She's attractive in a clean, wholesome way.

She's always neatly dressed and groomed. She doesn't wear "fancy," but she's always in good taste, modest, and appropriately dressed for the occasion. She has short, curly hair that is attractively cut. And she goes without cosmetics to obscure her natural beauty.

PW takes care of herself. Sees her dentist twice a year.

As I said, she's not tall and slim, and she could maybe lose 5 pounds. But she has a womanly figure, a shape that a man with good sense would find attractive. A body that would be nice to hold and cuddle, without danger of being stabbed by hip bones. She does yoga, and walks for exercise, and keeps herself healthy.

Her eyes are clear, and her smile is bright. Her mind is sharp, and her thoughts are deep. She's a wonderful, thoughtful, generous friend. A great hostess.

PW is a great cook. She bakes, cans fruit, makes jams, jellies, and apple butter. Her home is neat and clean, attractively decorated, but not ostentatious. It's a warm, welcoming place with books, pictures, needlepoint...oh, and a fireplace.

Even her computer room is neat and orderly.

Besides excellence in domestic skills, she crochets and knits, quilts, draws pictures, writes stories and poems. And her humor is gentle.

She has borne three children who have remained close to her even in adulthood. That tells me that she is a successful mother, and especially since she had to complete raising them as a single mother. She is close to her parents and visits them often, and that tells me that she honors her father and mother.

PW has a husband who adores her. It's obvious in the way he looks at her. And she returns the love. They seem to me a perfectly matched couple.

This is a good woman in the finest sense of the word, and I'm honored to be included in her list of friends.

We should all be so fortunate!

Shalom
