    Yes, yes, do take care of yourself. Good to hear you are getting some time in on the bike.

    well, the boys just asked if they could stay an extra day; as one of them has sore knees. I said yes.

    I bet you're a terrific host(ess).

    I'm not sure I could even scramble eggs anymore. I could probably follow a recipe to make an ice bag for those knees.
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    they decided they would head south slowly, after all. I guess my concern about them wasting another day sitting around at my house got their attention?

    Scrambling eggs is easy! just make sure you start with a lot of butter in the fry pan

    I'm not sure I would feel comfortable with "stranger" males in my house, if I was alone. Usually, the common denominator of cyclists makes me less wary, but really, one never knows. I am not unusually cautious about stuff, but I don't think I could do this.
    Of course, it's a moot point as my DH would be even more uncomfortable and never want to have people he doesn't know in the house. He wouldn't be "afraid," but let's just say his expectations for neatness are high and this would stop him. I'm kind of the same way, but a lot more flexible.

    My sister has been a Warm Showers host for a couple of years. She has had some really nice people stay with her. I've thought about it, but our yard/house lay out would make it difficult for someone camping in the backyard to get to the bathroom.
