We are a husband-and-wife with seven children, but now we are empty nesters. We love opening our home to people who are traveling to see America and wanting to improve their English.
We live in Southern California in the Mojave Desert, which is a valley surrounded by mountains on the famous Route 66.
Our religious beliefs are christian, based on the teaching of the Bible, however, we love to host all beliefs. We do not drink alcohol or smoke in our home.
The help we need will be projects around our 10 acre property: yard work, painting, cooking, cleaning, etc. We would like for our guests to be immersed in our lives as much as possible. You can go with us wherever we go. We love to cook, play games and spend time outside. We are very involved in church, and during the summer involved in kids camps. Come and see the beautiful desert in California and enjoy spending time with our family, getting to know our friends and swim in our pool. We look forward to meeting you.
Because of our space we would like to host up to seven workawayers. Girls will share bedrooms and bathrooms with girls, and boys will share bedrooms and bathrooms with boys.
We don't have a lot of projects to do, so we usually don't host more than two weeks at a time. I know a lot of workawayers are looking for long stays, but at our home your stay will be up to two weeks. Occasionally we can accept for longer length of time.

We speak only English, but would love to help anyone improve their English. The benefit you will receive during your stay is to get to know people from a different culture and experience our life style and how the environment is effected in the desert with different walks of people. We are involved in a group that is trying to grow native flora and fruits and vegetables. However, it is very limited, but you can be involved in that if it is active during your stay. There are some nearby hikes such as Odessa canyon and Saw Tooth Canyon, where some people like to rock climb. We also have Calico Ghost Town nearby and Liberty Sculpture Park which is free and interesting to see. We like to cook as healthy as we can and enjoy all cuisine. We can cook vegan or gluten free, however we enjoy all foods in our home. We network with the people in our community and share foods that are grown or given to the lower income areas and like to use what is given to us and not be wasteful. Come and experience the benefits of hard work, rest, leisure and sight seeing.

We are always doing home improvements around our home and property. Sometimes there might be help that involves digging, building, painting and gardening and other times it might simply be cleaning.
Our family likes to do volunteer work in our community, and if we are involved in that work, we would want you to be involved with us.
