About Me and Who I am Looking For

This is our time ... meaningful time to spend together learning, laughing, exploring! I'm at a point in my life where I feel I have a lot to offer to a special man ... and I'd love to meet the man who felt the same way.

One of the most important qualities to me in any relationship is having a great sense of humor. It's so much fun to laugh and share the world through each other's views.

The simple things in life are what are most important to me. Honesty, integrity, humor, good conversation and a sense of adventure ... I'm looking for that special man to share the rest of my life with.

for fun:
Love to get out and do/see new things; an adventure is always just around the corner! I enjoy eating out (anything from a sloppy burger to fine dining); the movies; antiquing; going to car shows classic cars, camping or doing just about anything outdoors.
my job:
Previously, I've owned 2 businesses (one was a dog/cat grooming shop for 26 years; the other is as a professional artist). I'm a self-taught artist who discovered a love and talent for painting rather by surprise!
my ethnicity:
A little about my ethnic background ... my mother was Spanish and French; my father was born in Mexico (I was born here). I guess that makes me a native Californian with a spicy flavor!
favorite hot spots:
I'm very creative in the kitchen and love to bake, make jams and cook fabulous Mexican, Italian, Chinese and other cuisines. Going shopping can be so much fun with someone special! I fell in love with the beauty of Alaska on a recent cruise.
favorite things:
Wilson, my gorgeous Bengal cat! Playing in the dirt in my yard! Painting custom murals! National Geographic and Animal Planet on television! Country, easy listening and the oldies music! Having a glass of wine and an intimate dinner/BBQ with ???
my pets:
Ask me about my Bengal Cats! They are gorgeous hybrid cats bred from the small wild Asian Leopard cat, with stunning markings and such fun purr-sonalities! My males weigh over 20 lbs each!

Meet for coffee, go for a walk, meet for a meal, in public places.
