Shelby can be found most weekends tending to her garden or hosting casual gatherings for friends and family. The Guest’s home has an open door policy every Saturday in the Fall where you can find her and Grant avidly watching as many college football games as they can. Grant manning the grill and Shelby covering the sides and dessert! They also have what some may call a “slight obsession” with their Cavalier King Charles puppies, Callie and Tucker. Occasionally, you can also find Shelby dusting off the cobwebs of her golf swing and showing her husband who the boss is on the golf course!
