I am intelligent, curious, and humorous.

My Self-Summary

Paula Deen look alike, Paula Deen cook alike (Paula is on the Food Network in case you need more of a clue). I am semi-retired and have plenty of time for travel , reading , puzzles and music. I have been a teacher and cival servant and love to take long drives on blue highways and see the real country. I recently acquired a little red convertible and look forward to warm days and nights for putting the top down. I am originally from the south and still have a bit of accent. I am politically and personally liberal and like for everyone to have plenty of room to express thoughts and opinions.

What I’m doing with my life

I am semi retired but still consulting on my old job. I am a widow of 6 years from a good marriage so have positive feelings about men and relationships. I am ready to move on and have some fun.

I’m really good at

Organizing, solving problems, listening to people and finding the good that lives in us all. I have a talent for talking to people who are having problems as that is what I have done most of my working career. It carries over to non-work areas and I am sometimes approached by strangers to share their problems.

The first things people usually notice about me

I am fun and friendly and have great silver hair.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I love mystery and history reading. Stephen King continues to facinate me. How can he know what I am thinking? I don't watch a lot of movies but like the really old ones. I prefer classic rock but am also good with most types of music. I am a great cook and especially good with country cooking but also can cook about anything. I love Mexican and asian foods as well as BBQ and hamburgers (good ones). I will read almost anything available and consequently have read some really unusual things.

The six things I could never do without

Mental challenge, books, a car (preferably a convertible), time alone, mountains (at least occasionally), and someone to share with.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

How I want to spend the rest of my life. No conclusions yet. I have learned a lot and some things I think may be true are:
*People are who they are for a lot of reasons and usually change very little except over long periods of time - you are who you are and should be appreciated as such. Trying to change anyone is like teaching a pig to sing, it frustrates you and annoys the pig.
*Most people are basically good and will see themselves in a "white hat" even those we may find puzzling.
*Really listen and you will really understand.
*Even Republicans can be loveable.

On a typical Friday night I am

Out to dinner with family. Home and in bed early with a good book.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I long for adult companionship and someone with whom to share fun times and make great memories. Lots more and more interesting when I meet you and the time is right.

You should message me if

You are interested in literate and intelligent conversation and don't mind a woman with extra pounds and a variety of life experiences.
