I've been single for 5 years. I have three sons,4 grandchildren and 3 step grandchildren. My home is on a lake. I'm finally back here for awhile. Alright, awhile is up..moving up to the South Plains for the winter...yeah, I'm crazy! I once read "what really matters, is not surviving the storm, but learning to dance in the rain." I like that statement. It kinda defines my life. I've survived the storms. Like most of us, they were really bad storms. But I can see a rainbow on the horizon and I'd love to share it with someone. It's hard to say what kind of person one is searching for. Kindness,heart,love of family,friends,animals,laughter, gentle but strong. Even at my age I still need to feel that humming in my body when I meet that special man, the one that makes me want to reach out and touch him every time he's near.To sit and just listen to the sound of his voice when he's talking, or his breathing when he's asleep. Looking at him in the morning drinking his first cup of coffee,trying to wake up. Seeing that slow smile that lights up his eyes when he see me. LOL if you've stayed with me so far...the reality is this... I'm looking for a buddy, a pal, a friend to share fun, laughter, quality time and adventure with. I want to be able to put my feet up and enjoy a beer or coffee and that person I'm with.
