CURRENT MISSION

to be with younger (in spirit or age)people in their environment. to hear some cabaret or unique music , to offer my help if needed, to be outdoors and exploring various neighborhoods. I can show you around or help you get where you want to go.

ABOUT ME

I am an energetic easy-going woman. I like to be out and about, seeing what's going on in the city. especially markets, flea markets, brocantes, restaurants, socializing. I belong to several long-standing groups that have been interacting since 1980s, and like nothing better than to sit and relax with a glass of wine and talk to my host (s)or guests. Films ,gardens and lovely architecture are some passions. I am divorced a long time, and am interested in a continuing friendship.I've been told that I am a good listener, and a good source for resources--a problem resolver.

PHILOSOPHY

the world would be a better place if we all took a genuine interest in others, and respected our various differences...generally speaking, the human race still has a lot to learn, including me.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I raised 7 children by myself, and on a limited income, and went to college and earned 2 degrees. I don't think this is so amazing, but other people seem to think so.
