I'm currently 53 years young. With my outlook on life and youthful attitude, I think I'll be around for another 30 years. My belief is to live life to the fullest, live each day as though it may be your last. I love to laugh, give all I can to those I care about. I have much to do yet in this wonderful everchanging life. On-line dating, dating period at my age has been a real eye-opening experience. It is amazing to me that you can e-mail, talk and eventually meet someone and they are NOTHING like their picture or the correspondence you've exchanged. First of all, I'm far from photogenic, but at least I have posted a photo. PLEASE! I WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANYONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A PICTURE POSTED. I am looking for a friend, lover of life, the last greatest love of my life. Life is so very precious and so very short, it should not be ignored, remain dormant, wasted or not enjoyed to the max. I'm forever hopeful to still find the Man that can give me butterflies in my stomach and I him. "Must Love Dogs" is what inspired me to try Internet dating in the first place. My dogs are a very important part of my life and that needs to be understood up front. In addition to a 34+ year career in Benefits/human Resources, I also do catering and speciality baking. Love gardening and canning. This time of the year, you'll find me at the Elks Lodge working the turkey shoots.

That really depends on what we have in commom. Meeting for a drink, or walk in the park. A first meeting that would be for a short period of time in case we don't click. That way we can both get off the hook without hurting the other ones feelings. We'll just wait and decide together.
