I appreciate kindness and compassion in the people I meet and enjoy lively conversations on almost any topic. I'm passionate about history, reading, writing, good food, and, of course, stimulating company. I also need my quiet moments and my independence, so I'm not a clingy or demanding person. I enjoy playing golf, love the beach and tennis in the summer, and ride my bike. Sometimes I like to do things alone, like walking, doing yoga, or browsing used bookstores. I'm a down-to-earth woman who appreciates the simple things. I love the outdoors and enjoy every moment I spend there. I love to laugh and want to be cheerful and supportive.
