I am intelligent, fun, funny, witty, and quite optimistic. I have a passion for life and am a very compassaionate woman. I love cuddling, hugging, holding hands, snuggling with each other.. just very affectionate... but I am careful as to what I do in public. Oh yes... can't forget kissing... fun stuff. I'm quite open minded about most things and you might be surprised at to some of the subjects I like to discuss. Come try me out. I live in the country but at times have the heart of a city gal. I love arts, theater, music of all kinds (almost), movies, camping, hiking, water sports, nature... really love the outdoors. There's alot of beauty this world has to offer and I want to enjoy it as much as possible.... and if I can find that special someone to share it with... all the better. I'm a good listener.. great pair of ears for that... Communication is waaaaayyy underestimated. I'm a very good conversationalist. I have 3 kids, two of which still live at home with me, a beautiful little grandaughter and 2 handsome little men that are my grandsons that I see often . You'll find me to be very sincere and honest. I'm pretty bold at times and will say what I think with respect to the other persons feelings. While I'm at talking freely, let me add I do not wish to have any shallow men bother. I am a very fair person and definitely believe in equal opportunity... no double standards. I try not to be judgmental of others, I have integrity, personality and often called a sweetie. I'm really a nice person, maybe too nice at times, but I will be your best friend if shown you deserve it. I believe education is important and one is never too old for school. Stop by and say hello... would love to hear from you. :

For a first date, a day trip up to Lake Tahoe would be fun. The lake has to be the most beautiful one I've ever seen. I'm a water person so anything that has to do with that would be fun, even if it's just pulling up the pant legs and wading way out there in the lake. (if you are not familiar with LT, you can walk waaaay out there and the water is still to your knees). Then maybe later we can go to one of the casinos to do alittle gambling (I'm not much one for that) or take in a show or whatever. I'm pretty spontaneous and open to ideas.
