A little about myself. I was born and raised in Germany - and yes, I still have a slight accent :-) I have 2 beautiful grown children that are very close to me although they live away from home, one in College - my oldest is married and lives in AZ. I guess when you have been through the good and the bad trials of life you understand whats really important to you. It is not what you have that makes you rich, it is the person within you and how you really feel in your heart. I would like to find a person, who is genuinely looking for a relationship and realizes they are work and compromise. I believe that a relationship should be based on honesty, trust, and mutual respect between two people. I like traveling, especially to warm tropical places, I love the ocean, but sensual strolls along the beach are a bit hard to find in MO...so swimming or just hanging out at the pool is fine too. I also like hiking, canoeing, walking, going to the lake. But I guess my favorite activity is still a romantic quiet evening at home snuggling with my guy ;) Oh, a couple of more things about the man I'm looking for... not be afraid to show affection! Lot's of hugging and kissing "REQUIRED" Oh...Did I mention -- Must have a good sense of humor? :) PS...PLEASE have "RECENT" photos available if you contact me.
