I'm still open to you if you're interested, however I will be looking for my match, live and in person during my day to day life. Best wishes to you in your search.
Affectionately remembering you,

I'd love to find a good man to enjoy life with in a wonderful relationship. I like to spend time in Santa Cruz where there is always good music, gardens and the Arts happening. I live in the hills South of Aptos in Aromas where it is beautiful and peaceful. I chose to live here to raise my family in a natural environment.
I am energetic, optimistic, creative and outgoing, with a strong sense of purpose. I can be goofy and serious (maybe not at the same time?) I love being spontaneous and a great plan can't be beat. I enjoy people and all that they have to teach me. My life and work revolve around learning, growing, being healthy, having a good time and being a ceramic artist. I am a keen observer who sees and appreciates the good in the world around me even though I may be aware of the imperfections. Things that are important to me are living simply with love and respect, things that are made by hand, good music and books, good friends and family, and leaving a place better than I found it. I have 2 grown children who are a constant source of joy and pride.
Getting to know someone is like reading a book. You get to know each other over time through shared experiences which build trust. There are many times that I have met someone and gotten an impression of who they are. Then later, come to know and understand them better, and find that they are much more than I ever thought they might be. I'm looking for someone who is down to earth, strong and competent, who would like to have an easy and interactive connection. I'd like to begin as friends and be friends always. I believe in passion and chemistry, and look forward to a relationship with lasting joy and satisfaction that brings out the best in both of us. It is important to me that you be available and that you are would like to be an active partner. I hope that you have eclectic tastes and enjoy the outdoors, that you are thoughtful open minded, and that you like to think differently. To me, good looks come from within and healthiness looks good on everyone!
I look forward to hearing from you. It is really nice when the man opens the conversation....
