Joe and I enjoy creating music, cuddling our animals, arcades, antiquing, and gardening. Margaret spends a lot if time writing letters and listening to books on tape. Margaret works in the school and with adults living with developmental disabilities and Joe is a tugboat engineer.

We have a 6 year old dog, Wilco; a 13 year old cat, Eli; a 7 year old cat, Porter; and our 1 year old baby girl kitten, Bertie. More on Wilco on the next page. Be sure to acknowledge that you read it.

We live a 20 minute walk from downtown and also have a bus stop near us.

Please note, because of Wilco, we do not allow guests to be in the home when I'm not home.

We don't accept a lot of surfers, but you can bet that the ones we do take in took their time on a clear couch request.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to open up my home to others just as others opened up their homes to me during my travels.
