I am an upbeat, vivacious redhead with a pretty smile that I give to everybody. I have never met a stranger and strike up conversations in supermarket lines and dentist office waiting rooms. When I catch the eye of a playful toddler, a dour dowager or a cute guy I FLIRT outrageously. This means that I reach out emotionally and try to bring people out of themselves. I want to see them smile and will jump through verbal "hoops" to see a new acquaintance's face light up. Life is so short and too few people rejoice in the moment. Every day, every hour I am grateful for the gifts of life and all it's many facets. It would be wonderful to have a "playmate" who wants to walk in the rain, hike in the woods, read by a roaring fireplace, hold hands in church and entertain friends at home. He need not be handsome or wealthy. He only needs to be a good man who believes in God and wants a REAL woman to treasure and adore. I am adorable and my friends say that I am a treasure.
It is important that I add that I have alternate weekends with my two little girls (ages thirteen and fourteen). I adopted them in 1995 and 1996 when they were five and seven months old, respectively. They are very precious to me. They are not with me as much as I would like but our time together is extremely important to me. After all, when you go all the way to Wuhan, China for "take out Chinese" you must be serious about the joys of parenting children.

Talk, talk, talk. Hold hands. Talk more. Walk and talk. Smile a lot. Talk and walk and hold hands. Smile, hold hands, talk, talk and talk. Drink a glass of Merlot for sore throat (from talking so much).
