Bret and Jody Rasmussen scattered some time with family arrivals. Their youngest daughter, Cheyenne Lloyd and family spent some days with them. The Lloyds are currently living in Japan where Cheyenne’s husband is deployed. A bit later another daughter, Brandi and her family enjoyed some Mink Creek time.
Brooke and Josh Reichman were up for a weekend stay with her family. They celebrated the break from school at BYU in Provo, UT, by coming home to the Corbetts, Sherrie and Shane Corbett and Brooke’s brother Austin. Home is a good place to recharge.
Memorial Day increases our local population by about 3 times. So many people come home. There is no way to begin to name all the wonderful friends that were here over those 3 days.
The Hansen House, recently completed on the Hugh and Bonnie Hansen farm, was full of activity. Wes and Heather Hansen and family now live in Ogden, Pat and Dirk Bowles are just down the road in Fairview, ID, and Roxanne and Wes Beutler are over on the west side in Dayton.
Lisa and Sid Whitehouse have been back for a couple of weeks from their new home on the east coast.
Dwain and Carrie Larsen drove down from their home in the Ketchum area and so many memories surfaced. We don’t get to see them often.
Terry and Hayes Carr of Centerville, UT, combined the holiday with the graduating of their daughter, Courtney from USU. Terry is the daughter of MaryJean Rasmussen and the late Larry Rasmussen.
JoAnn and Kevin Auger joined the Jepsen families. Her brother Glen Jepsen and nephew, Kerry Jepsen and family both live on Bear Creek and it was a good time of memories and sharing. The Augers live in Woodland Hills, in Utah.
The Mink Creek cemetery is a beautiful place all year round with a beautiful view of our little valley and then extends to the mountains far to the west. There is even a field of nature’s flowers that crown the top of the area, full of golden mule’s ears at this time of year. Many thanks to those who take care of this sacred acreage.
This isn’t quite within the boundaries of Mink Creek, just over the lower border. A new house is going up in the Narrow Estates. Word has it that it is to be the home of Doug and Diane Higley. There are now 4 homes in that subdivision, and likely more to come.
The fields of alfalfa are being dropped both on irrigated fields and dryland. One can certainly see the difference that water can make in the yield of the crop. With the early heat this year the bales are being hauled off as quickly as possible in order to begin irrigating again, in the hope of a decent second crop.
