How does one describe themselves in a 200 character minimum? I will give it an attempt by saying that I'm a 52 year man,a widowed and a proud father. I am a giving person, a warm, loving and affectionate man who cares for others and enjoys life to the fullest. I am easy going and prefer to live in peace and with a positive attitude. I am analytical, intelligent, educated, confidant, mature. I have a down to earth personality love to laugh and have fun. I have a great deal of compassion for the things of the world, but also have passion for the special people in my life. I have no problem sharing anything of myself, with that being said that is only with the right person for me, one that is not selfish of her time or herself. I desire to be with someone that communicates well and is not an avoider when it comes to working out situations, if any shall arise. I like someone who is level-headed and is capable of thinking outside of the box, no offense but I do not do well at all with the mentally challenged in a relationship (no baggage- carriers), you know who you are, for you deal with you every day. I'm interested in a woman who is in tune and confident within himself.

My favorite activities are outdoor activities. I like camping, hiking, exploring creeks, horseback riding, biking, or just walking enjoying all the wonderful things God has made. I love animals of all kinds, domestic or wild. I am multi-talented which I thank the Lord daily for each of my talents. For indoor activities I can knit and crochet, macrame, make bead jewelry, make quilts, do counted cross stitch, etc. I am a pretty good cook. I like baking cookies and other such goodies.
