May 8, 2024

 

Bob and Claudia Erickson and LaMar and Claudine McKague drove up to Newdale, ID, to take part in the celebration of the marriage of Abigail Janke to Austin Leas. These two met while attending classes at BYU/ Idaho in Rexburg. It was an outdoor party, blessed with lovely weather and plenty of space for the games, visiting, and dancing that had been planned. Abi grew up in Mink Creek and is part of the nursing program at BYU/Idaho. The family of Jody and Laural Janke now live in Teton, ID.

Courtney Carr was here for a few days with her grandmother, Mary Jean Rasmussen and her uncle, Kim Rasmussen. Courtney is finishing her first year in the graduate program at Utah State University.

Andy Olson, son of Jeff Olson, spent a few days with his father and Barbara Olson at their home near Station Creek. Andy has now retired from his career in the military where he has been headquartered in Ft. Collins, CO. He and his family are currently living in South Carolina.

Congratulations to Brooke Corbett Reichman on her graduation from Utah Valley University in the College of Health and Public Service. Now a Registered Nurse with the desired degrees she is looking forward to a new chapter in her life, as her husband Josh readies for more medical school. She was home to spend some time with her Dad, Shane Corbett and brother Austin.

It is always fun to see the high school prom attire and the floral arrangements that come out the morning after the Prom. Guys look just as great as the girls.

Jonia Jackson is the new water master for the Mink Creek area. She is assuming the position after the retirement of Reed Swann last fall. Jonia has recently had her sisters Julie and Jennie arrive for some fun family time.

The return of semi-winter days and temperatures is a bit discouraging, but we know it will not last. The blooming tulips look beautiful in a light blanket of snow. The winds have been pretty rough on any fruit tree that is in the blossoming phase, but it is part of Idaho spring. In the seed catalogs we are not listed in the balmy regions for a reason.
