I am a very straight forward, down to earth , mature person. I love laughing and having fun. I workout regularly and very active. I love listening and participating in anything to do with music. I play the piano and the guitar. I have two children. My children have been top priority in my life and now that one is married and the other lives away from home, I am looking to make changes to my own life and to share my life with another. I am looking for someone with whom I can make friends as I believe friendship is the prerequisite to any long term relationship. I am looking for a woman who is emotionally open and shares the same core values as I do, she is a mature, authentic woman who has an open mind. She is generous and not superficial. She has experienced life and enjoys traveling and music and animals as much as I do. I am looking for a woman who is down to earth and quite happy in her current life. She is interested in building an equal partnership with a man who shares the same interests and values.
