Divorced for a long time, I am a mature, giving, honest (sometimes brutally honest...) realistic woman who also happens to be serving time at a Federal Prison Camp in West Virginia. I'm not happy about my circumstances, but I don't waste time with guilt or regrets - life's too short for that. So I will continue to serve my time with a strong mind, a strong sense of who I am, and a stronger hope for the life that awaits me when I leave here.

They don't call it "doing time" for nothing. I've had plenty of time to consider the traits that I'm looking for in a man. I've dreamt about him so many times, I have to believe he exists. Now I just need to meet him. The man Idream of is respectful and mature. He is considerate of his woman and her needs. He opens doors for her, asks her about her day, offers simple compliments if only to make her smile. He is charming and funny, charismatic and fun. He is also adventurous and daring. This is a man who is comfortable spending Friday night under a blanket with his woman, but the fireplace watching a movie, but has a plan for a long ride on the Harley on Saturday. The man of my dreams will allow me to be me.

My children are grown and have children of their own. My time will me MY time when I go home. But family is a big part of my life. If the man I meet is also a big family man, I imagine our circle growing to include both our families for Sunday barbecues and outings.

Romantic travel could be somewhat limited for some time - not by my choice, obviously. For now, a relationship by mail would fulfill me. I find writing to be exciting and believe you can learn a lot about someone simply by writing back and forth.

I look forward to hearing from you.
