This ex-pat South African lady is kind, patient, loving, giving, ardent, good listener, goofy too! Believes that a relationship is based on mutual trust, friendship, communication, honesty, "keeping the flames lit, sparks flying, not allowing the wick to fizzle out", with lots of intimate physicality - and FUN!

Life's too short as it is, and without an essential daily dose of laughter, is meaninglessly blah for me... hopefully, for you too. Let's have a blast while we're living it!

I'm a woman with a curiosity of life and a myriad of interests: sports, "stretch-dancersize", museums, galleries, comedy clubs, music, dancing, theater, concerts, movies, TV, writing, internet research, cooking (some call me "chefette", knowing they'll be deliciously fed -- even returning for new concoctions!), entertaining at home, volunteering, card games, shooting pool, people watching, walking, biking, hiking, countryside, snow/water skiing (admittedly not well, but enjoy!), beaches, oceans, lakes, rivers, streams, kissing in the rain, travel, and more.....
