Clark Strecker and Austin of Andover and Laura Trebolt of Omaha, Neb., came Saturday afternoon after Austin, a member of the Rose Hill grade school football team, played a game in Newton. They were here until Sunday afternoon. My yard looked like a golf course after they got through mowing and weed eating. They also trimmed some trees. Tailor, a cheerleader for the Rose Hill grade school, didn't come with them. She was invited to a birthday party. I'll treasure a picture Clark gave me of Tailor as a cheerleader.
