I would NEVER do that.
Do you feel safe doing that?!
What would possess you to do this?!
Well, here we go, that Spouse o' Mine and I, taking on a fun fun week of ...fun!!
A few weeks ago we received an email from our local university (K-State!), saying that some cyclists from another university were looking for Spring Break homestays for this week. They (from up north) were looking for some place in a lower latitude, in which to ride their bikes, sans snow and ice. They picked K-State. And...we...picked..them!!
Yes! We love having college kids stay with us. They can be cyclists, runners, agriculture students, musicians, international students, visiting whomevers, ...we take them! We thrive in this. So, this week we are keeping four kids (i.e., adult university students) from up north: North Dakota.
How is it going,you ask?
Awesome! These guys are self-sufficient. We told them in our initial email: Breakfasts are coffee (us) or cold cereal (them). Lunches are whatever they come up with. Evening dinners are made by me, for all. If anyone gets hungry anytime else, the kitchen is open to their cooking. (Our own familial cyclists consume approximately 3000 calories/day, so it's difficult to gauge how much to cook per person.) And, there is always Aggieville not too far down the road. Interestingly, not one of the cyclists went anywhere this week except on bike rides, until last night when a couple went to a movie.
The North Dakota cyclists left late this afternoon. I guess their homestay went ok. They asked if they could come back and stay with us next weekend during races...

Those North Dakota kids are great aren't they?! Being one of them myself I suppose I'm biased a bit though! Which school were they from?
I might start riding a bike if I knew that you would prepare supper for me every night!
They ARE great! They are from the University of North Dakota. And one from Minnesota. (U Minn? I am not sure.)
These guys are coming back next week, and bringing two more w/ them this time.
