I am a creative and independent woman with an optimistic attitude. Usually a quiet person, I am more of a listener than a talker; I do strive to hear. I am inquisitive and love to listen to others tell about their lives. I am honest and a loyal friend and prefer a few close friends to many. Love traveling and seeing new places although I love the comfort of home. I am introverted by nature and do need some down time to recharge my adventuresome spirit ; ) I enjoy gardening, hiking, baking, reading….did I say books? Simplicity in life for me is important……I am not very tetchy. Prefer the country, small towns and love spontaneous trips to anywhere interesting. It is nice having someone compatible to do these things with!
