February 7, 2024

 Groundhog Day came and went with little chance of any shadows.  The day was overcast through the daylight hours.  No sightings reported on any creature even remotely related to the famed groundhog.

Some months ago Ramona Hatchett d into her new home in Riverdale on the Narrows Estate. Her home in the center of Mink Creek was purchased by Jamie and Carl Osborne. They have two children, Shyla and Carl Jr. The Osbornes also own a small house on their property, often referred to locally as “little house” and it has been occupied occasionally by Carl’s uncle or other relatives. The family is welcomed to the community.

Devin and Maria Flake and their son Jude were up from Orem, UT, to celebrate Maria’s birthday with her mother Lana and Ivan McCracken. Maria had some health issues some months ago and is doing well, one more reason for celebration.

Jesse and Annavelynn Wilcox and their son Desmond have recently returned from a winter vacation to Central America. Besides the warmth and the beauty there were all sorts of things for a little boy to investigate that were completely different from his backyard in Mink Creek: insects, animals, jungle growth, oceans, even shopping and new foods. All of this made for a wonderful time in Costa Rica and Honduras for these three.

To help battle the winter-time blues, or blahs, each Thursday evening, starting at 5 p.m. there will be the opportunity for residents to gather at the recreation hall of the LDS Meetinghouse for some activities. A carpeted area will be available for yoga, pilates, mobility and balance strengthening moves. Participants should feel free to bring a mat if they prefer. All are welcome and all levels of fitness are welcome. There is the social side of just attending. The gymnasium floor will be set up as a pickle ball court. Again, all are welcome. The earlier hour will be reserved for beginners and anyone wanting to learn the game. Competition is not the aim of this activity, fun and friendship is the goal.

With the warmer temperatures sleigh-riding and snowmobile activities are being canceled. There must still be sufficient snow in the canyons because there is plenty of weekend snowmobile traffic regularly.
