Hi there; I'm a very independent free spirit, lovin’ life, and seriously happy 98% of the time. I am separated from my husband 9 years and have no intentions on going back nor remarrying; however (there is ALWAYS a however) should I meet someone special, a divorce is easy. I have a graduate degree (MS in Elem. Education with an interest in pre k and kindergarten). I am a grand chef in the kitchen, and have no strings to bind me. I would love to meet someone to spend time with; an open relationship. I am truly romantic and warm hearted and figure you eventually eat from the same spoon you feed, so I sincerely try to lead an honest, loving, caring life and treat most with the utmost respect! I of course, expect the same. I like the mountains better than the beach, a Harley D. better than a bicycle, a single romantic weekend better than years of bitterness, sex better than abstinence, good intentions better than excuses, and great attentiveness better than marriage, smoking better than being smoked! I am an easy going Libra woman, I understand and expect independence in a relationship, and am basically interested in becoming great friends + maybe. I hope to find someone who likes antiquities, short or long distance travel, auto, train, plane or scooter, simple living, and someone who does not pressure me for impossible promises. I am 55 almost 56, have blonde streaked light brown hair, aqua eyes and am 5'6" tall, and chunky. I drive a nice car, I try to keep an upbeat persona am not looking, for commitments, for riches, or male model looks. I do like men who have the time to have a good time, over the phone, or upclose and or personal. I hope to meet some who smokes or not, so long as my smoking does not offend. I have an "old school hippie" pictured in my mind, due to my laid back style. This person can be tied to a 40 plus hour week, because I am in the same situation, but when not working, would like to share dinners, and fun times. LMW
