Sorry about missing last week, it was a bit much for me and I totally spaced posting it. Death, illness, friends---all took precedence over the blog, as well they should.
Eldon and Danita Wilcox have had family members on the doorstep much of the summer months. The David and Lesli Evans family live the furthest away in the Dallas, TX area and this summer were able to come for a lengthy stay. They took in a trip to Yellowstone and Teton National Parks and Lesli’s siblings dropped in and out all through the stay for family fun: mostly local small town stuff and a trip to Lava Hot Springs. Siblings are Brigham, Elise, Ami, MacKenzie, Brittany, and Jesse. Jesse is the only one who now lives in Mink Creek.
Jeannine and Johnny Iverson have done considerable entertaining lately. Jeannine’s sister from Herriman, UT, a brother from Colorado and another brother from Delta, UT, has all come by for some good time with the Iversons.
Brooke and Josh Reichman, students in Provo, UT, are staying with her parents, Sherrie and Shane Corbett, while anticipating the start up of college studies this fall.
Robert and Phee Crosland embarked on a cruise to Alaska. This was to celebrate their 40th Wedding Anniversary, but a year later, due to last year’s restrictions. They enjoyed the beautiful country, did some hiking and discovering. One discovery was to notice the fragile economic situation of the Alaskan tourist industry with a number of things shut down.
Our youth combined with those of the Riverdale 1st Ward to have a Spartan Race at the Erickson pond. They made up four teams of five individuals, each team required to overcome various obstacles, being timed as they proceeded. Obstacles were: a rope climb on a cliff made of three stacked hay bales, trudging through knee-deep mud, swinging on a rope across a large mud hole, carrying a 5 gallon bucket filled with water a specified distance, throwing a spear at a target, running up a hill to reach the water slide that would bring them back to the starting point. Organizers were Bishop Paul McKay, Bret Rasmussen and the young men of the priest’s quorum.
We have had a quick, sharp change in weather. Much needed rain came through the smoke filled skies and continued in various degrees of intensity for a couple of days. The temperature dropped significantly and reminded us that the fall season is approaching.
Be aware, it is zucchini season, at least in this area. I am not complaining because I like them, but such vegetables are apt to show up on your doorsteps, unannounced. Neighbors have shared these, cucumbers and beans with me, perfect for this year of no garden for our place.
