Hello there, I enjoy meeting new people and having one-on-one opportunities to get to know someone. For fun I like dining out, live theater, concerts, movies, preparing meals, day trips, getting together with small group of friends for entertainment, family get-togethers. I am friendly and outgoing and am looking for someone who has similar lifestyle and values to me. My Christian faith is an important part of the person I am and I would want to have that in common with any new friend. I have been a widow for over seven years, was married for 32 years and have two grown children and one grandchild (a 1 yr old little boy). I enjoy music, especially oldies and country, and love animals (I have a four yr old part bull mastiff that I got as a puppy from the animal shelter). I also love horses and horse shows or events. I have not done a lot of traveling in recent years but would enjoy that if circumstances permitted it. Also I really PREFER profiles with at least one picture!
I am attracted to a man who is self-confident, fun-loving and a little bit crazy (although he also knows how and when to be serious and what to be serious about), who knows how to be successful in his endeavors, and it doesn't hurt if he is a wicked flirt!!

A good first date would be meeting for coffee or lunch. That is usually enough time to determine if we are interested in knowing more about each other and spending more time together. If the chemistry is there for BOTH of us then we would decide together what we wanted to do on a second date.
