The pic is from a masquerade ball - I'm not usually dressed like that, lol.
I'm not here to find pen pals (I already have a few) and am looking for local people.
I pick up spiders on a napkin and put them outside, as I love all of creation, and I live by the Golden Rule. I love photography. I've had several professions and have enjoyed them all, from VP of Dorman Electric to owning my own company, to daycare while my son was young, to paralegal, writing a book on the Naval Academy and another on West Point. I adore my son, who is now 27. I choose to be kind, thoughtful, and ethical. I love a good conversation! I care about what I eat, who I hang with, what I surround myself with, what I watch, and what I read. I'm not into negative people, although I will always be courteous toward others regardless. I currently freelance edit within educational publishing from home, which can get lonely. I love what I do, but my son is grown up, and I need to get out. Would love a compatible friend or two to spend time with, take walks, go to the symphony, enjoy dinner out.
