Couple of guys from Montana came to visit: 15-year-old nephew Will, a good student and star athlete, and his Spanish teacher/fishing guide/St. Louis Cardinals-fan dad, Matt.
Bonding was soon underway.
Will grew a bit since a 2015 visit with his mom, Hope — back in his days of reading Harry Potter.
Spring weather greeted the guy-trip visitors this year.
Curious neighbors passed by.
A local character entertained Matt.
Strawberry-rhubarb pie quieted dinner table conversation with bike riders Tom and Susan, one of Will’s aunts.
Cowboy got a lecture on clothing theft and was nicknamed Ladrón.
And, boy, did he look deflated when the fun guys headed back north.
