Brandi and Jake Allred and family have been down from Idaho Falls to spend some time with her parents, Jody and Bret Rasmussen. It is a good time to visit because there are lots of chores/work and fun to be had at this time of year. It is a harvest in many different areas.
Eldon and Danita Wilcox, who are now serving a mission in Bluff Fort, UT, were pleased to have a visit from Cliff and Teresa Keller, Preston friends. The Kellers are a part of the Mink Creek Ward this past year, serving as stake counselors.
It is time for a birth announcement. Corey and Savannah Nielson greeted their newest child, Ida, on September 6, a few days earlier than expected. She weighed in at 8 lb. 14 oz., and is welcomed by sister Astrid and brother Bjorn.
With the arrival of Fall season Mink Creek community tends to get less visitors than during the summer months. Matt Westerberg was here for a few days with his parents, Terry and Wendy Westerberg. Dean and Michelle Wilde of Pocatello have visited off and on during the last three month. Alex Huxford, nephew of Richard Free, came down to see what challenges his uncle might have brewed up. Adam Haws brought some family from California for a last taste of Mink Creek water before their lives took off in studious efforts with school underway.
Paul and Bobbi Debonis are the new owners of the home formerly occupied by ReNea Haddock and Raphael Arnsworth. They come to us from Colorado and it will take some time for them to make the total transition. They discovered the village of Mink Creek and its surroundings while looking for real estate and felt the pull to settle here. Welcome to beautiful Idaho.
And suddenly it feels fall. Leaves changing, most more muted than in a year with more moisture. Trails of smoke rising from piles of weeds, etc that accumulate as garden spaces are cleared of producing plants. Zucchini appearing on doorsteps. Everyone checking out the dates of the big potato harvests around Grace to lay in a winter's supply. This is Idaho and we must have our potatoes
