I am a little nervous about doing this, but, believe that it is about time to start thinking about a new relationship with a terrific man. Friends describe me as happy, a genteel Southern woman, a great mom and grandmother (aka YaYa), a sincere friend who is caring and intelligent, and a terrific cook who is adventurous in the kitchen.

After a successful career as a consultant, I embarked on a new adventure as the owner/innkeeper of a beautiful 14 guestroom bed and breakfast. While I very much enjoyed being a consultant, I LOVED being an innkeeper! And, I would have continued that gratifying profession for a bazillion years, but, unfortunately, my wonderful husband died. I recognized that I needed to be closer to family, hence, I am now centrally located between my two children (don't want either to think that I love one more than the other!). So, another adventure has taken me to central Pennsylvania where I am establishing a new home, new friends, and becoming an active member of my new community.

While I lust to be the willowy, sexy blonde of my youth, I accept that I now am a beautiful, zaftig, sophisticated (and frequently silly!) woman who is emotionally and financially secure. I am just as comfortable at the symphony or ballet as I am at a Toby Keith or Gretchen Wilson concert . . . I love sequins and beads, fuzzy slippers, soft sweaters and blue jeans. I'm independent, but, love being half of a couple, who at the end of the day, enjoys a single malt scotch or a glass of wine while discussing special or routine events.

My ideal match is tall, intelligent, successful, independent, and gorgeous - that's the way he should describe himself! Family and friends are priorities for him. I would hope that we have many things in common, yet, he should have separate interests that do not necessarily include me.

So . . . let's begin to enjoy this escapade of friendship and romance!

Let's meet somewhere in the middle . . . .
