Cherokeetisqua, 77

Looking for an honest, affectionate man I am retired, Cherokee/Irish descent, love all of nature, animals of every kind, cooking is a passion, especially baking of all kinds. I am very honest, I will not tolerate lying or dishonesty of any kind. Also will not tolerate cruelty of any kind toward any living thing. Other than those two things, I am very easy going, rarely get angry or upset, and if I do, it never lasts long. I am reasonably intelligent, well-read, not holding onto any old baggage. I love thunderstorms, fireplaces, water of any kind, especially moving water such as rivers and waterfalls, wildlife, whether turtles, deer, raccoons or just interesting insects or plants. I would like to meet a man who is totally honest and not into game playing. I am a smoker, and not likely to quit(although for the right man, I would try). I do not drink alcohol, but do not mind if he does, so long as it is not excessive. I am affectionate, loving, gentle, and believe communication is the answer to everything. I will always listen to and respect another's opinion. I detest dissent or arguments, life should be peaceful and pleasant. That said, I do have a mind of my own and no interest in being somebody's doormat. If you think we might have something in common, I would like to hear from you.
