About Me
Don't allow my age to scare you away...I'm young in all ways and probably should have subtracted at least 10 years from my chronological age to give you a better idea of the "real me!" Family has always been important to me and I am close to both my children and grandchildren, and I have an amiable relationship with my ex husband. I power walk daily, as I'm interested in remaining physically fit. I hike, take ballroom dancing lessons, and plan to Kayak. All kinds of music appeal to me with the exception of rap. My body is a combination of athletic, slim, and average, with some curvy thrown in. I have a very quick sense of humor which sometimes leans to sarcastic and I love to laugh. I'm a sensitive, affectionate person, with a very rational side to my personality and hope that any person I date would place importance on family, fitness, and healthy eating. He must love dogs!
I recently spent a year in Winston-Salem, NC, where my daughter and her family lived (they've moved to Tallahassee), and I moved back to CT in the summer of 2011. While in NC, I became a foster parent for the Humane Society and adopted one of the dogs I fostered, a Cairn Terrier, like Toto from the Wizard of Oz. He's come a very long way from the untrained little character he was at first. In CT, I will continue my volunteer work with the ABC Program in Simsbury, a program for minority students of high school age. I've been deeply involved in ABC for over 20 years, while being an elementary school teacher, and a reading teacher for the last 7 years of my career. I retired 4 years ago. My photos are from the past 18 months.
