I was born and have lived my whole life in Florida, but I spend several months each year in California, North Carolina, and England. I was raised a Baptist, but I grew up and wised up, so dropped the church stuff. I love to cook and have people over for meals. I like to camp, sail, canoe, ride roller coasters, go white water rafting, read, write, travel, and take my grandson fishing. I read while he fishes. I don't like fishing myself. My hair is long and straight, and its un-dyed color. I don't go to hairdressers or get my nails done. I can dress up when I need to, and I own some makeup, but I don't put on lipstick every morning. I don't like cigarettes, Trump, rattlesnakes, alligators, coffee, beer, or raw oysters. I am not partial to dining out except when traveling, and I don't like "If it's Tuesday it must be Belgium" tours. I like to stay in one place for at least a week.
