About Me

I am 58 yrs. old, have 1 daughter and 2 granddaughters. You can also find me on my favorite page at:I love to fish, camp, read good mysteries, eat out at nice places, and to just live life as much as I can. I lack 3 quarters of a foreign language to have a bachelor's degree in Communications. But since I don't work anymore, I have given up on that.I'm the eternal optimist. For me the glass is always half full. I believe in honesty and good communication. You can't have a good relationship if you can't talk things out. I worked for over 30 years and now am retired on disability. I am NOT looking for someone to take care of me. I do that very well, thank you. I don't particularly want to get married again, would just like a companion to do things with, whatever that may be!! I have fought osteoarthritis since I was a teen, and believe me I do fight it. I still go camping, yes, I can walk! I can talk too!! Most guys hear handicapped and don't want to even explore who I am. But my handicap doesn't mean I sit around and do nothing. I am still a very active woman! I recently joined a health club and am working out to strengthen my joints. Maybe it will help me quit smoking too!! I love to go fishing and boating and love the outdoors. I love to watch my NFL, read mysteries mostly, love to cook but enjoy dressing up and going out to dinner occasionally. But I'm a romantic too. Love to cuddle, and hug, and still hold hands.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Would like to meet people who really want to be friends. The kind that communicate with each other rather than just adding another number. Would be ok to meet someone special to share things with sometimes, but I'm not hard-up for company either. Would like to have some friends to chat with, otherwise it gets boring on this computer!!http://www.pimpmyarea.com
