My husband and I met in college. We both entered the USAF and eventually retired as LtCols. Along the way we had two children, now aged 23 and 18. The eldest is in college and the other is busy researching colleges.

Skills & Expertise to Share

I've always loved gardening with an emphasis on edible plants and flowers.
I like making things myself. I make jams and dehydrate garden produce. I also like making fermented foods. I enjoy sewing.
We have experience doing DIY stuff: we've laid tile floors, wooden floors and even installed wood on stairs, built a basement bar, and installed closet organizers, painted walls and ceilings. My husband has lots of experience painting cars.

Interesting and friendly

We had a wonderful time visiting and they are a very interesting couple. Debsails mother was there and she was quite a character! They all know a lot about van life and building vans and seem to be very knowledgeable in many areas. We had a great time conversing with them and they were quiet and respectful while staying. We welcome them anytime!

Short visit

They were here only a short while just to rest up and continue their trip west. After a hot meal of gumbo and a short rest they continued westerly. Hope they can come back and sit a spell.

Delightful guest

This delightful family with two camper units stayed at my Boondockers site on July 1. They seemed to enjoy our small town and were a pleasure to visit with. Would welcome back anytime.

Delightful guests

After having several cancellations of other folks’ reservations, we finally had these folks stop in as our first boondockers guests, and the experience was delightful! Great conversation was shared, and somehow we ended up receiving some high-quality almond brittle to boot! We had no issues whatsoever.
