No matter who won that football game, Reba’s rendition of the national anthem was a highlight! There were multiple gatherings around the community to share the SuperBowl, not to mention the snacks and sociability that go along with it.
RaeOne Stuart brought some family up from Utah to enjoy the hospitality of the Stuart/Christensen home and the beauties of winter in Mink Creek.
We have two sets of grandparents announcing mission calls for a grandchild. Clare and Linda Christensen are pleased that Sister Brittianna Wolfley, will be serving in the Ohio, Cincinatti Mission. She is the daughter of Janna Wolfley Small and the late William Wolfley. Jimmie and Anna Beth Olson’s grandson, Jaxon Peterson, son of Charles and Dana Peterson of Meridian, ID, will be going to England, Leeds Mission in July. This just happens to be the same mission where the Olsons served a few years ago.
The combined Young Women and Young Men organizations had an evening of fun competition and learning at the raquetball court at the home of Wynn and Cecelie Costley. The youth were playing walliball, a first time for many of them, or they were enjoying the activity from the observation post above the court. Adult leaders had as much fun as the kids.
Dr. Kerry and Melinda Jepsen are home from a trip to warmer climates, even warmer than the thawing temperature we have had.
Mink Creek has some bald eagles that are loving the winter skies. They keep a close watch on the earthly activities. One activity they cater to is that of feeding time at a resident’s feedlot for his cattle. The eagles wait their turn, along with a host of smaller birds that cling to an electric wire high on the posts. They also are helpful in cleaning up the deer carcasses after collisions during the nights.
A couple of good moisture laden snow storms have moved in the last week. It is warm enough to snow during the daylight hours, but when the frigid night temperatures descend the roads can became mighty slippery. Black ice and a fog combination are a bad deal.
