The medical profession has been busy with several residents
of our community. We have recently had
four Mink Creekers undergoing surgery of one description or another, there is a
case of pneumonia, from all reports. Not
even mentioning all the sneezing and coughing that has been going on, either
from spring colds or rampant allergies.
There may be more, this is just those of which this columnist is aware.
One of our young men, Cody McKay,
is getting a record for speeding. No concern for the local law, this young man
is swift on foot. He has broken the Preston High school record in the 100
meter. Not long ago he took first place
in the 100 m and 2nd place in the 200 m at the Tiger Griz Track
tournament in Idaho Falls. He is the son of Paul and Terrie McKay.
Michael and Karenina Bullock of Sandy brought their
newest daughter to Mink Creek to receive a blessing and be named. Born April 2nd, she was christened
Abagail Elizabeth Bullock. She has
siblings to welcome her, Kasen and AnnDee.
Grandparents are Austin and Kathy Jones of Mink Creek and Joy Jones of Washington, UT. Other out-of-town family members present for
the occasion were Joseph and Becca Jones of Harriman,
UT, Kayleen and Spencer Johnson of Provo, Great-grandmother Bonnie Baldwin of Preston, and the Bullock family of Grace.
While not exactly qualifying as
Mink Creek news Franklin
County residents will be
interested in the birth of Ches and Sariah Sharp’s newest son, to be named
Collin James Sharp. The Sharps lived in Preston,
Ches teaching band at the high school a few years ago. They now are living in Gilbert, AZ. This baby arrived 19 days earlier than
planned, on May 1st, weighing in at 8 lb., 2 oz., and all are doing
well.
Our teenagers enjoyed the recent
spring Prom. They were arrayed in finery
of flowing gowns, tuxedos and fine suits.
From all reports the dates of the day and the beauty of the night were
worth the hours, days, weeks of anticipation that goes with such and event.
The Mink Creek area is filled with
blossoms. Wild and domestic trees, the
whole length of our village, are bursting with blooms, pink, white, fuchsia---apple,
pear, plum, peach, crab apple, apricot.
I recall when I first heard of this place; long before I had any idea I
would en up living here. From my home in
Wyoming a friend of my parents was recounting
his childhood memory of driving from Star Valley,
WY, on their way to somewhere in Utah. He told of this
little place in Idaho,
Mink Creek, as being full of flowering trees.
It had left a lasting impression, as well it might. It does so today. We live in a beautiful place all year round. Well, except for mud season.
