Born and raised in Southern New England, US. I am an avid animal lover, who also happens to love global travel, world foods, & culture, as well as its people. I also enjoy art & art history, visiting museums and art festivals when and where I can. I have been blessed to have visited Paris, France and its surrounding countryside and towns a few times in my life so far. Due to my past travels, I now much adore fresh veggie markets, fresh herbs, fresh flowers, seafood, cooking & baking them all. In my past I also loved laughter, good friends, and close family. I am still single and in search of a good, honest man who can respect a confident woman. ** A BOOK NOTE ** If you lose stature or status in life FOR TOO LONG, for whatever reasons, most all people, places, and things around you, that once "loved" you, will move quickly away, causing you much STRESS . . . .Plus the usual ISOLATION & LONELINESS.
