I am a happy and friendly person who enjoys doing a lot of different things like exercising, gardening, reading, dancing and singing. I don't feel or act my age. I still run 15 to 20 miles per week. I work out almost every day. I love being out in nature. I really enjoy working the earth and watching things grow. I also love animals but not indoors.

I enjoy traveling and interacting with people from other cultures. I have lived in several countries and spent a lot of vacation time traveling throughout Europe, North and South America, Asia and even a little bit in Africa. I can honestly say that even though I have enjoyed these many places, I love the USA. There is no place like home.

Family is the most important thing in my life. My children, their spouses and my grandchildren mean the world to me along with my extended family. There is nothing more important than family ties.
