Keegan Rosenberry Fine-Tunes His Golf Skills

“I’ve never really messed around inside the house," Rosenberry said. "I’ve putted on the wood floor before though. I just went out and got ping-pong balls and went out of my way to get some cups, so, yeah, I had some fun with it.”

Clint Irwin Built a Garden

Clint Irwin and his wife, Kasey, have been focused on getting their yard ready for an expansive garden. Irwin is hoping the gardening leads into another hobby, too: brewing beer. “I actually just ordered the barley seeds and the rhizomes for the hops,” Irwin said. “I’ve actually never done any home brewing, so while they’re growing and harvesting, I’m going to put some practice in and try to perfect my recipe. I thought it was something cool, with so many craft brewers here in Colorado you kind of get some inspiration to try a hand at this as well.”
