The Mink Creek LDS Ward has been
participating at the Heritage Home Legacy Branch for the month of
March. We have enjoyed the weekly visit with the residents of that
home and hopefully have met the challenges of coming up with the
various needs that goes with this type of assignment.
Bret and Jodi Rasmussen now officially
part of Mink Creek community. This has always been “home” for
Bret because he grew up here, the son of Garland and Dixie Rasmussen.
Bret left home, got married, raised his family in Riverdale and now
is just returning on a more permanent basis. The are building a new
house with a wonderful view, but with this season of the year and
their ongoing construction they have to deal with lots of mud these
days.
Max and Gretchen Haws and quite a few
family members were up from California to fill the Mink Creek Haws
home with noise and fun. They live in the Santa Barbara area of
southern California.
Marco Crosland and his wife will be
graduating from BYU in April. His major has been landscape
management and he is leaving with more than a smile. Marco has been
part of the landscaping team that competes nationally and this the is
the second year they have come out on top. This year Marco received
the top prize out of 710 students and the recognition will surely
enhance his job possibilities in his landscaping future.
Nate and Dana Olson will host a town
meeting for Idaho Senator Mike Crapo the afternoon of April 4 at
their home on Station Creek Road. Mink Creek residents are welcome
to attend and voice their opinions and ask questions of Senator
Crapo.
Our spring birds are arriving and
trying to adjust to the up and down weather that greets them. When
the skies are bright and blue their presence is much more evident
that when the clouds bring gloom. The calls of the bird society
around encourages us that the seasonal change is struggling to come
in for the long haul.
The first robins have been sighted,
most likely already building nests in my cherry trees, or at least
nearby, just in case that particular fruit might make it past their
observation and into our house. Those birds clean me out of cherries
every season, no matter what my safeguards may be.
Our Spring Break weather for last week
turned out to be a mix. There had been forecasts of the whole week
being rather on the wintery side, but we got some spring days tucked
in on the last part of that week so there was opportunity for some outdoor
fun. It was timed just right for Easter egg hunting.
