How can a paragraph of two even beging to describe the person you are inside...to captivate someone in a few sparse sentences? Well here is a short version of who I am. I am a very well grounded, respectful, kind and caring person who hopes to find that gem of a man who values the concept of honesty and integrity. Someone who truly cares about his friends and family and is willing to take responsbility in making a once in a lifetime wonderful partnership with someone who is like minded. I am not into playing games or hurting your heart and I will respect that you also feel this way. I love to laugh and enjoy life each and every day. I have learned that not every day is stellar however its what you do with the day that will make it special. I have various interests from renovating my home, decorating, gardening, hiking and willing to try any activities you may be interested in.

My headline says "are all the good ones taken" however I know there is someone out there that is a perfect fit for me. All it takes is patience and perserverence (and a little luck!)

I have a wonderful career that has spanned over 32 years now and the longevity of my career allows me flexibility of hours. I am self sufficient and really happy with my life. I would like to find that special man that brings a smile to my face and that we both enhance each other's life. Could you be that special guy?

I would like to get to know you on a first date in a setting that allows us to talk without numerous distractions...perhaps a walk by the lake or enjoying a piping hot tea or coffee sitting on a picnic bench.But it would be something that we would both feel comfortable with.
