Date men and women from Canada / Nova Scotia / Coldbrook, 47 year old

Date a soulmate from Nova Scotia, Canada. This smile's for you, :o). I am a healthy, active, outgoing, person who loves to smile and enjoys taking care of his 3, often trying but always wonderful children (girl 14, boy 12, boy 7). I have a great since of humour and enjoy making my children and students laugh and smile. Family is very important to me and I give thanks each day for the blessings that have been bestowed upon me. My friends say I'm loyal, honest, humoruos, layed back, fair and trustworthy. I believe "No one is perfect, we all make mistakes but, if you always try to do what you know in your heart is right and you give more than you take, then you will always be able to hold your head up high."
I'm a patient, understanding and carring soul who most enjoys being around family and small groups of happy people doing fun activities and enjoying each others company. I enjoy traveling, including the trip between destinations. Coastal towns and tall sailing ships peek my interest and imagination. Camping is fun and a great avenue for family bonding. I love to sit by the camp fire enjoying the warmth and glow with smores or just Baileys dipped marshmallows and good conversation.
As an active fit person I enjoy biking or walking along natural trails, canoeing and most any outdoor sport/activity. I would like to do more backpacking and camping in the future. I also, enjoy roller coasters, listening to the sound of: children laughing, bamboo wind chimes, gently falling rain, waves and water falls and purring kitty cats. :o)
I enjoy home reno projects and sharing the kitchen, cooking up some good tasty fun ;o) and food also. I try to eat healthy but a Harvey's cheeseburger, poutine and onion rings will find it's way into my mouth on occasion. I enjoy Italian and Chinese food, Olive Garden and Kai Wing are my first choice, however a hot BBQ and a cold beer in comfy cloths are great also.
Although I am the primary care giver to three younger children I am not looking for a mother for them. I am however, looking for someone who will have room on her heart for my children as I would have for hers. A cold beverage and a beach towel on a hot sunny day with that special someone and our children sounds great to me. I am a romantic affectionate person. I love hugs, kisses and cuddling/snuggling. I am looking for that special connection with someone who wants all of this and more.
I was married for 20 years and now know what I'm not looking for in a partner. Sex is not the MOST important part of a relationship. Don't get me wrong it's very important to be sexually attracted to someone but.....What I am looking for is non-smoking active lady who loves life, children, the outdoors, is spiritual, is committed and faithful to a relationship, enjoys the gental caress of a loving hand and enjoys exploring! :0), . In closing I would like to say thanks for reading my profile and don't be shy, I'm not too caught up in the whole masculinity thing, email me! (P.S. I enjoy hot chocolate in my coffee) :o)
