I am a positive person looking for the same. I love the outdoors and all that Maine has in that category. I love to take pictures of it all. I have many interests and would love to find someone as equally diversified. I believe that anything is possible and that all things happen for a reason...even this on-line dating thing. I believe in a happy and fun life that is based on an understanding of one another...emotionally, physically and spiritually. I would like to be matched with someone who is not threatened by my abilities to tackle any task that is set before me...I love challenges and accept them willingly. I enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities. I love to garden and landscape. I do not mind getting dirty. I have two teenage boys. My boys love the outdoors too. We love to go camping by the lake in the summer. We have mountain bikes and we enjoy taking the kayak on the lake. I am an involved parent. My two boys give me a lot to do but a great deal to look forward to even though they do not live with me full time. I love them and am very proud of all they accomplish. We have two dogs that keep us busy too. Brady is a beagle and Sonny is a yellow lab. I like to make things. There are not too many crafts that I am not into in one shape or form. My favorite by far is taking pictures. I love to take pictures of the beauty around us. I enjoy looking for the unusual subject and photographing it differently. I have the photo albums to prove it. I enjoy making people happy by helping them. There are great rewards in giving of myself to others. I have helped friends remodel a room in their home or installed ceiling fans for them. I have separated my flower beds several times and started new ones for others at their homes. I love to have people stop by to just say hi. I like to make people laugh. I can have a great sense of humor at times. I have been told that my smile and my eyes are some of my greatest attributes and give off a feeling of contentment no matter what the situation. I would really like to meet someone who is friendly and outgoing, someone who is comfortable in social settings. I would love to have someone who is happy to be with me and proud of who I am and who we are together as a couple. I know I am not a perfect woman but I feel that I am worth it. That ideal person would also enjoy being with me either on a quiet rainy afternoon together snuggled up close and watching a movie, or going to the beach and walking in the sand and the cold surf til we cannot feel out toes any more. Are there any romantic and real men out there anymore? This person should be romantic and love the element of surprise...either giving or receiving. It is very important that this person is sensual and likes to please me too. He must be creative in certain aspects of our intimacy. He must also be willing to communicate about our time together...likes and dislikes. I think that all couples should spend time on-line with each other...getting to know the person on a different level...getting to know how they express themselves with words. I would also feel closer to a person who likes animals. It has been said that if a person likes animals then they are very caring and loving. I would also like for this person to be positive and upbeat. I would like for this person to take care of themselves and live a healthy life. I would hope that they like to work and have a great work ethic. They must be honest in life, love and work. This ideal person would choose to work hard but remember to play hard sometimes too. I would also hope that this person would not be a jealous person when it comes to my need for having friends to do things with. I like to do crafts and have a few hobbies and interests that I share with them. My time that I can spend independently would in turn benefit my relationship at home. I believe a fulfilling life is a well rounded one. Two people can bring so much to the table to enhance and create a happy home.
