Our Plans

Joseph and Lisa are planning on spending the whole week (Sunday to Sunday), but we know not everyone can do that. We invite you to come spend whatever time you can. We'll be glad to visit with you or leave you to relax. Each day, we'll try to post on the Facebook group about what we're doing and use that to link up with anyone who wants to spend time with us. Use this link to join the group.
