Halloween, 2023

 

Hunting season is about done. There have been several reports of successful hunts and for some families that will mean meat in the freezers and the likelihood of venison jerky. It also means winter weather is fast approaching.

Brad and RaOne Stuart of Bountiful, UT, are spending some time at their Mink Creek home in Mink Creek. They are in a perfect setting for this year’s fall with nature abounding

The recent program of the Primary children brought a number of grandparents and other family members to enjoy the time. Eric and RexAnne Nielsen came up from Lewiston and Kelly and Teresa Rasmussen and their daughter Kjerstin of Preston , both sets of grandparents of the children of Trevor and April Rasmussen. Cindy Erickson of Bear Lake came to watch granddaughters, Maddie and Molly, of the Miles and Jasmine Erickson family. Other grandparents live within the local boundaries.

Karen and Layne Erickson and Colleen and Warren Wilde attended the Search and Rescue Sheriff’s Auxiliary’s Fall banquet at the Robinson Building in Preston. Layne and Warren have been members of this group for many years.

Candy Longhurst flew back to North Carolina to spend some time with her daughter McKinley and Skyler Stevens. The couple live in Raleigh and this was the perfect time of year for beautiful scenery in the eastern part of our country. She was able to take in a trip to a museum, and a highlight was a visit to the North Carolina Renaissance Festival where there were appropriate activities and displays to fit that time period.

Kristin Collins was able to spend a few days with their daughter Claire Collins om Caldwell, ID. Claire teaches in the elementary school and was happy to have her mother’s extra pair of hands during a testing time for the students.

Hearing of the beautiful fall weather we have been having in Idaho prompted Lori Muldner to phone, expressing some pangs of homesickness. Lori now lives in west Texas, but spent several years living in Mink Creek. The warmth now in Texas made her remember the beauty and coolness of an Idaho fall.

It will be a crisp night for the ghosts and goblins out tonight. Just be glad there isn’t snow to have to deal with, only the treats and eats and having fun. Happy Halloween.
