The community Valentine’s Day Dinner was a resounding success and well attended, all tables full. The tables decorated in red and white, held candy and favors, wooden crafts from the lathe in the shop of Clare and Linda Christensen. Clare claims the shop is his mental therapy. The menu for the evening was smoked pork tenderloin, baked potatoes and tossed green salad, both with all the trimmings, plus a dinner roll. The follow up was a pink frosted cinnamon roll. The cooks had some assistance from Amy Baldwin and the Relief Society. After the feast a relay game was entertaining. Teams were challenged in building a cup pyramid, wrapping old-fashioned curlers, and doing the “chicken dance” in a costume that was provided. Hilarious in the actions , lack of expertise and observation. The evening was conducted by Bret Rasmussen, Elders Quorum President.
Sharon Moran was back for a visit. She reported that her son Will and his wife live back east and are doing well. It has been years since she moved from Mink Creek, but her absence is still felt.
Cody McKay came up from his home in Queen Creek, AZ for some days with his parents, Paul and Terrie McKay. They were able to have some winter fun and a few snowmobile trips before he went back to the warm country.
The Syringa Camp of the DUP met this month at the home of Ramona Lower Hatchett in the Narrows Estates. Julie Westerberg gave a lesson and they had an enjoyable afternoon.
Candy Longhurst drove to Parma, ID, to witness the blessing and naming of her newest grandchild. The tiny girl is the daughter of Tiffany and Spencer Wheeler and was given the name Charlotte Elaine Wheeler. She is adored by a big brother, Hudson.
The Young Women’s group gathered to create some offerings for a night of “heat attacks” . After getting their messages whipped up they had fun delivering them ding-dong-ditch style around the community, being as sneaky as girls can be.
The Snow Moon has been beautiful on clear nights. This moon was also called the Hunger Moon by some Native tribes, because they had used up their supplies set aside in the fall for the winter and food was dwindling, wild animals still in hibernation, or hard to find. Landscape hard to move about.
