July 19, 2016

            Many thanks to the Idaho State highway crew for mowing those tall grasses that bordered the highway through our little town and beyond. This will save some lives of our deer population and other wildlife as they are prone to pop out of the growth into the roadway when least expected. Also, it will significantly improve the vision of our human approaches to merge with the highway from the six main intersections throughout the length of our community.

            Hannah Singleton and her sons have been visiting her parents, Wynn and Cecelie Costley.. The Singleton family lives in Eldorado, AR. Her siblings who live within driving distance have gathered off and on during her stay. Lots of cousin time at the Costley residence lately.

           Ivan McCracken returned from a trip to his native Canada. His mission was helping older brother Sam who was moving into a home in Raymond, Alberta. Sam and his wife Roberta were returning from the Philippines so Ivan enlisted the help of the LDS Ward to get the house in shape.

           The entire family of Jimmie and Anna Beth Olson were here, totaling up to quite a few people. Jerry and Christine Olson and children are in St. George, UT. Mike and Anna Olson and children live in Brigham City, UT. Lydia and Jason Stucki and family call Moscow, ID home. Dana and Charles Peterson and youngsters reside in Meridian and Peggy and Jon Flinders and their girls are at home in Rigby. The Olsons were glad to have their bunkhouses ready and available.

         It has been quite a while since we have had some visiting time with George and Judy Rasmussen. They came up for our 4th celebration and now live in Highland, UT.

           Marie Keller is home after nearly a month in the Midwest visiting her children.  They live in Indiana around Portage and Ft. Wayne. There was a family wedding while she was there so it lent itself to a family reunion.



          The drying southern winds are making themselves known. If the land isn't under irrigation the appearance is one of dryness. Dryland fields are full of cracks in the surface of the ground, suggesting caution when walking across so a foot doesn't drop in an unexpected hole.

           Justin Longhurst has undergone surgery on a foot that was damaged in a recent race. He took a bad tumble on his racing bike during a competition.  It takes the fun our of the hobby for a time.
