Hello...I am an 'empty-nester'...(almost); I've been a single mom (divorced) for over 13 yrs, and had decided to 'be there' for my children, as they grew up. They are both wonderful contributions to society, I am very proud of my achievements as a single mom. I decided to become a 'teacher's aide', in order to prevent my children from being 'latch-key'.
I enjoy art, and can do pencil portraits, and more...
I love swimming in the summer, visiting places of natural beauty, as well as small quaint towns, love to go 'wine tasting' out 'east, love animals, (enjoy horseback-riding) museums, galleries (art, of course!) Love lobster at Claudio's in Greenport, (lol,oh yes, there really IS a major difference in taste...)...I love to be around loving, caring people...beauty, deep eyes, being giddy with laughter and joy, hiking, the smell of fresh air,...finishing a pencil portrait and watching the secret joy on someone's face as I give it, darning needles? yup...salamanders in the wild, butterflies landing (lighting?) on me...I love the feeling of being one with nature, and sharing that wonderful feeling...being comfortable, cared for, an loved...oh yeah....I love hiking...

I am creative, artistic, and nature lover

I am still working as a teacher's aide, and 'holding up' my extremely gifted and talented 22 yr old son; who has returned home at my 'offering'. He is currently making a rock Album , and the world will soon know who he is...my other son has already been recognized for his contributions in his field......he is truly a wizard!(works at Google)
I am planning to retire in about 5 yrs, and perhaps move somewhere south, where I will enjoy the climate and the environment...and a daily swim...
I have always dreamed of becoming my 'artist self.'..
I am occasionally dating/meeting people from this and another site, but have not yet found the right person; I refuse to 'settle'.
Where are you?

*I have an uncanny gift of analyzing people/situations...it sometimes can be of great help...animals too...

I often dress for comfort...
my eyes ...
I have a nice figure, but not a 'stick' model'...(hey,I just put on 5 lbs of 'indulgent winter weight...lol...)now 125lbs, 5'4"...
I usually 'dress down'; a habit I got into to avoid people's staring, in my youth...
more 'relaxed' now...lol...(I'm 56, but I don't look it.)

I seem to read more 'health-related 'books, although you will catch me reading a novel on the beach, just before taking a swim. lol...I often miss the last few chapters, then move onto another novel the following summer...hmmm....movies...I tend to like many different genres of films, crouching tiger, pulp fiction, Sleepless in Seattle, Music and Lyrics, 7 times) ...I have no other excuse except that I am a woman...lol...

love,nature,wine,my children, a dog, sunshine,ocean waves.....................is that enough?

retirement ; with all that comes with it...
(possible relocation/my two boys/ will I be alone?/ art/wish for occasional travel...)

All too often home...I'm really not into 'serial Dating'......much rather be 'in' with the love of my life...but occasional loneliness forces me out, to meet once in a while...
