August 11, 2015

         Rodeo weekend and the high school class reunions are the reason for a number of visitors as August gets underway. Jacob and Ranette Free and their two children drove over from Pinedale, WY, to shelp with rodeo parade preparations at his dad's ranch. Richard and Vickie Free raise Paso de Fino horses and enjoy the parade ride.
         The five children of Freemon and Ada Jepsen all gathered together at their parents home, the first time they have all been able to make it for many years, Bruce Jepsen, Dan Jepsen. Marilyn Godfrey, JoAnn Auger and Glen Jepsen, plus all their spouses, had a great time reminiscing about their growing up years on the farm. Although the siblings are now scattered they have kept an interest in their parents home,
        Karen and Layne Erickson enjoyed a visit from their yongest daughter, Connie and her husband Adam Westenskow. Connie and Adam live in Logan
          Three young adult of our community are making marriage plans for this fall. Tiffany Longhurst, daughter of Sheldon and Candy, has an August date with Spencer Wheeler of Parma, ID. Alexis Iverson, daughter of Kurt and Margret Iverson, and Scott Strong of Spanish Fork, UT, will wed in September. Cody McKay, son of Paul a d Terrie McKay, has also chosen September for a wedding date with Kevyn Bruce of Globe, AZ.
        Two young men with recent birthdays were ordained to the office of priest in the LDS Ward. Ben Seamons is the son of Jeff and Jennifer Seamons, Andy McKay, the son of of Paul and Terrie McKay.
         Terry and Hayes Carr and family came up from Utah to visit with her parents, Mary Jean and Larry Rasmussen. Carrie and Ken Melton and their two boys are visiting her parents, Lorraine and Royce Christensen The Melton family lives in Indiana.

        We are having a day here and there where it is feeling like Fall is on its way. It seems a bit early but then this whole year has been on a tipped schedule. Due to frequent rainstorms the countryside still looks fairly green, as though the dryness of harvest is being held at bay.
          Last week sent a couple of storms that had our streets serving as swift waterways as the heavy rain made its way down to the creeks, flowing to the mouth of Mink Creek where it empties into Bear River. There was thunder and lightening popping about, but no reports of damage as a result.
