I am a caring and smart woman who enjoys life and living it.. I am a voracious reader and love to cuddle up on the sofa with a good book..I love to garden, travel, spend time with family and friends..
I would love you to be kind, smart, reliable, affectionate, love to have your head in a book, love to laugh and have a good sense of humor, like animals, walking, traveling, debates. A love of home and family. A high level of integrity is a must.
I feel that getting to know one another bit by bit thus leading to a relationship in which we have become good friends, first and foremost, who genuinely like one another, trust one another and are a bit in awe of one another would be exciting.
I like a man who knows how to cook but if not, a healthy appreciation of food would be lovely.
A love of travel and of reading is also a plus..I am not a sports enthusiast, but I do not mind when a man is. Communication is an important factor of course... I like to laugh and to see others laugh.. I am a bit of an environmentalist and I am not interested in consumerism..If you drive a Hummer we would not be a good match..I am interested in meeting a man of like mind when it comes to our planet.. Lets meet and begin the journey we both seek..

I am at the point where I can do whatever I choose to do and I may be visiting my granddaughter in Sweden, my mother in Miami Beach, hanging out with the family , busy with activities I enjoy or simply reading a good book..
I belong to a walking group that gets out twice week for very long walks in interesting enviorments. It is a lot of fun and healthy!

Cooking! I love to cook. It is my art and I love to share my creations.
Friendship. I am loyal and others have always come to me for counsel. I love to be there for my loved ones..

I have no idea!

Food: Shrimp, salmon,veggie sandwich, tomatoes, olives, sweet onion, sourdough bread and a slice of cheese.
Shows: I love NCIS, The Good Wife, The Mentalist and.. I forget the name!
Books: Books by Dave Eggers, Ismail, The Tebetan Book of Living and Dying, to name a few. Just completed "Blink", by Malcolm Gladwell and I await two more to be delivered any moment now.
Music: Jazz is my favorite music.. I adore Kiku Matsui..
I need to think a bit about movies..

My family, friends, good food, good wine, books, cool fall days.

I think about a lot of things, the state of the world, economics, my family, my friends, moving to another country, and the list goes on...

It varies. I could be home or enjoying a cooking adventrure with my family.

Not a thing!
