CURRENT MISSION

in this life.... to be happy and honest and hard working

ABOUT ME

We live in a 200 year old house, a work in progress, that we took apart, moved and rebuilt ourselves. We have chickens, cats and large vegetable and flower gardens. We live on 10 acres surrounded by state forest, hiking trails, waterfalls, mountain biking and mountains including a ski area. My husband is a cross country ski instructor in the winter and a carpenter in the summer. The whole family (except me) rides and races road bikes. We have both children in college this year.

PHILOSOPHY

We enjoy our home and family and try to live simply. We don't waste money on extravagances, but do enjoy the outdoors and physical activity. There is nothing like a beautiful day and being in the garden - with a jump in the ice cold brook to cool off.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We don't travel much now. It is too nice to be home. But have traveled a lot in earlier years. There was no couch surfing then, but stayed in youth hostels and with friends. CouchSurfed in Boston recently while visiting my son. Worked out great!
