The rainy weather, though not particularly comfortable for the hunter, has helped some of our residents bag their deer for this season. Several of our youth have experienced their first successful hunt and their smiles reflect that feeling of accomplishment. There will be stories to tell, to remember.
Michael and Mary Ann Jepsen have been called to serve in the branch presidency of the Legacy 3rd Branch. Mike will serve as the 2nd counselor to President Jay Jensen, Mary Ann is to be the 2nd counselor to the Relief Society president, Nancy G. Jensen.
Angelo Crosland, son of Robert and Phee Crosland, and Karissa Weekes were married last month in Pocatello, ID. Karissa is from Archer, ID, the daughter of Suzanne and Jody Weekes, and is now teaching at Preston’s Pioneer Elementary. Angelo’s brother, Marco Crosland and his wife Christina were able to come from Texas with their family to attend this event. Mario and Amanda Crosland of Smithfield, UT, Celina and Jesse Groesbeck and baby Oakley of Mink Creek, Giovanni and Kristina Crosland and family of Franklin, and Rico Crosland of Mink Creek/ Rexburg (depending on the season), were all able to be there, a fairly big percentage of Angelo’s immediate family. Robert and Phee and Karissa’s parents held a feast for over 100 people following the ceremony as the families celebrated the occasion.
Several days of rain were enough to wash the blood stains that have been on our Highway 35 for at least a month, evidence of collisions with roaming deer as vehicles speed through our village during the dark night hours.
Mink Creek has to recognize the birthday of one of its daughters, although she now lives just south of our village boundary, in Riverdale. Arda Keller Smith is 98 years young, achieving that distinction on October 28, 2021. Even now, with family help, she has a beautiful yard and home, the envy of many. She is an amazing lady and has a memory bank full of the experiences she has had during the last century. She is the wife of the late Theo Smith, the mother of Sam Smith, LaDawn Hansen, Wendy Westerberg, and Kelleen Smith. Happy Birthday, Arda, another one celebrated by the many people she has influenced over the years.
We are looking forward to the end of Daylight Savings Time. For now it is mighty dark when the school bus comes our way in the mornings. The resident turkeys are still slumbering in their night-time tree perches.
