It is a good thing that Jeff and Julie Workman made some local phone calls before they came up to spend a few days at their Mink Creek home. The driveway to their house was filled with a five foot drift of snow. The Workmans brought up some grandchildren to have winter fun in their Idaho retreat.
Courtney Carr, currently a student at Utah State University, enjoyed a few days with her grandmother, Mary Jean Rasmussen. Courtney looks so much like her mother and here in Mink Creek where her mom grew up, she may be mistaken for the same. Courtney’s parents, Hays and Terrie Carr live in Centerville, UT.
There has been a shake-up for some of the assignments of the Relief Society women in the Mink Creek ward who volunteer for ministerial callings. Changes are like a shot in the arm, but totally unlike a vaccination. These put a little more energy in the step and get creative thinking underway. Both partners and responsibilities may have taken a new direction.
The Syringa Camp of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers met at Julie Westerberg’s home in Preston this past month. Julie and Linda Carlson were co-hostesses for the meeting. Lorraine Christensen presented a lesson on the topic of Pioneer Romances and that spiked a lot of interest. Women are just grownup girls and romances have a forever appeal. Julie gave a personal history of her great-great grandmother.
The bitter cold we are experiencing lately contributes some beauty to winter days. The Jack Frost display on our windows is always beautiful and full of interesting designs. Nature’s artwork.
I thought the swans that have been wintering on the backwaters of the Oneida Reservoir had departed. That was wrong, they were just gathering in a spot closer to the dam. March came in like a lamb this year, which gives us hope that we may yet have some storms that will bring us more moisture. The waterpack in our mountains lessens with each warm, dry day.
