I am not pretty and I am not rich, but I do not smoke, drink alcohol, or use drugs. I snore when I sleep, but I love to snuggle. My 3 children are adults and have their own lives, but I love kids and will welcome yours. My hobbies are gardening, reading, cooking (and eating), doing crossword puzzles, and traveling both domestic and foreign. I speak English and a little French and a little Spanish, can read a bit of Portugese and some Italian, and can sometimes puzzle out German and one or two words of Russian (!)

The lady should be shorter than I, with weight in proportion to her height. If she is younger than 39 she should be mature and intelligent so that we may have meaningful conversations - I have a dislike of inane babble.
