Im a pretty simple and straightforward gal, from Texas, who likes to do all the stuff I did at 8 yrs: hiking, reading,travel,bicycling, running along the beach wading in the surf...Beneath my calm and gentle demeanor is a restless, adventerous travel nut who loves the challenge of doing new things , meeting new people and learning about you..I am a balanced, well grounded person who appreciates my time alone and with my special one
I enjoy listening to BBC and NPR radio, cuddling and lovemaking under soft blankets on rainy Sunday afternoons sipping our chardonnay listening to Dylan, Springsteen, Neil Young, Steely Dan, Van Morrison, Allison Krauss, Bonnie Raitt, Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin.

I love music of all kinds, it moves my soul: bluegrass,blues,jazz, folk,world music, celtic, vintage rock, classical and I want to hear what you like ..Im very sensitive and intuitive: I cry at movies, intense songs, and at whatever moves me profoundly..Im a curious combination of a soft, feminine gal who loves silky shirts and lace undies combined with the little girl inside who loves getting her hair messy and digging in the dirt

Im a history buff, particularly the Civil War and the British Isles..
I read alot: especially biographies and good fiction, and want to hear what you have been reading..I love the water and shoreline of anywhere in the USA, but especially where I live on Cape Cod....

Im attracted to people who are loving, affectionate, kind and truly enjoy being others..Someone who can make me laugh will definitely be a big plus......Weirdness is good if the chemistry is there so dont be afraid to show it me....Creative types who are artists or builders who work with their hands or are writers are appealing to me but it doesnt matter what you do as long as you give it your best shot..A witty person who's abit of a smartass is sexy to me...Having an abundance of optimism, sensitivity and gentleness with a superb ability to tell tasteless and naughty jokes will win me over..

I hope you are passionate about something in your life, be it a career, family or your art..Honesty, listening, good communication and trust are very important to me..I think its good to be both friends and lovers with the idea of building the relationship as you get to know someone..Starting off as friends first is ideal...So dont be shy in writing, my deepest wish in life is to make some wonderful man truly happy ...I have so much to give to the right person. Please respond with a picture of yourself ...and thanks for contacting me.

We never would have found each other with your help!

I think meeting at a quiet,cozy coffee bar for a quick bite of homemade scones and coffee would be a nice start so we can talk and get to know one another...see where the conversation leads us
