January 8, 2019


           Jared and Juli Egley and children spent part of their Christmas break in New York City with its extra sparkle for the holidays. They soaked up a performance of the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall,checked out the Empire State Building and the Rockefeller Center and the Statue of Liberty. It was braving frigid cold temperature with the additional humidity from the nearby ocean.
           JR and Elaine Rasmussen and their boys, William and Luke, came up from Riverdale, UT, for Christmas doings with JR's parents, Mary Jean and Larry Rasmussen. Later Terry Carr, daughter of the Rasmussens who now lives in Centerville, UT, was able to spend the long weekend here and helped with putting away of all the Christmas decorations. That is an extra holiday gift most appreciated.
           California lost one couple for the holidays. Adam and Camene Haws and their four children spent their days in snowy Mink Creek at the Haws home. They live in Solvang, CA. Camene's parents, Kim and Richard Morrison of Riverdale, UT, joined them for some family time.
           The holidays attracted Lillian and Larry Hansen and some of their family up from Utah to enjoy winter life in Mink Creek as opposed to the fun summer month visits. Another pair of 'in and out' Mink Creek householder was Jeff and Julie Workman of Stansbury Park, UT.
           Five young men of the community enjoyed three days of a Winter High Adventure recently with a trip to West Yellowstone. For some of them it was the first time they had ridden snowmobiles. They rode through the winter creations and recognized the source of all that beauty. They increased in avalanche awareness, always a good thing in winter mountains. In preparation they had to focus on the goals of the trip and what they might learn from the experience. The three Iverson sons, Charles, Walter and Andrew, Dallon Baird and Austin Corbett, were accompanied by leaders Shane Corbett, Sid Whitehouse, and Bishop Kurt Iverson and their advisers, Lin McKay and Bret Rasmussen, both with years of snowmobiling activities under their belts.

             Marie A. Keller has moved to Pennsylvania. She has been a teacher and nurturer of our young children and will be missed. She has also had a menagerie of pets that are surely aware of her absence as new owners are found.
            Our college age kids have scattered to their various institutions of learning. I may miss a few, but recall seeing River McKay, Clair and Clay Jepsen, Celina and Rico Crosland, Ben Seamons, Brooke Corbett, and McKinley Longhurst.
