Texan, Married with children and grandchildren, Vetern. Hate child molesters, ones who harm the elderly. I believe there is a God and he walks with me. Love to tease, laugh, and have fun. Known flirt but do believe that no matter what size or shape a woman is she's the most beautiful creation on earth. As long as she acts like a lady. Don't like trashy women and women who talk trash.
