Brock nd Catherine Goff and their family have moved to Mink Creek from the area around Malta. There are four children: Emma, a teenager, Jacob and Olivia who will add to the small numbers of our primary age group, and Evie, a cute baby girl with a smile that sparkles. They have moved into the rental home of Paul and Terrie McKay on Bear Creek Road. The Goff’s are friends of Doug and Beverly Bruderer, Mink Creek residents, with Doug and Brock both drivers of milk trucks.
The community wants to say a big “Thank You” to Glen Smedley. He is the driver of our school bus of the Preston School District. Driving a school bus is not an easy job and requites a good dose of patience and good humor, and one where sleeping in is not an option every school day of the week. We appreciate Glen’s efforts in behalf of our kids and families.
Pedro and Avery Gomez have been having some grandparent fun while watching over Flint and Taylor Van Buren. They have had a night at the movies, and lots of outdoor fun, regardless of the chilly temperatures. Outdoors is just part of life with this Pedro grandpa. These two youngsters belong to Nicole and Matt Van Buren of Grace.
Winter is on its way, officially. Bishop Paul McKay of the LDS Ward invited the congregation of Mink Creek to consider signing up for Snow Shoveling for the coming months. The inviting sign-up sheet is posted on the Ward’s bulletin board. A plus to this activity is a new snow-blower used to help on the job.
The turkeys have returned from the higher elevations of summer. Now they are invading yards, garden spots, fields, even paved parking lots. They think they own the place when in reality they are imports, brought in by the Fish and Game Department to our area a little over 25 years ago.
In the countdown before Thanksgiving. Homes are getting ready for arrivals, or making plans to go elsewhere over the next few days. Women are wondering if their menu planning is sufficient, or way too much, as the clock ticks closer. The weather is dry for driving. It is cold, and colder when the sun goes down. I wonder how many families are planning homestyle football activity during this cold holiday. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Remember why we have this holiday, it is not about the food.
