Sounds great! When are you accepting guests?
And if your parents need decluttering of their "stuff," I can help. Low rates for people who let me board with them

Re: We are Going to Be Snowbirds
Wow, Peaby. You're not old enough to be a snowbird, so just tell people you married much older, and that Sting is 'of a certain age.' It's great that your business allows this flexibility, so you can be there for your parents. You'll be so glad you could do it.
