"LIFE is an adventure to be lived, not a problem to be solved!"

Hello! 52 year young, Lady in search of 1 good man....Compassionate, funloving, Loyal-One man woman: lQQking to grow younger with that special someone! I thrive on attention & affection. Satisfied in my life having 'been there, done Alot'-only thing missing is-"YOU"-a man of integrity, emotionally generous, with a strong character-someone that loves to laugh! Did you know that laughing releases endorphins into your bloodstream and is VERY healthy?! Smiling also applies!

Interests & things I like:
Laughter, Toe curlin kisses, road trips/travel, Oceans/beaches, lakes/mtns, boating/LOVE fishing!! & swimming,(lap swimming @ the Y too), growing dahlias & tomatoes & herbs, festivals/fairs, nature, animals, cruises, simple pleasures...star/moon gazing, thunder/rain, really good food-real BBQ, cooking/baking, dining out, jacuzzi bathtubs/massages, movies, HGTV, DIY Network, Food Network, Barnes & Noble, Maxfield Parrish art, tropical vacations, select antiquing, Disney-off season!
Like a wide range of music, cept rap. Can dress for any occasion ;) Love Northern CA. Always wanted to go to the FL Keys!

my ethnicity:
Natural blonde (lol) 1/2 Norwegian, 1/4 Swedish, 1/4 German

my religion:
PRAY together/PLAY together =STAY together! My relationship with God is strong & personal. (Havent been to church in years) I'm a Believer but not a fanatic. I'm not perfect, just forgiven! ;)

my education:
Univ of LIFE! Worked in family's 2nd generation grocery business from a young age, graduated HS. Attempted "Court Reporting". In 84, gave up education/career for a worthier cause: Wife & Mother!

I was born and raised 21 yrs in MN, lived in CA 10 years, now residing in 'Happy Valley' PA. Have traveled to Germany (& Disneyland, lol) more times than I can count, several trips to London, Mexico & Hawaii... (& with ME navigating by car to) = France, Italy, Spain, Austria & Switzerland! Went on my first Caribbean cruise in July 06 and loved it! But, there's no place like home... Would love to tour more of the US (never been to NYC!!)

Falling in love is not finding the perfect person, its learning to love an imperfect person perfectly... you do not love a woman because she is pretty, she is pretty because you love her...

"Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human
being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this
light." -Albert Schweitzer
