June 30, 2015

           The Haws family BroMoto ride took place this month. Brothers, plus in-laws and Dad, Karl Haws, spend several days on their bikes, riding Idaho. With three days of riding, they enjoyed 125 miles of back country around here and Soda Springs. At the end of each day a visit to Riverdale Resort soaked off the grime. This years participants were Karl, his sons Aaron, Adam, Kasey and Max, plus Ken Nash and two grandsons, Sam Haws and Nelson Nash. They avoid cooking so Preston food spots are the sources of sustenance during this adventure. Julie Haws, wife of Kasey, enjoyed some Mink Creek down time while the guys were roaring about.
             Tony Mainini graduated from Idaho State University. The son of Steve and Terry Mainini. Tony's area of study was Information Technology Systems. His early hobby has become his source of employment as an IT Specialist for the Pocatello School District.
           RaNae and Doug Mellor were visiting family in Station Creek. She is the sister of Jimmie Olson and Nate Olson. The Mellors live in Meridian, ID.
           Fred and Victoria Christensen spent the weekend with his parents, Lorraine and Royce Christensen. Lorraine has been back east visiting Carrie and Ken Melton and their children in Indiana. While in that location she took the opportunity to visit the Church History sites around, Kirtland, OH.
           Bob and Claudia Erickson had a houseful lately. Two daughters and families came for a summer vacation, filling up empty rooms. Claudine and LaMar McKague, with four children , live in Vancouver, WA. Carla Nielsen plus two sons came up from American Fork, UT, for some cousin time. While here Sam McKague, recently returned from a mission in Brazil, gave a slide show of his time there. Adding the family of Laural and Jody Janke to the audience made up a good sized group.

          The temperatures are more than toasty. 104 was registered a few days past. It makes a person glad for dry weather, just imagine how it would feel with humidity thrown in!
           Mink Creekers and friends are gearing up for our annual July 4th celebration at the ballpark. It is great that there is lots of shade to offer for visiting time as families return home for the festivities.
           We have a young skunk in our neighborhood who does not follow the usual rules. He(or she) parades through my backyard in the early morning hours, very sure of himself. He is just as likely to show up later in the day on the front side of the house, staying clear of the highway. This makes me a little nervous about being outdoors myself, seeing as how the two of us may have a conflict on just whose place this is! So far I haven't seen this beautiful creature at night, and I always thought that skunks were nocturnal. I am learning to look about before proceeding, day or night, with this little striped teacher.
