| About me |
Philosophy:
We raised 3 sons in a really big old house in Amana. There were two of us for 26+ years. I loved living in Amana and was active in the community and school. Four years ago, I moved to Lansing, IA to be live somewhere with less maintenance, no snow shoveling or mowing.
My yard is full of flowers, tomatoes, and peppers from spring through fall. I walk almost every day. I much prefer being outside. I will stop to pet every dog on the trail. I prefer well-disguised exercise like hiking and gardening. I would like to ride my bike more. Not competitive, just for fun.
Knitting, weaving, and spinning wool into yarn are my passions. I don't sit still well. I am really bad at sports that require depth perception and catching or hitting a ball. Not a fan of watching sports on TV or in person. I will sit next to you while you watch them on TV and knit, weave, sew. I do love snuggling up to watch a movie or TV show,
I’ve always had a professional high-energy job. Planning, designing, implementing, and maintenance to clients all over the US. Coast to coast (Maui in the West) (London in the East). And from Duluth to New Orleans. I’m comfortable in large and small public groups. I've given speeches to thousands. So yea, an Extrovert. Actually an ENTP on the Myers-Briggs.
I love weekend getaways and travel to see parks, museums, zoos, history and culture, arts, musicals, dinner theaters, etc. Northern Lights are something I'd love to see, which aren't far away! Camping is good! My sons are my favorite humans and live nearby. I have a granddaughter close by as well. Family is important to me, but they're not intrusive. I am not very religious, though I am spiritual. Romantic, but not clingy, easy-going yet independent.
I've taken care of everyone else my entire adult life and would like to find someone who will make me a priority and is adventurous and open-minded. Cooking, DIY projects, and everyday household chores are fun as a team. “I want the real thing” is a fantasy, so is “World Peace”. Smoking is a deal-breaker.
To Do:
My current vocation is a "Fiber Artist" I have friends all over North & South America. I am a leader in my field. Spinning blends of beautiful wool into luscious yarns. My favorite (and specialty) is Giant Angora Rabbit wool. Blending it with other fiber types, just makes it POW! I am able to fully hand process and have wools in my stash including, Llama, Alpaca, Bison, Many many varieties of sheep, Mohair - Angora Goat.
I'm also known now as both a Bunny and a Loom whisperer. |
