Hi there & thanks for taking the time to read my profile ;) Note that all my pics are within the last year, so if we meet that's what I look like; not 10 years older which has happened to me on dates from Match.com!

I have just moved back to the States after 4 years in Scotland... I have now found myself here in Prescott AZ...what's with all this sun??? lol Thank goodness I'm off to Astoria!!! I enjoy all the usual; movies, pubs, dining out or just staying in and renting a movie. I like to play chess, and any word games such as Scrabble or Countdown (a word game in the UK.) I very much enjoy taking my dog down to the square in the evening for various music functions and long walks up in the park near my home. My music collection consists of Billy Holiday to Billy Idol and everything in between, before and after~ except rap.

I was married (only once) for 16 years & would love to find a life partner again. I am fun, friendly sometimes outgoing/sometimes shy. A bit of it all. I am a decorative artist and I also write children's books which I am trying to illustrate now to submit, along with writing a book about my travels as a woman on her own in Scotland. Due to the economy the "other" in my list as profession may include cashier, nanny, waitress and any other jobs to pay the bills; I am not ashamed of any honest jobs I have or have had to do in this chapter of my life. I used to make $50 an hour painting and book 5 months in advance, now I am content just to keep a roof above. If you are looking to expand your profile you are fishing in the wrong pond!
I love intimacy, long passionate kisses, kissing sometimes just for the kissing, tactile sensual, and most people (even women) remark that I'm still sexy...I hope to be remembered as being a KIND person than a great artist, writer, or any other label to be given.

About you~ You have a great sense of humor! You like a woman who is independent, loyal, is tactile and sensual, yet likes the outdoors (this, to me, means short hikes, gardening, fishing, outdoor fires and collecting shells on the beach.) Someone who loves your company but also needs her alone time too. One of my dreams is to build a straw bale house, you up for it? Please don't contact me if you smoke, do not enjoy animals and kids (note that my kids are on their own) but I have always found in life that people, in general, who don't like both kids & animals are not warm enough people for me. Also, please don't write if you are over 40 and have never been married, sorry. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile.

And in the end, the love you take, is equal to, the love, you make.x

Please not an interview! Meet for coffee or at the park and see if there's any chemistry. Chemistry IS important; it is in our innate soul. I am looking for a life partner, but everyone could always use another friend too. Kids are great; if you have some younger ones that's a big plus. I am fun, friendly, kind and loyal. Hope you are too!x
