Fred and Marguerite Utech hosted a six o'clock barbecue dinner at their home Sunday in honor of Sallie and Raymond Utech of Collierville, Tenn., children of Mr. and Mrs. Marlin Utech of Collierville.

Marcel Benda picked up Bob and Lorena Pospisil of Libuse, La., and me May 24 and took us to their home so we didn't have to drive the muddy roads to their place. We visited with Marcel, Irma, and William for about three hours, then Marcel and Irma brought us back to my home where the men helped Clark Strecker fix his lawn mower. Bob and Lorena are not used to mud roads.

I received a call from Lowell and family Friday night. They said they drove in snow, rain, and hail while going through the mountains. They were going to Yellowstone Park the next day. They are on vacation.
Larry Rudolph and I called on Kim Antoszyk and children in Ramona Sunday afternoon.
There is a lot of hay down because of a lot of rain. Too much rain wheat heads are turning white.
