook and work in the garden. I've won awards for my cooking. I love all kinds of animals. I love being outdoors, hiking, enjoying the beautiful Ozark landscape. I stand in awe of nature. I enjoy all kinds of music, especially live music. Those who see my MP3 player think I'm nuts because I have everything you can imagine on there. Sports are great, I root for the Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Stars, and OU Sooners. My sense of humor has been called outrageous, but I'm never cruel or hurtful. What impresses me the most - your sense of humor, your kindness and warmth, your integrity. What I care least about - how much money you have, how perfect your body is, what kind of vehicles you own or how big and grand your house is. If you are tired of games, and want to meet someone who is real, then give me a shout!

A good first date would most likely be short. Let's meet for coffee or lunch, and just chat for a hour or so. Or let's take a walk near one of the lakes. Second date - let's go hiking in Devil's Den or spelunking. Third date - how about I make you a nice candlelit dinner? Spending a lot of money does not impress me. Using your imagination does.
