I was born and raised on a farm, over on the coast. I love animals. I moved here about 12 years ago and have found that the Wenatchee Valley, has just about every thing I want and need. I enjoy bike riding around the Columbia river, golf, slowpicth softball, and wood burning fires. I have a wood stove fireplace in both my living room and my shop. I try to keep life uncomplicated.

I worked for 30 years with juvenile offenders and retired in 2004. I was very skilled at working with families in conflict and crisis and getting information was a large part of my job.I am currently working my dream job, just 16 hours a week with 4 day weekends for life. I have slowed down. I don't ask allot of questions these days but I am a good listener and I pay attention. I have very little stress in my life. I'm living at a nice pace.

I own my home, have been single for 15 years, and have no children. I have very little emotional baggage. Come for a visit. I'll make you a warm fire, light a candle and we can chat and watch a movie.

I'll share a few quotes from friends of mine that I have gathered over the years and a few personnal beliefs, that might allow you to come to know me a little better.

"Shower the people you love with love and show them the way that you feel." (James Taylor)

"Whatever is written in your heart, is all that matters." (Jerry Raffert)

I believe that "not too many people can see we're all the same." (George Harrison)

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys that fit our locks.

"All you need is love and love is all you need." (the Beatles)

I believe that all women should come with a set of directions and a manual. (George Burns)

"Someone like you, makes it hard to live without, somebody else. Someone like you, makes it easy to give, and never think about myself." (Rod Stewart)

"And in the end,
the love you take,
is equal to the love,
you make." (the last lyric, of the last song, on the last Beatle album)

So, drop me a line and share with me a story, and I'll come back to you with one of my own.
