I do love a man who's in charge, but allows me to think I am :-) Intelligent, witty, handsome (in my eyes) and a gentleman all go a long way with me....honesty is a must. Cuddlers and excellent kissers definitely welcome! My loves are the beach, tigers at the zoo, stawberries from a California roadside stand (it's been over one year now that I've moved back to this area from California, but I won't forget the taste of their fabulous strawberries), nice/kind people (I can tell if you really are one), my kids, who aren't kids any longer, but I love them dearly....and of course their kitties (cats) that I am now in charge of :-)

Interested in men who may like to take hiking trips. Nope, I'm not an avid hiker, but do love the spring and fall particularly and it can be an 'incentive' to exercise and enjoy this beautiful world of ours. I'm interested in a life with BALANCE but on occasion my work takes over, so it would be nice to meet someone to help with diversions :-) to help me achieve balance while also building in some side roads trips or activities to enjoy life!

I have a wonderful heart and am independent to a fault. Love to dance, play volleyball, read.....oh, and jog when I'm 'into it' again. I also know what type of man I'm attracted to and know that I gravitate toward too.

Also, I'm a 'writer' when it comes to communicating....long winded for sure.....and in person, I'm a thinker who is more apt to keep her thoughts to herself....my brain analyzes situations more than anything, and people who babble just wear me out :-), so that'll tell you lots about me.

We meet for coffee or a glass of wine. First we make a connection through our eyes...if there's a connection, then we'll chat for about an hour and set a time to get to do something together....a short hike, a visit to a small town, or dinner in a quaint restaurant.
