Tricia had arranged for me to enter the house, though she was on vacation. Her adult daughters took good care of the process and I felt very welcome. The exiting guests were also very helpful in giving me suggestions for the neighborhood restaurants.

When Tricia arrived home she greeted me warmly and we connected on many levels including my Iowa background and her husband's book in progress about an Iowa family. It was an altogether comfortable stay.

My stay was only one night but I could easily have stayed much longer. The back deck and patio are delightful. I wish I could have spent more time hanging out there. The experience definitely gave me a people sense of Denver.
