I'm hoping to meet a gentleman who's my equal or better; first for friendship then see if evolves into a long term connection. You need to be intelligent, able to stand on your own feet, honest, sensitive and sincere. The only material element I want from you is the pair to my glass slipper. Sometimes I wonder if I'm hoping for the impossible on this site.

I believe in mutual respect and kindness, in God, in Angels, in strong family ties and being myself. I am confident, optimistic, romantic, persistent, stubborn(LOL), logical and caring.

I love the sea and the sounds of nature. My idea of fast food is fresh fruits and vegetables. My weaknesses are my children, chocolate raspberry ganache cake and my pride. I'm a cat person- both wild and domestic. Hoping to get a cat one day, - the domestic kind, of course.
I enjoy cooking together, cuddling in front of a fireplace in the winter, an occasional glass of red wine with cheese, fruit and crusty bread, interior decorating, antique shopping, arts and crafts, sci-fi and action adventure movies, all music except RAP, singing in the shower or my car, dancing, gardening, home improvement, HGTV, Discovery Channel, Blue+Red=>Deep Purple, seafood, steak and potatoes, SUDOKU, BackGammon, public market, freezing, canning, cooking and preserving nature's bounty. I have below shoulder-length hair; I like youthful styles in clothing and try to remain elegant and appropriate for my age. I dress for the occasion and love high heels and dangling ear rings.
I enjoy action movies with my sons, Saturday morning breakfasts with my Mom and brother, Sunday visits with my daughter. Not into the bar scene: I prefer quiet peaceful environments.
Family, sincerity, honor, dignity and solid values are important to me. I hope to find a good friend first and maybe a soul-mate.
NO Smokers and No Heavy Drinkers, PLEASE.

Coffee and conversation would be a nice start.
