Retired from the rat-race.
Broadly educated, non-smoking Unitarian Universalist shepherdess of Asian-European-American ancestry.
Homesteading on a small scale in upstate NY.

Seeking a companionable non-smoking man with a passion for life, but ready to settle down. Must be open to enjoying the awesome beauty in everyday life. Must like livestock (not just the cute ones).
The best match for me would be a guy with a passion for something (Business? Butterflies? Horseshoeing? Nano-technology?). I get along equally well with Atheists and Religious people; seems that anybody with a sense of justice, compassion, a little common sense and balance gets along well with me. I'm more interested in what is between a man's ears and how he treats me than in height, weight or formal education.

Please note:
At the age of 38 I was given permission to stay in bed and watch TV for the rest of my life, and my response was: "Hell no!" Thus began my current adventure in life. I have a medical condition which, every now and then, causes my weight to fluctuate a lot. And sometimes out of the blue I'll start to limp without warning. I mention this here in case you feel that such things would cause you distress.

I plan to live a long, long life, and every moment of that will be as full and interesting as can be. :)   Send me a message!
