A little about me... I am independent, patient, and adaptable. I can "roll with it" with just a touch of sassiness at times. I am not perfect but I am honest and trustworthy. I eat well; I am fit for my age. I love life and abundant laughter. I enjoy grilling, cooking, sharing meals and a bottle of wine, riding __ (fill in the blank), walking, hiking, the beach/lake/boating, picnics, art fairs, county fairs, trips to anywhere, Sunday naps and crossword puzzles, watching the game or a movie on the couch, and snuggling. I am interested in getting to know you first and if the chemistry works hope it turns into an exclusive long term relationship with the butterflies and weak in the knees from the first time to every time I see your text or hear your voice. I appreciate a man who is trustworthy, gentle, and knows how to treat a lady with respect; who holds integrity and honor within his personal code of ethics and enjoys sharing quality time together. I have great respect for a man that enjoys his work, who knows what he wants and needs. I like a man with a generous sense of humor and knows how to communicate. He is strong and brave and will protect me. He understands that to be a best friend and partner requires patience, understanding, and most importantly consistent effort from both parties. We will both agree that we won't always agree or like all of the same activities all of the time. It's okay with me if you take those "fishing/hunting trips" with the guys. I like a man that looks good in Carhart's and camo, dirt and/or grease, a man who isn't afraid of wrenches, tools or manuals, and of course someone that looks and smells good all cleaned up, too! :)
