Hi...I live in Gig Harbor, Washington on 2 beautiful acres. I am looking for a local relationship. I am typically a positive and encouraging person. I like to grow my own vegetables, enjoy nature and spending time with family and friends. I also like solitude - I write, paint, garden, and read. I'm told I look and act like I'm in my early 40's. To relax I enjoy a good movie, going to the spa, having a massage, digging in the garden, playing with my dog, reading a good book, swimming in Henderson Bay, playing a cards (cribbage or 13). I just finished reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series and was so addicted I had to watch the Swedish movies. I also just finished the HBO series Newsroom - and loved it. My passions include helping the homeless, caring for animals, and living simply close to nature.
