Hoping to live a full life.  Love the outdoors, love the indoors, hey sometimes I even enjoy just standing in the front doorway :)  I like looking for and fnding those WOW! moments in life - the smell of a forest, sunsets, thunder and lightning, an exquisite piano recital, the view from a mountain trail, anything that just makes me want to throw my hands in the air and shout 'Yes!'.

I am married with three children so am not looking for anything more than real friendship where we can talk about our lives, experiences,​ laugh together, cry together.  If you are not honest or believe in playing games with people - you're not my type - Hasta la vista bebe!

Fluent in English, proficient n Afrikaans, beginner of French (love the language)

Art (my preference is to the Old Masters), Oil Painting, Hiking, Bicycling, Outdoors, Piano Recitals, my Family, Friends, You...

One day, in the not too distant future, I want to travel to Belgium and France - Alrighttttt !!!  Something about those places draws me.

Classical, Neil Diamond, John Denver, The Corries, Classical, Smooth Jazz, any music that strikes an emotional chord, oh did I forget to mention Classical - go Beethoven! :)

I don't have a favorite.  But some (and these probably wouldn't even head the list of favorites) of movies I've enjoyed - Dances With Wolves, Love Comes Softly, Though None Go With Me, The Man Who Knew Too Little, What About Bob, The Sound Of Music, Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man, Running On Empty, A Christmas Visitor, ...

Really don't watch much TV - too many other things to do and experience.  If I do watch it's invariably the Science Channel or Discovery Channel.  I did watch NASA TV until they removed it from our cable lineup :(  I occasionally​ watch Survivor or the Amazing Race.

Generally reality..., something that provides information or stimulus for my current passion.  Used to like reading Alistair Maclean, Desmond Bagley, Arthur Hailey.  Enjoyed the Harry Potter series.  Love the Jeeves books by P.G. Wodehouse

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance...

Your friend forever.  Ton ami toujours !!!
