Susie smiles. Besides the home itself, the adjacent guest house (converted from a workshop) welcomes visitors. I was excited to see that brown & gold pride is also proudly on display in the guest house décor. When guests are visiting, they must always be prepared to show their Cowboy spirit. Susie makes sure she’s ready for any occasion with the ‘free closet.’ Shelves are labeled with youth and adult sizes, and t-shirts, hats, etc. are neatly organized and ready for any such emergency. “I just pick things up throughout the year so that it’s always stocked and ready to go,” Susie explains. There were three spaces that were real treats to visit: the media room, workout center and the mud room. The mud room, you ask? Well, it was a little something in the mud room that my husband would drool over – a kegerator. “We often enjoy local beer from Altitude {Chophouse & Brewery} on tap,” Susie says. An ice machine is ready for entertaining needs, and a neon Coors sign that says ‘Go Pokes’ is waiting for business. After one has poured their favorite local microbrew, the upstairs media room is a place to unwind, catch a game or a movie, and enjoy that drink. The media room is also prepared for the kiddos that visit – a popcorn machine stands ready in the corner, and theater-style candy lines an adjacent table. “The kids always say, ‘Mom, the candy is free!’” Susie laugh
