<\/a><\/p>\nShirley put us up for three nights in her home, The Holland House<\/a>, a\u00a0historic landmark designed by famed architect Eugene Groves. Ten years ago, \u00a0the three of us toured more of his work at Colorado State University. Photo Essay here: CSU Campus Tour with Shirley<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mahlon, who you’ll see further on down this page, and Shirley were best man and maid of honor at our wedding<\/a>, July 31, 1994. Especially poignant to see Emily in her wedding dress twenty-two years ago.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The weather was perfect so we spent most of our time at the round table on the back patio. Michael came by with fried chicken and Cathi brought art supplies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0 The ever-lovely Amy shed her shoes immediately in Shirley’s well-groomed back yard. While many of the adjacent lots in this Denver neighborhood are sprouting mammoth construction projects with only six feet of walking space between wall and property line, Shirley’s lush lot remains a haven of wildlife and repose.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Molly and Shane joined the rest of the family for an afternoon of relaxed post-wedding catching up. Amy’s dog Osha, Caroline, Molly, Nolan, and Lorraine enjoy the shade of Shirley’s big trees.<\/p>\n Grandpa Bob and Nolan engage in some quality bonding.<\/p>\n Paul and\u00a0Lorraine in the afterglow of a beautiful\u00a0wedding. Brother Michael delved into deep topics with Paul.<\/p>\n Weeks ago, when Camille told Shirley that she’d invited “everybody, their brother, and their dog” to the garden party, Shirley\u00a0took it literally and said, “That would be great if they bring their dogs!”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nolan is cutting teeth, which requires buckets\u00a0of drool.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Both Camille and Michael got behind the lens.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Paul, Camille, Bob, Molly, Shane, Tyler, Emily, and Lorraine on the patio. Amy, Nolan, Steven, Caroline, and the dogs on the lawn.<\/p>\n It was the perfect day, and perfect way to unwind after wedding\u00a0week. Thank you, Shirley!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bob drove out to Boulder to see Mahlon while Camille and Cathi went for a long walk along the Highline Canal in Denver.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Vice partners, Mahlon and Bob figured out the selfie thing and took a picture of one of their favorite activities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0 Camille tried out a trike in Michael’s back yard and Bob got all caught up with Garth in his back yard.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We were taken by this expressive painting on Michael’s wall, a picture he made a few years ago. Amazing how a few strokes\u00a0can say so much: vulnerable, steadfast, solitary, and optimistic.<\/p>\n Unrivaled hospitality in Shirley’s beautiful home, a garden party with family, breakfast with Cathi and Fred, visits with brother Michael, Mahlon, and Garth – September 4 through 7, 2016 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n PATIO TIME WITH SHIRLEY <\/p>\n \n Shirley put us up for three nights in her home, The Holland House, a historic landmark […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10247,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sub-story","odd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10184"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10184\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12094,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10184\/revisions\/12094"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}WE GO WAY BACK<\/h3>\n
