My parents are liberals who took my creativity seriously. Lucky me. I make the most of oppertunities. I enjoy homemaking of all types - cooking, sewing, design etc. My favorite music mixes inclued, Reggae, Smokey Robinson et al, salsa tropical, Joan Armatrag, Mozart et al and more. No smooth jazz, thank you. My happy daughters are grown and have flown. The idea of challeng, experience, and writing, intrests me more than status quo, laying low and reading.

FIST DATES are not my favorite. Between nervousness and my own desire to please, I am lucky to remember to flirt until I am on the way home. For me, the FIRST DATE is best if it is short and sweet - a nice meal, movie and a coffee, or a meuseum stroll. Second dates are a different kettle of fish. For a second date, I wish for a man who will exert energy to create a time and space for getting to know each other. I am more interested in a complementary relationship than one of obvious compatability. I am happy in my life now but I am willing to change-up if given the chance.
