I am a honest, caring, trustworthy and down to earth man who believes in the sanctity of a relationship. I have raised two children to adulthood on my own and I am family orienated. I love the outdoors. I am usually up on the hip things to do-festivals, concerts, fine restaurants etc. I am focused on my talents, family and interest. I DO NOT party, I prefer to live in the country or small town over the city. ~ I enjoy hunting,jogging(4-8miles-easy),gardening,auctions,garage sales,morel hunting,writing poetry,artwork,walking/hiking with the one I care for, the hot tub,weekend adventures,family, the G.B.Packers,festivals,art shows,selling on ebay,live music(blues) . I love concerts and the ambience that they create. ~ I don't enjoy shopping, but I do dress well and have a certain weakness for sharp clothes... I am not one to measure the beauty or depth of someone by how much they own, money they make, or any certain status. Spiritually speaking the humble and gracious are the most beautiful.I have the strength of character, principles, code of ethics to wait for the right woman. I am independent, a one woman man and a family man and am open to dating a single mother. I enjoyed raising my kids and am very involved with my granddaughters. I believe life is more precious when you have someone to share it with. We truly discovery ourselves when in a relationship...I believe that to be true...If left alone we would think we are great the way we are. It takes a relationship to bring out the best in us.

What a sight for my eyes
to see you in sleep.
Could it stop the sun rise
hearing you weep?
You're not seen, you're not heard
but I stand by my word.
Came a thousand miles
just to catch you while you're smiling.

What a day for laughter
and walking at night.
Me following after, your hand holding tight.
And the memory stays clear with the song that you hear.
If I can but make
the words awake the feeling.

What a reason for waiting
and dreaming of dreams.
So here's hoping you've faith in impossible schemes,
that are born in the sigh of the wind blowing by
while the dimming light brings the end to a night of loving.

l am looking for someone who appreciates nature and all its glory, who prefers life outside the city, but who also is hip to whats going on, who can dress up for a night out, some live music, fine dining or something cultural. And come the day being willing to go hiking/jogging/walking, an auction, sun bathe or see where the road takes us and the pavement ends.
Peace and tranquility!
