A little about me...
I was a working single parent since my daughter was a year old (she's now 29 - and I'm a new grandmother)... have had a couple of relationships - one for a number of years - but I've never remarried or lived with anyone, so I'm not one to jump into a serious relationship right off the bat.

I've worked as a legal administrator for many years. I love animals, fishing, music (especially live music at a small venue). I live north of Belleville... left Toronto behind and now have a home with a nice large backyard. I have cats... wonderful friends... always busy.

What am I looking for?
One that is comfortable enough with himself and will trust... not controlling. I do not argue or raise my voice and would like someone that conducts themselves the same way. Don't have any baggage (was packed away years ago) and would prefer someone without children or with grown children...(now, grandchildren are a different story.. we can always enjoy them and then hand them back..lol). Maturity... yes, a mature man (with a little bit of kid left in him). I am a people person.. like to go out and listen to music.. enjoy a glass of wine. If you're anything more than a social drinker or you do drugs, you will not be my type. Conversation.. easy communication. I stay pretty well updated on news and world events (thanks CBC), and would like to meet someone who's world is bigger than their own backyard. I really don't care about age or looks.. just care who a person really is.

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards...they try to have more things, or more money in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. I've found that happiness is not a goal... it is a by-product.

I'd just like to add...
I love to read, I love CBC TV & radio (not into reality shows, game shows (except maybe Jeopardy), swimming at the quarry, outside patios, yardsales, bonfires & bbq's, fishing, time with friends and family... anything outside in the summer (winter.. mostly indoor fire, glass of wine, a good book... and hold my breath 'till spring).

And finally, love is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end.

And I smile a lot.

Good luck to all...

Let's decide that when we talk...
