自我介绍

We are a retired couple married for 42 years. Patti is a retired school teacher who has taught remedial reading to elementary students preK - 5th grade. Reading has always been very important to her and it is one of her favorite hobbies, especially during the winter months or summer vacations. Richard is a retired Physician Assistant who practiced Family Medicine for 42 years. His profession led us to live in Colorado, Arizona, and now Michigan. It was here where we were blessed to adopt our 2 beautiful daughters who grew up in our current home. Our oldest is a clinical Psychologist practicing in Astoria, OR while our youngest is married and lives approximately 2 miles from us. She and her husband have given us 2 handsome grandsons and a beautiful granddaughter with whom we spend as much time as possible. Since we are “empty nest-ers” now, we are excited about opening our home to old and new friends. We love working around our house especially in our flower gardens. We continue to expand our outdoor living space so we can offer a respite for those who enjoy relaxing in nature. We also enjoy collecting antiques. Wine tasting is something we have started to explore recently and are discovering the vast selection of wineries in Michigan. Our home is quiet so if you want to come and relax, this is the place. We will be here if you need us or want to visit, but we won’t intrude if you’re looking for time by yourself. Welcome!
