We are a couple in our early 50s with a teenage daughter. I'm a software designer and Carolyn is a massage therapist. We love food, music, nature, cities, travel, exploring, the ocean... did we mention food? We have 2 cats and a Siberian Husky named Jiro (Japanese for “second son”).
We’re neat freaks and will take care of your home as we do our own.
