We were grateful that the last power outage was of a relatively short duration. It served as a reminder to keep our alternate lighting systems handy because there is no warning for the unplanned situations.
A new grand child has arrived for family of Phee and Robert Crosland. Marco and Christina Crosland have a new little girl down there in Texas. She is named Arienna Rae Crosland, weighed 8 lb. 8 oz, and was 21 inches in height. They live in Pilot Point, north of Dallas.
Juliana and Blaine Packer and their children Cedar, Kimber and Casen have been home for a visit with her parents, LaRon and Liesa Baird. They were able to see her brother Dallon in the high school musical. Juliana, who lives in Jackson, ID, came to join her grandmother, Lana McCracken, in watching over her siblings while mom Liesa was able to go on a sisters’ retreat in Park City, UT. Liesa’s sisters and sisters-in-law, joined efforts to create a wedding dress for one of their daughters while having fun just being together. Some came from a considerable distance: Germany, Louisiana, and Oregon.
Some of the Young Women of the community took one of their Saturdays and ventured forth into our nearby forests in the quest for Christmas trees for several residents of our village. The girls were Jyllian Christensen and Emma Rasmussen, assisted by their leaders, YW President Jody Rasmussen, her husband Brett, and ReNae Egley.
Jim and Debbie Harrison left the warmer days of St George, UT, for a cool weekend in Mink Creek at their home here. It is always good to batten down the hatches in preparation for this season’s change.
Ben and Molly Collins Seamons were able to participate in their temple sealing at the Logan Temple. They were married last spring in North Carolina, Molly’s home state. Ben is the son of Jeff and Jennifer Seamons. The following evening family and friends celebrated this event with a “meet and greet” time at the Mink Creek church house. Ben and Molly have spent their summer month in the northwest with summer employment..
We are still dealing with an occasional case of the COVID-19 among our residents. Ivan McCracken got past his quarantine time, but continued having to deal with some after effects for several more weeks. It is good to see him out and about a bit more.
The holiday spirit is spreading with lighted decorations seen in the darkness as one drives through the village. Even with only snow in patches here and there, the time of year helps that isolation in this year of craziness.
