Meet a woman from Corning, United States. My ideal match? Is there such a person out there? I hold out hope that there is. Someone that will love me for all that I am and all I have to offer. Everyone has a past, especially when you're over 50, have raised a family, and are looking to hold on to that one true love the rest of your days. Are you out there? Are you hopefully hoping that you'll find that certain someone, too?
The man that enters into my life, either as a friend or long term relationship, needs to be compasionate towards those with special needs, as I have a disabled son. He means the world to me. As do my other 5 children. Yes, I have a large family, and grandkids to boot. Through their love, laughter, trials and joys, I am who I am today.
I know I haven't posted a photo as yet, but if you'll read this first, and get to know me a bit before deciding, sometimes that makes it more interesting. After all, isn't that how alot of relationships started "back in the day"?
Yes, I'm old fashioned, but to a fault. I don't live in the past, but love the flow of times past when life wasn't so rushed and technologically bound.
My passion (besides my family) is genealogy. If I'd had the stomach for the occupation, I probably would have gone into law enforcement. Instead, I'm the family detective, searching out records of the past. I've been researching for years, and for a time worked in a genealogy library helping others.
My Scandinavian roots have given me the love of textile arts (sewing, crocheting, knitting, weaving), as well as baking. I love to bake, especially sharing with someone else those joys that eminate from the kitchen from time to time. Is there chocolate on the menu? Well, yeah! :D Cheesecake? definitely. Chocolate chip cookies? you betcha! but all in moderation.
I enjoy going out as much as the next person, movies, dining, or just a long walk.
I don't ask much in another person, just their honesty and loyalty and I will be your friend for as long as you'll have me in your world.
I apologize in advance if I do not respond to messages or winks here on Match.com. I am not a paying member yet, so please be patient with me. Thank you :)
It's important to me that the man I enjoy the rest of my days with loves God, will have a sense of humor. If you have these two qualities, then the rest will just fall into place :D
