Hi! I am interested in finding a man who is looking for a woman to become his life partner. I was married just once, and for twelve years. I believe in marriage, and think that a true marriage should serve to bring out the best in each partner. I have been a single parent for many years, and have successfully raised two wonderful young men. I love family and children, and would welcome a man who already has children, grown or otherwise. But this time, I intend to make sure that he and I are well suited to each other. For fun, I sing in my church choir. Since I am a contralto, I fit in best with the tenors. I enjoy solving puzzles, and playing challenging games such as bridge, scrabble, etc. I love fishing in the Sierras, or just taking a motor boat out on Pinecrest Lake. When it comes to music, I love listening to (and singing along with) the Oldies. I also enjoy listening to KLOVE radio (or klove.com).

I've raised 2 great sons, and enjoy observing how they are successfully dealing with their own lives. Meanwhile, I am supporting myself, and enjoying a new job with a short commute. I live in the town I grew up in, and have lots of family living in the immediate area. I'd prefer to be sharing my life with a good man.

problem-solving. I also have some ability in understanding the feeling and needs of others. I enjoy sharing knowledge with others.

Probably people first notice my smile, and my eyes. Hopefully they would then notice my kindness. I love children, and they seem drawn to me. I think that little children and babies recognize me for who I am. Now to get the full grown boys (i.e. men) to recognize me!

I'm an avid reader. Movies: Sixth Sense, Batteries not Included, Flight Plan, Harry Potter... Ask me about my interests.

Family, God, friends, computer, books & dark chocolate.

My ideal man would be highly ethical, and considered by others to be a good, caring person. He would value family and friends. I would like someone who is open to communicating both thoughts and feelings. I am interested in one good man who chooses to have one good woman as his partner. It would be nice if he enjoys the mountains and might enjoy fishing.

home, usually watching a good British mystery.

is that I am a very private person.

your profile is a true reflection of who you are. I'm tired of getting contacted by "men" in Greece, or Africa posing as U.S. citizens. Please be willing to meet in person, or have a webcam.
I am only interested in a man who is legally single. Widowed is fine. If you are divorced, I hope it was only once. Legally separated is still married in my book, and you wouldn't be ready for marriage anyway.
