The Eldon Wilcox home had a bustling Labor Day weekend. Wilcox daughter, Elise and her husband Jeff Hardy, plus family, plus some families of their friends enjoyed the freedoms of “life in the country” for these few days. The friendship group lives in the North Ogden area of Utah.
Callie and Shawn Beardall and their children of Spanish Fork, UT, got in a last few days before the changing of schedules with a visit to Kent and Tammy Beardall on the Mink Creek side of the canyon and Dallene Rigby, Callie's mother on the Montpelier side.
Wynn and Cecelie Costley are home after a short trip to Europe. Some years ago the Costley family hosted a Preston High exchange student from Germany, named Phillip. This visit was a re-connection of sorts and an opportunity to see this now adult 'son' with his wife, family and the surroundings he has chosen for his life. It was a wonderful visit.
ReNea Haddock and Raphael Arnsworth have sold their home in Mink Creek, plus Arnsworth's business in Utah. This is a “lock, stock and barrel” type of change and the yardsale took place a few weeks ago. They are moving on to a new chapter in their lives, planned with adventures in new places. They will be missed by the community.
The recent rains brought some life to the wild sunflowers. Those drooping heads of gold took on a new burst of life when the moisture fell. It is chokecherry season in Mink Creek, both wild and domestic. That just makes me think of chokecherry syrup on a short stack of hotcakes, worth the work of harvesting the berries.
I hope you are feeling the hint of Fall that is waiting in the weather wings. It has been so many days of oven-type temperatures, day in and day out, that every little bit of lower temperature feels like a magnificent reprieve.
