Intelligent, witty, warm. Retired RN, homeowner, mother of several grown kids and a sucker for animals. I love to laugh and make others laugh. I try to find humor in nearly everything.
I enjoy anything around water...swimming, boating, fishing or just sitting near water to watch the sunset.
I don't "do" glamour shots and am a straight-shooter. I don't go to church regularly, but pray often. I believe in doing and being the best I can. I will go out of my way to help anyone or anything. I have traveled and lived many places, but have chosen to find my way back "home", to Arkansas. I live in the country, although I enjoy museums, concerts, swap meets, etc. I'm a good housekeeper and cook and loyal to a fault. I love to read and listen to music.
As far as the "smoking" thing goes, I quit many years ago. Unfortunately, I started back about 2 months ago, but WILL be quitting as I know better! SOOOOO, if that is putting you off, don't let it. I'm a strong willed person and can do what I set my mind to do. I won't quit for someone else, but I will quit for me.
Not looking for someone who is into drama or still hung up on an ex. I AM looking for someone who likes to laugh and have fun, who is passionate about life and who is NOT possessive or controlling.
IF YOU ARE A CONTROL FREAK, IMPATIENT or OTHERWISE SOCIALLY CHALLENGED, please don't contact me. ALSO, not into illiterates or men with poor hygiene, drunks or drug addicts.

I am not into one night stands but would like someone who is still able to be intimate, should love happen. I've never been a cold fish or someone with hangups; however, my heart must be committed first.
A late lunch at a quiet restaurant or a picnic near a lake. Perhaps you have a suggestion, since I am new to the area.
