Hi. Thanks for reading my second attempt at a profile. I am a basically cheerful, self reliant woman with a great family, great friends and a good life. I am interested in meeting more friends in this area. I have lived here for several years, but have been very busy with career, finishing a master's degree and raising children (who are now all over 21 and do not live with me). I am ready for a new chapter in my life. I enjoy sports, travel and outdoor activities such as gardening, biking and hiking. I also love to read and watch movies. I appreciate all kinds of music and have been known to play the piano on occasion. I particularly love rock and roll, alternative, classical, and jazz. I also like bluegrass-country does not do much for me though. I believe that we all make our own happiness and that we all have the power to choose our responses to things that come our way. Do you?

I like coffee and conversation, or getting to know one another over a glass of wine.
