My self-summary
I was so glad to leave Cleveland and go off to college. But now, after some fourty years, I am so happy to be back, where I belong, right back here in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. After college, I taught school in Kettering, Ohio, got a Maasters from Miami University, then off to Michigan as a college administrator, then for twenty years an Assistant Principal at the high school level. Then I spent a dozen years in Lexington, KY in private education and finally retired and went to work at a Lowes Home Center as a sales consultant. My first marriage lasted for 25 years and my second marriage lasted for a dozen years. I came back to the Cleveland area to be closer to one of my three daughters and to be HOME!!!!
I am living in the Cedar/Fairmont District of Cleveland Heights and LOVE IT. Things I really enjoy: Being outdoors, horseback riding (Western), collecting rock & Minerals, romping with a dog, and bicycleing to new places. Also thoroughly enjoy parks and museums, old antique shops and big garage sales. I have written a short, true story, "Terror In Yellowstone Park." I am also somewhat artistic, having deigned and sold many stain-glass panals. I have also done arrtistic painting and have even sold some items.
What I’m doing with my life
I am doing my best to stay healthy. I am recovering from an injury I received in a motorcycle/ traffic accident which was totally my fault. My left leg was broken when a car hit my motorcycle in October of 2012. I am walking well now, but tango dancing is still a slight way off. I LOVE to bicycle & walk places and ride the RTA bus system since I voluntarally gave up driving. :-( BUT I am trying to learni Tango & Salsa dancing!!!! (Ha, what a stitch) I do volunteer work whenever possible, including walking a Yellow Lab (Titan) twice a week.
I’m really good at
Counseling others over their relationship issues. I am a good public speaker and like to make others laugh. I'm also really good at hiding my minor disabilities: poor eyesight and minor hearing loss: (SCUBA diving & explosion) I'm also good at making travel plans (Have Passport, will travel) Been to Germany twice and once to Austria and Prague.
The first things people usually notice about me
I have a welcoming smile, am slow to speak, and know how to listen well.....
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I enjoy reading on my Kindle, and have read most all of Clive Cussler's Books. One of my daughters and I have created a Father/Daughter Book Club, and we enjoy discussing the books we read together. Once in a while I enjoy reading a really trashy novel. I also read anything I can get my hands on the North American Indians, the true, original Americans. I like Leonard Cohen, I like to sing and whistle cause I am a very happy person. Oh, and I also have every piece ever produced by Anne Murray!!!
My one daughter is encouraging me to become a vegetarian, but I don't want to give up fish. I am also trying to teach myself the violin. I love it!!!! I also like dogs . . Yellow Labs are high on my list of favorites. I love hobbies . . Over the years I have collected Indian artifacts, been an Amateur Radio Operator and collected rocks and minerals. I love the outdoors, and feel very comfortable in a sleeping bag, maybe . . . . with my sweetheart in a tent.
The six things I could never do without
1) The love of my three daughters
2) Positive contact with others.
3) Dreams
4) My HP Laptop
5) My iPhone :-)
6) Smiles from my grandkids
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How fortunate I am to be here in the East Cleveland area. And how fortunate I am to have three daughters who love and enjoy each other and want to spend time with eachother. Also I like thinking and planning for train trips throughout Canada and the Wild West. Oh, and i like to think about the next venture of horseback riding .
On a typical Friday night I am
Wishing I was with someone special, a woman who would enjoy hanging out, going for a bike ride or maybe a long walk and would like to spend the rest of the night cuddling anwith the right woman.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
Most private is . . . private, but
I am a poor speller...... :-)
