October 27, 2020, pre Halloween

 

Mario and Amanda Crosland and Rico Crosland headed to east coast to spend a few days with their brother Armando Crosland. Armando works in Washington DC. This was great timing for the fall beauty of the New England states to add to the many worthwhile places to search in the nation’s capitol.

Brigham Wilcox and three of his children came down for a great visit with his parents, Eldon and Danita Wilcox. This younger Wilcox family live in Idaho Falls and enjoyed some time in the country.

Matt Egley has wrapped up another season of racing, much of it done at the Magic Valley Speedway. This year he has piloted a bright yellow car that was easy to spot among the other entries. Matt was awarded the Division 1 NASCAR Rookie of the year. Racing is his passion and has been so since his youth. When he isn’t racing he hauls heavy loads of hay with a semi for Egley Farms.

David Seamons, son of Jeff and Jennifer Seamons, has received a call to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The call is to the Argentina, Cordoba, Mission and his departure date is in January.

Lorraine Christensen was doing a grandmother-babysitting visit with her daughter Carrie Melton in Layton, UT. While in that area Lorraine was able to attend the viewing for Verdell Pace Call, a past Mink Creek resident who recently passed away unexpectedly. Verdell’s children: Wynette, Paula and Preston were pleased to reconnect with friends from their childhood. Their sister, Jodi, who now lives in North Carolina, was unable to attend her mother’s funeral due to illness in her family and current travel restrictions. .

The deer seem to be in danger on the highway as much as from the hunting season. Three spots on the highway indicating accidents over a couple of days within just a six miles stretch.


The big freeze left no question as to whether there was a lingering flower blossom or a surviving, well covered, tomato. Gone! No complaints, it is the end of October.

We have had Mink Creek girls participating in winning teams with their high school teams. PHS took District Champs in volleyball and now have state competition ahead of them. PHS girls soccer team came home as State Champions. Of course the Citizen will cover all of this but I had to mention that Mink Creekers were part of the gang.

Happy Halloween, however limited it may be with current restrictions, the happy part is all up to ourselves!
