I am happy and love to laugh and see the important people in my life enjoy themselves. Honesty and integrity are very important in a relationship and I would want my partner to feel the same. I enjoy walking, hiking,cooking/dining in or out, boating,camping, reading, wine-tasting,picnicing,antiquing,decorating,listening to music, dancing,just being by water and spending time with family and friends.

Because my 2 grown children and 3 grandchildren live in another state; we don't get to spend as much time togethr as we would like; and I would enjoy being involved with my partner's family, according to their wants/needs. Family is very important to me.

I am not a big TV watcher...do enjoy a few regular programs, movies and documentaries. I like to entertain......doesn't have to be anything fancy...just family or friends over for a cook-out, potluck etc.

I am equally comfortable in jeans or the "little black dress", enjoy socializing in most any size group. Like any type of theater production, live music, or listening to favorites on CDs at home or in the car. Really enjoy travel....car, boat, plane......and am beginning to definitely prefer warmer climates in the winter. However, I chose to remain in Michigan this winter and will try to enjoy the beauty and "hang in there" through the bad driving days.

Any of the above activities would be so much more enjoyable with a special someone, and I have the time and desire to develop a meaningful and lasting relationship with the right man. And no, I don't live on Mackinac Island.....just one of the places I have enjoyed visiting.

I would like to meet, talk, share some experiences, more preferences. Something low key, with little pressure....maybe just for coffee. A time to find out a little more about each other and determine if we would enjoy seeing each other again.
