Good music, good food and enjoying nature add the richness I need in my life. I am a small business owner/operator and hoping to find a best friend and lover to spend my free time with.

My friends respect me and see me as a strong, independent woman , my son also admires my nature and is successful in his own life. I'm loyal, thoughtful, have integrity. My dry humor will take some off guard, an unexpected edge!! A smile, for me, is natural when meeting and engaging with other people. I prefer to be helpful in some way, if I can.

You'll find my choices are varied in style and interests. I love to prepare meals at home for those I love, hiking, good film, appreciation for art, outdoor activities (no sleeping on the ground, thanks!). If he is interested in changing climates (at least in winter) we'd be off to a great start. I like lively, informed people around me with experience, opinions, and humor.

Not impressed by mediocrity...I understand we are all different but I prefer men who have discipline and good taste. I prefer people around me who love to give back are eco friendly.

Myers-Briggs type is INTJ = Strong, independent woman with excellent skills for developing and maintaining important relationships.

The world is our oyster...let's have fun with each other no matter what the venue.
