I have a loving family and a great group of friends who enrich my life. I love living life to the fullest whether it be cooking, baking, traveling, going to the theatre, or to the movies. I love being outdoors and like to bicycle and walk.

I value a man with a sense of humor who enjoys doing a variety of things and who appreciates life. I live in the suburbs but enjoy doing things in the city.

I have traveled extensively but there are many places I would like to visit and I'd like to meet someone who wants to do the same.

My family consists of three children -- one son lives in Florida, another son lives in Washington, DC, and my daughter lives in the Chicago area. They are intelligent, fun, loving, caring people. I enjoy spending time with them.

I'd perfer a low key for a first date. Meeting for a drink or coffee -- getting to know one another would be my goal. From that meeting, we could determine interests and whether we would like to plan a future date.
