Recent storms we have been having
caused some interesting visual affects.
Snow fell for 5 days, then a day of rain, followed by one with
winds. As a result we had ripples in the
snow. The surfaces on the hillsides
appeared like vertical waves, on the few, flatter areas it was like a wind
chopped lake, all frozen in white. It
made for fascinating shadows when the sun light was slanting downward.
The Mink Creek LDS Ward held its annual
Conference on Feb. 9th with stake officers from the Preston North
Stake attending. The membership was
particularly please to hear from President Dax Keller and both of his
counselors, Richard Swainston and Blayne Rounds. A special musical number, Love One Another,
was sung by the ward choir under the direction of Jennifer Seamons. Three of the Seamons family, Ben, Samuel and
David, provided a string trio as part of the selection.
On a dark and icy night a
southbound car slid off the sloping Highway 36 down into a pasture. This was near milepost seven. A young couple
who had been visiting friends in Bear Lake were on their way homeward, back to college in Utah. Emergency outfits arrived, along with law enforcement;
the couple was found to be ok and able to continue on their way.
Kathy and Austin Jones took the
opportunity of a wedding anniversary to take a five night cruise of the Caribbean. They
love those blue, blue waters. The ship
docked at Belize and Cozumel and the Jones’ climbed ancient ruins, did some
shopping, and just had fun in general.
Their 35th anniversary happened in December, but the
celebration was delayed until February, because they received a new grandbaby
in December.
Josh and Judith Newby drove down
from Rexburg for a weekend with his parents, Sharla and Lin McKay. Josh
is a student at BYU/Idaho, and a break from studies is a good thing.
Sister Macy Jepsen has headed to
the MTC in Provo. She now gets to tackle the learning of the
language of Cambodia
where she will be serving her mission.
Two Mink Creekers got together
while having a stay at the Franklin
County Hospital
and reminisced about their “old days.”
Both Bob Erickson and Leness Keller enjoyed their growing up years
here. The stories they could tell---but
I promised not to put them in print.
Mud season may come early this year,
we have been getting rain, to the point that my backyard is nearly bare of
snow. I can hear a mourning dove that
must be winterized calling from across the valley. He is a bit off the time table, but welcome
all the same.
