Our fine feathered friends are out and about. Turkeys stand out stark and black against our recent snowy background. With moonlit nights the owls are chatting across the hillsides.
Two couples, Wally and Kim Christensen and Richard and Vickie Free, took a break from our local cold weather to bask in the warmth of Hawaii, staying at the Free’s time share. This was a time for being laid back in Maui, snorkeling, watching the whales, feasting at luaus. All this made for a reluctance to head back to home and reality.
Jeannine Iverson, scout lady extraordinaire, was awarded the Silver Beaver. In mid- February the Trapper Trails Council Recognition Night was held in Brigham City. Awards were given to volunteers of scouting who have served at least 30 years. Jeannine has been active in teaching skills of scouting to young men and serving on the advancement program, long before the Iversons moved to Mink Creek from Highland, UT. She endeavors to make things fun and interesting for each boy in the troop.
The young people of Mink Creek enjoyed a tubing party. Due to the scarcity of snow the location was in the upper part of our community on a hill behind the home of Mark and Debbie Heaton. Snowmobiles were on the scene to haul the participants back up the slope after a swift ride down. A bonfire at the bottom helped warm the kids and refreshments of hot chocolate and doughnuts kept the energy level up for lots of fun.
Kathy and Austin Jones needed a short get-away vacation and chose a four night Cozumel Cruise in Mexican waters. They reported that the shopping was fine, especially for vanilla and blankets. The beautiful blue waters were a little choppy due to the wind, but it was just the ticket for the Jones duo.
Some storms have come our way with snow, real snow. Those flakes that stay around are so welcome. If this is winter it is late in coming, but most welcome. Some of the flurries would qualify as whiteouts. So what if it is March! This being “in like a lion,” may be a good thing.
Our teenage girls have had a successful year playing basketball this year. They are coached by Laurel Wilde. The team made their way through the Preston North Stake Tournament and has qualified to play in the Regional tournament soon.
Kelton and Denise Keller and their family spent a weekend here with his parents, Vernon and Sallee Keller. They were celebrating a mission call for their daughter, Jennie, who will be serving in Brazil. She leaves in June for the Brazil MTC.
