Life is rewarding when you like what you do and enjoy those with whom you spend your time. I love spending time with family and friends, cooking is a passion for me, learning Italian and gardening is also. I believe in caring about others and it surely has its abundant rewards.

I have traveled to Spain and to Italy quite a few times. I have fallen in love with Italy and hope to spend 6 months to one year there once I retire. I am studing Italian at the moment to make that dream more delightful and rewarding. I hope to travel to many other European countires once I retire.

I am spiritual and can be very passionate with the right person. There has to be that wonderful spark of attraction, don't you agree?

It would be wonderful to meet someone who has a sense of humor, is considerate and patient, unselfish, romantic and who appreciates the same in me. I believe such a relationship is well worth seeking.

I wish I had more time to read and I plan to pursue this more ardently in the years ahead.

I hope to meet someone wonderful through this venue. If you are the one, please send me an email!

I work full time in the healthcare sector as a business analyst.
I am studying Italian in my spare time, enjoy walking for daily exercise and enjoy cooking and baking. Time in the kitchen is
truly therapy for me. I spend time with friends as often as I can and with my daughters who are the most special people in my life. I also spend time with my adored Mom who is 96 years old and counting with a clear mind and a strong will. She is fantastic and has taught me many lessons without uttering one word.

I very good at being patient and kind and thoughtful.
I am also very good at putting others first.

I am very friendly and always put new people I meet at ease.

Movie wise I love the Bourne Trilogy, Princess Bride, My Cousin Vinny, My Blue Heaven, The Godfather Trilogy, Jaws and more.
I like all kinds of music and enjoy live performances, especially in classical music and the opera. I don't read as often as I would like to but I have recently been reading a book called "Mother Tongue' which my daughter gave to me. When I retire i will have all the time I have longed for to read and read and read.
I enjoy all types of cuisine but I must admit that French and Italian foods are my favorites.

I could never do without my family, especially my daughters.
I need to have purpose in my life so I expect to work into the golden years. I love loyal friends but I have found that they are so hard to find. I will always want a good book to read and the good health and mobility required for regular exercise. I simply love a good night of sleep and the mornings when I don't have to get up and meet a deadline.

I spend a lot of time thinking about a happy retirement and fulfullment.
I hope they both come my way in the near future in spades.

On a typical Friday night I am joyfully antcipating the weekend.
I like to go out for dinner and a glass of wine. If the weather is warm, it is fantastic to find an outdoor venue for that pursuit. Friday is a wonderful day in the week.

I am a definitely nervous and shy the first time I meet someone.

You should message me if you feel like talking and taking the time to get to know each other...whether to be a friend or a romantic interest.
