First of all, I don't want to spend the rest of my life by myself. I miss the comfort of being in a man's arms. I enjoy doing tons of things but it's hard to do them by myself. I love building memories with my grand daughters and I would love to add a 'grand father' into those memories. I am some what shy and often quiet but please don't confuse it with not caring. I don't like conflict and arguing - just a waste of time and energy. I am truthful and honest - almost to a fault but that's just me. I am more of an observer than being in the middle of it or the center of attention. I enjoy family gatherings and keeping a family together. I read a lot but only when I find something which really sparks my interest. I love being outside and enjoying nature. I love the beach and going to garage sales or antique shops. I'm not really much into shopping malls unless I really need something. I enjoy working in my yard and even pulling weeds. I love to make a house feel welcoming to all who visit. I enjoy many types of music - except 'rap'.
