As we pull into the driveway, we are blown away at how good the garden looks. We feel lucky that we have such a beautiful place to return too.

Rachel and Patrick HugensTo Rachael AndersonPatrick has remodeled over the 26 years that we've owned the house, and definitely made a haven. Why are not particularly sad, just disappointed, to return home without the GDMBR ride. Totally appreciate the encouragement from you and Scott. I'll be 72 in August, just hard to admit aging changes.
