I'm intelligent and affectionate with a good sense of humor but mostly I'm very down to earth and genuine. I would like to find the kind of relationship where I would find myself smiling as I pulled into the drive way because he's home and I can't wait to share my day with him and have him share his with me.

Unfortunately I can't do all the physical activities that I used to do because I have a back injury so if you are looking for a golf,tennis,biking,or kayaking partner, I'm not the one you are looking for.

I was close to my family so I love to cook and feed people. I enjoy all kinds of family like activities like BBQing, tailgating, computer games, some TV. I'm not into exercise or diets. My exercise is cleaning my house!!! As for diets, I tend to eat a balanced diet naturally. I eat a little bit of everything and enjoy it!!

I'm turning 60 in December and I'm looking forward to my 60's. And no, I'm not 60 but looking like 40. I'm happy with who I am even if I am getting older. What's wrong with being older? I have friends who have married in their 70's and 80's and they hold hands and I caught one couple kissing in the hallway........life doesn't end just because we get old! Sometimes the older years can be some of the most romantic years!

I tend to be more old fashioned then liberal. Sure, attraction is important but so are values and integrity! I want a relationship that will last through the good times and the bad times. I've gone through the experience of sticking by my guy through illnesses that eventually led to his death and it's made me realize that real love is the most important thing in life. It's important to laugh and enjoy life while we can and it's also importanat to be mature enough to handle the problems that inevitably come up in life, too.

Drop me a line and tell me a little about yourself if you are interested, okay? Thanks for reading my profile and I wish you the best of luck in finding that special one for you.

I usually like to email a few times, then talk on the phone a few times and then meet at someplace like Cracker Barrel where you can sit outside afterwards and talk a little. And hopefully make plans for another real date.
