Oh Boy, where to start... I believe the best way to understand someone and get to know them is to take the time to communicate with them. I am not so good at writing about myself but here goes. I am a Single/Divorced mom of 2 great kids have been for quite sometime like 14 years, my son just turned 16 and my daughter nearly 19, I am also A proud grandmother of a beautiful little girl just a little over a year old now and spend as much time with her as I can.
Honesty, loyalty, and decent consideration are must for me. I strongly believe without those two you don't have anything to build a relationship on.
Communication and Consideration would be right there next in line.

I can be stubborn, outspoken and I am independent, and self sufficient.I am very ok with being on my own, have been for some time while concentrating on raising my children. Although I am comfortable with it,It would be nice to have someone to do things with now that my kids are grown and doing their own thing.
I have even recently,Enrolled into College so along with work and all else that falls in between,I have not and don't seem to have a "lot" of spare time very often for meeting people. Hence what brings me here.

I Enjoy the outdoors, camping fishing, swimming, ATV's , dirt bikes(motor- not peddle) Rodeos. I like to cook (most times) when it is for someone who appreciates it and I bake and decorate cakes occasionally. Comfortable also just staying in with a good movie spending time with my kids. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty, yet ok with dressing up for an occasion when called for. I am country raised but living in the city. My family is full of Outdoors people, Hunting, Fishing, camping Most involving a Cold beer or 2 or 3 or ummm many LOL. soooo afraid to get dirty, I think not, Above wearing blue jeans "notta".. Most comfortable in them. But definitely I am able to get dressed up when called for as well. I enjoy having fun, laughing, and outdoor activities, like a good joke, can be sarcastic as hell and a smart ass at times just depends on my mood.

So now lets cut through all the other BS and be real.
First off, BAGGAGE.. If you have "lived" at all you have some somewhere we all do, it's a matter of exactly what type it is and what you choose to do with it.
If you are looking for a "barbie" keep looking-I am not 18 or 20 so No I do not look like one, I am now 45, I have had 2 children, a few surgeries, most recently I had a major surgery on my neck, so my activity level has been low to NO for a while so I am not quite at the level of fitness I would like to be, but with work I will get there again. I am NOT Large either, or unattractive and hard on the eyes, I am on the average size, weight and height proportionate.

Secondly. yes I smoke, (I keep telling myself I will be quitting at some point and one day I may make it there.) On occasion I will have a drink or a cold beer if I feel like it or am in the right social setting, (NO DRUGS and NO Excessive Drinking Please) IF you are OVER 50' ish and Under say 44 'ish I am sorry, but I probably won't be interested. and Yes, I will ask for a PHOTO with contacts Please have an Updated photo not from say 10-20 years past. I want to know who you are Now not when you were in High school/college.

Well if you did not click and run off now with all that. and you want to know more, just ask

Thanks

nothing dramatic, I think the first step is to just meet casually maybe a drink/ coffee-talk and get to know one anther a little.
