Tall, family oriented, animal lover, active, fiber artist, great sense of humor. I enjoy outdoor activities, hiking/walking, antiques, auctions, flea markets, Sunday drives in the country, exploring out-of-the-way places, Scrabble, crossword puzzles, slow-dancing in the kitchen, cooking classes/gourmet cooking, socializing with friends/family. I also enjoy good food, good wine, museums, movies, concerts, performing arts, or am very content to just curl up on the sofa with Chinese take-out and watch a good movie. I am unpretentious and enjoy the simple pleasures in life -- a beautiful dawn/sunset, a picnic under a tree, or a walk in the woods on a crisp autumn day. Musical interests include jazz, bluegrass, blues, c&w, some classical, & oldies. I love the country/mountains but also enjoy being around the water. I am a very loyal, honest, and compassionate person. I'm looking for a man with old-fashioned values, family oriented, animal lover, with a good sense of humor. I am not interested in serial dating. I believe that physical attraction is important but being able to "connect" with someone is just as important. Therefore, I am hoping to meet someone special with the potential for a long term relationship which will be built upon friendship, honesty, communication, and mutual respect. I dream of one day living in a log home. What are your dreams
