Life is good. I have three wonderful daughters who make life fun. One is in her first year of university, and the other two will head off soon. They are great kids, and I adore them. I have a job that I really enjoy - I am a primary school teacher. Life is never dull with young children, and my days always fly by. When I'm not working, I spend time with great friends who make me laugh and keep me active. I spend a lot of time on the tennis courts and I keep hoping that my game will reach a new level one of these days! In addition to tennis, I also enjoy working out at the gym or going to fitness classes. When I am at home, I like to relax, bake, or spend time in the garden. I like to read too, when I have time. When I feel like an outdoor fix, I like to go for walks with my dog or skating with my girls. I like to travel when I get the chance, both locally (weekends in Niagara or a cottage up north) and abroad (Europe's awfully nice but it's been a while since I've been there). On the whole, I think you'd find that I'm pretty down to earth, and I'm one of those people who takes great pleasure in the simple things in life. I enjoy a night at home with good company, a glass of wine, and a video. A casual night out at a local restaurant is a lot of fun too. As long as I'm with someone who's upbeat, honest, sincere, and kind, I am happy - truly. I try to approach life in a positive way, and I hope to find a partner who does too.

What should I say about a first date - perhaps meeting at a coffee shop or a casual restaurant for a glass of wine.
