August 3, 2022

 

There have been many loads of logs being trucked up our canyon on Highway 36. Our assumption is that they are headed to the Jensen’s Lumber Company’s sawmill in Ovid, ID, over on the other side of the canyon.

Loaded dump trucks have also made their way in our direction, and having dumped they head back south to the valley for a repeat performance. We are not certain of their destination or of the project that may be going forth. There are a number of buildings in the making in the area so it might be multiple projects.

The Worm Creek Theater is one of the favorite places during any production times because several of our residents participate in this endeavor. For the Wizard of Oz, recently onstage, there has been Ty Jepsen in two roles: as a crow and also as one of those flying monkeys, Madelaine Erickson as a beautiful Munchkin. This year the Wizard was played by Paul Swainston, ex-Mink Creek, with his deep bass voice to grab attention.

Connie Westenskow brought her Young Women’s group to her family’s campground this year. They had plenty of space, plenty of water play, plenty of fun.

Bret and Jody Rasmussen have been entertaining grandchildren much of this summer. Grand children seem to grow up faster than their parents did and the time spent goes quickly.

Larry and Lillian Hansen are here for the summer months. Their grown children and families are in and out during these warm days for a change of pace in “the country.”

This is a big month for our horse riding young ladies being involved in parades as rodeo royalty around the valley. This includes three Christensen girls, Jyllian, Greenlee and Kassidy and Jancy Henderson. It is an exciting time, but keeps them and their families busy.

Elder Eldon and Sister Danita Wilcox are serving a mission in Pennsylvania at Church Historic Sites. Very recently they welcomed a young lady missionary who had just been transferred there. It was Sister Brexli Ware, daughter of Jeff and Bobbi Ware of Preston’s 4th Ward. Sister Ware had been serving at New York sites and this was a surprise to both parties to find someone from home.

Semi’s loaded with hay are part of this time of year, moving bales from field to buyers’ barns. Gardens are producing, but grasshoppers are threatening. They like the green stuff. All part of the environmental scene and with a hot dry year it seems the bug population increases.
