Re my paranoia, I have begun to think that Joyce may be a bit hard of hearing, though Dan seems to hear well. They are interesting people in their own right. They don't like to travel and have not been out of the country nor do they intend to travel. He is a Protestant minister of some kind (about 69 yrs old) and works for a Hospice group. He also used to teach exercise etc. for the ski resort Seven Springs. His health is not good now, as had several strokes and just got out of the hospital. But he is an amiable fellow.
Joyce is the daughter of a minister, and a hard worker. With Dan being weakened now, she does most of the cleaning of the rooms and food preparation (which she loves). They did some extensive renovation of this old house and plan to do more. She got up at 3:30 this morn, so she could take care of things and then be at her 5 am exercise class (for 2 hrs). I have threatened to go with her, which Redjeb encourages, but that is about the time I go to bed!!
Our late getting up messes up Joyce's schedule, as she likes to clean the bathrooms and make our bed in the morning. But we are the last to have breakfast and then we lallygag around the room before going out. Our canvasing is best late in the day when people are home from work, but she needs to get into our room. So that is why she is probably hanging around, wishing we'd get out of here.
If you want to see more about where we are staying and a good photo of Joyce and Dan, go to
