Sherrie Corbett and Candy Longhurst are enjoying the fall weather while hiking various trails. Not all of them are nearby. Recently they were hiking on mountains in Colorado. This one was near Manitou Springs, with beautiful scenery that goes along with many of our nation’s National Forests.
The Christensen girls, Cassidy, Greenlee and Jyllian, have been exhibiting their equestrian skills at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. Cassidy and Greenlee came home with 1st place ribbons for Walking and Trotting, and Western Pleasure in their age divisions. Jyllian placed 4th in her age division of Western Pleasure. These young horsewomen are the daughters of Lacey and Kerry Christensen
George Garr, turned 90 years old on the 27th of August. He and his wife, Bobbi had a nice birthday party at their son John’s home. About 40 friends and relatives celebrated with them. George reported there was great food and lots of dancing. The Garrs live in Lakewood, CA, and have had a home in Mink Creek for many years.
Eldon and Danita Wilcox have a new grandchild. MaKenzie and Tyson Gunter of Arimo, ID, brought a new little girl, Jillian Rae Gunter, into the world on September 9, 2021 in Pocatello. This little one has a fan club already with her ‘big’ brother and sister.
We have had some cloudbursts of rain lately, short in length but furious while it lasted. The winds lashing, trees whipping about like Harry Potter’s Whomping Willow. Occasionally there are tree limbs ripped off in the process, along with scattered pine cones and evacuated bird nests.
When the LoToJa bike riders made their annual way through our community last weekend some of the bike riders got a thorough dousing during a heavy rain storm. Rain jackets covered up their tag numbers, they had water streaming down themselves and the bikes, but the sogginess didn’t seem to deter these determined individuals much. A person couldn’t help but wonder what weather might they find, north up the canyon, when they got to Copenhagen at the top, or to Emigration.
It is harvest time for the potato growers around here. Gem Valley is a busy place right now, full of trucks and equipment in their fields. We took a beautiful drive over Maple Grove Road with the leaves changing colors. The scenery was great, but the road was lots of bumps and jiggles.
With a couple of freezing night temperatures we have to agree with the calendar that Fall is officially here.
