I am a nurse by profession. I also own and operate a dog kennel and a website for the kennel. I am looking for friendship first and foremost. I am not into playing games, you will always know exactly where you stand with me. I will always tell you my likes and dislikes. I treat people the way that I would like to be treated. I am fun to be with, love to laugh, or cry if the situation warrants tears, happy with myself, secure in my own right, and one of the most honest people that you will ever meet. I am not a beauty queen as you can tell by my picture, but most people would not guess that I am the mother of 4 children, 6 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren. I do try to stay within my weight range and with running a kennel I stay in pretty good shape for my age. I can easily transform into any situation, from boots and jeans to an elegant evening gown. I am a lady and expect to be treated as such. I was raised in the ol school and insist on being treated like a lady. I do smoke, so if that bothers you I am probably not someone you want to contact. That is pretty much me! My perfect match can accept me for who and what I am. What you see is what you get! I do not want to change you and I do not want you to try and change me. Mr. Right or Left, as you would have it, would like romantic evening in front of the fireplace on cold winter nights. He would like to see new places and things. He would not mind candle light dinners in an elegant restaurant or just a road cafe for a chicken fried steak. We would share some common interest. He would have to be a funloving individual. That special someone would know how to open doors, stand when a lady leaves the table, pull out a chair for her lady, etc. I am looking for someone that knows how to enjoy life to its fullest and is financially stable. Smile if that's U!!
