I'm retired military from a long line of military men. A soldier doesn't fight because he hates the enemy in front of him, he fights because he loves what he left behind. I have 4 beautiful amazing kids that I've raised by myself for the past 10 years. My oldest daughter set the standards for her siblings by being the first one in our family to attend an Ivy League University. She currently lives and works in Korea. Being an Army brat, she's got the traveling bug in her. My 2nd oldest (son) is now attending Princeton University (#1 University in the country if not the world). My 3rd oldest just graduated from high school and the baby of the family is over 6 ft tall at 14 years old. He's training to attend the Naval Academy at Annapolis hoping for a commission in the Marine Corp. So all my babies are growing up and giving me some free time (for a change). So here I am looking for someone special to spend it with.

The sexiest thing about a woman is = How intelligent she is (you'll make my toes curl if your smart), Her smile & does she smile with her eyes or give that plastic model smile, Femininity - God made us different for a reason - if you love being a female - I'll love you for being it, Romantic - love the romance!

Progressing, progressing always progressing. I absolutely love to learn new things. "Hell" to me would be no progression. Forget the fire & brimstone (piece of cake) but take away my ability to learn something new.....to painful to think about!
Traveling is always a great way to learn about something. To see new places and the Arts. It's hard to be a world traveler and not love the Arts. I lived three years in Italy and saw all the masterpieces first hand. Michelangelo is my favorite but I'm always amazed at Leonardo da Vinci. I've still got the Pyramids and Great Wall of China to see, not to mention Australia.

Honesty, integrity and people's trust. If I say it, then I'll do it or die trying.

Apparently I'm extremely "Old School", where a man's word is his bond. I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that becomes my law to live by.

My sense of humor. It's can be pretty dry in a very fun sort of way.
I love to tease. My philosophy of life is to turn the bad into something good and the good into something better. A good sense of humor helps me do this....strangely enough.

Dean Koontz would be the most likely answer. I've read about a hundred of his works, but he really ticks me off when he kills off the heroine....

Favorite Artists - Jackie Evancho / Shania Twain
Jackie Evancho - Bridge Over Troubled Water

Movies = Wow, I like a lot of different kinds; in fact I collect movies (several 1000 in library). I've got movies from the 1920's to all the classics and probably every blockbuster made.

Foods = I've traveled the world over so I'll try something at least once. Korean, Italian and of course American are my favorites.

I'll have to think about this one..........

1. Heavenly Father and his plan of salvation for his children.

2. Holding hands (And all that goes with it).

3. Family of course.

4. Books, Music, The Arts (counts as one)

5. Modern society - indoor plumbing, all the electronics (my personal favorite the Microwave), remote controls, phones, cars - planes & ships, indoor cooking, heating, air conditioning, lights - Oh yes, modern day lights (I can't read by candle light).

6. ........still thinking

Writing. I'm writing a book............so, thinking, thinking always thinking! Any writers out there?

Home if any of the kids are here. They all have their own lives now, so if they haven't deserted me, I'm cooking some Friday night specials. Homemade pizza or my specialty "American" gourmet fries.

Sometimes friends set me up with a blind date. I wouldn't mind it so much "except" they never ever follow the rules. I tell them "no" smokers along with my complete "no" list and every time I get a face full of smoke or something else on the list.
I don't ask for too much in life, do I????

My own personal saying.
"If I were to die tomorrow, would I commit sin today?"

Life is a book, filled with pure white pages that are being written upon as you live every moment of your life. It starts with a limited number of blank pages. When you let others touch and write things in your book, they will either respect the sacredness of it or make it dirty with their own filthiness......
