Well....assuming that you all are either a farmer or rancher I will start there...I want man that has a love for the land, calloused hands, a love for just one woman, a sunset in his eyes,possibly a poet or musician at heart or on the side, a man who can teach me new things & treat me like an equal and a lady, a man who is honest & not afraid to tell me how he feels & one who will be monogomous and respect me.

A man who likes to take a little time out to play, whether that is horseback riding for pleasure, canoeing, etc...a man who likes to read & maybe share a good book between us...a man who likes to dance-swing, country, slow, maybe even Powwow?

And a sense of humor with a willingness to communicate and not hold his cards too close to his chest.

Its ok if he has been married before and has kids & is friends with his ex...I have that history too! But my kids are 14 & 18 now and living in Calif & I can not have any more kids, so a man with kids but is not wanting anymore would be ideal.

A man who is drug free, alcohol free, does not smoke & takes care of himself...can be a meat eater or a vegitarian! I do both...(give me a buffalo burger, home fries & a chef\'s salad pleazzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeee!)

I am native american & am very involved with the NW tribes and the culture, so I would not want to give that up & would be glad to include my lifemate in these ways, if he was interested, unless he is already native american & is immersed already.

Even though I am a baptised christian I do not go to church, I believe that we are in church every day & I recently started making it a habit to pray... pray for health, harmony, prosperity, peace, safety & gratitude for so many people who are so good to me & others. I would like a man who at least believes there is power in prayer.

I am also a green party member, switched parties when one of my heroines was running for vice prez...Winona La Duke...this is an NDN woman who has done amazing farming in the name of her tribe...but I voted as a Democrat this time around...

I have two dogs & maybe a cat(he snuck out & I heard the coyotes out tonight....so hmmm?) and I love animals, so again, I assume whoever is glancing over this has many of those.

I am a big music fan...got the country music awards on now, but like all kinds of music & do a radio show twice a week, which is where all my passion has been poured into. Ask me more about that.

So that is the short list....
