I'm a nice, down to earth, quiet and honest lady. I love the outdoors in all seasons and enjoy having fun and adventure with the right person. I'm also just as comfortable snuggling up in front of a cozy fire or in front of the TV on a cold winter day or baking cookies for anyone's kids(or dad). I love the smell of home cooking. Combined with family, friends and good times, it makes a house a home and creates lasting memories. I guess I just have old fashioned values. I'm kind, loving and generous to a fault and don't complain much. My qualities hopefully will make me a perfect mate for a real good guy. I look out for the best interest of others and hate to see people hurt. I get all teary eyed when I see someone sad. I love pets and little kids and making all feel special. I love to cook, do artwork and creative writing in my spare time. I value loyalty, honesty, integrity, intelligence and good communication. I also understand the need for one's own space at times and I'm a very good listener with a compassionate heart.

I would want our first date to be casual and fun. Perhaps go to a movie or eat a pizza or maybe a little walk and some icecream, or a cold beer on an outdoor patio and some nachos. The romantic candlelight stuff can come later, if desired. The main goal is to feel relaxed and comfortable with each other and make a good impression. I don't bar hop, can't ballroom dance, do gymnastic backflips or swim like a fish, but I do enjoy live bands, some sporting events, playing in the water, camping, hiking, canoeing, fishing and a whole lot more.
