After much time spent repairing and
doing the annual upkeep on equipment Haying season has started for our farming
population. The swathers are mowing from
daylight to dark, parallel rows marching across the fields. Given drying time, a turnover from the hay
rakes and the baling machines will be put into action. I love the smell of newly mown hay.
Darlene Travis and her three children
have been here visiting her mother Dixie Bybee.
Darlene and her husband Jason moved from Preston to Meridian, ID,
some months ago.
Izac Greene, son of Chad
and Dawnell Greene was presented with a Certificate of Achievement and his Faith in God award in the LDS
Ward. Izac has graduated from Primary
and was ordained to the office of a deacon.
The Carl and Lenna Christensen
family held their annual reunion at the Mink Creek Ballpark. All the siblings were able to be there except
LaMoine. Three of them live here in Mink
Creek, Lyle Christensen, Forrest and Patti Christensen, and Danita C. and Eldon
Wilcox. The out-of-towners were Vachele
and Jay Higbee of Provo, UT,, Brad and Raeone Stuart of Bountiful, UT, and
Vance and Connie Christensen of Vernal, UT.
Vance and Connie have moved back to the mainland after living in Hawaii for a few
years. Besides the siblings there are
now quite a few third generation descendents that attend these reunions and
join in the family fun. It was planned
for a three-day event but the weather turning chilly cut it short a bit.
Larry and Mary Jean Rasmussen have
had family guests lately. Three of
Larry’s brothers have dome down from Washington
state. Lynden Rasmussen lives in Spokane. Brent and Carol Rasmussen are located in Deer Park, along with
Kaylan Rasmussen, who brought his son, Dan.
Larry and Mary Jean’s son, JR Rasmussen brought his little boy, William,
up from Riverdale, UT.
Our Naomi Wilde has celebrated her
97th birthday, June 6th.
It is always fun to have her home for the summer months, she does liven
things up considerably. Always has,
always will.
Preston Call has been up from North Ogden, visiting friends in the area. He is a financial planner and currently
setting up an office of his own in Utah. He felt very good to just be “back home” for
a few hours.
The LDS Ward held their first
summer night at the ballpark this past week.
It is a weekly get-together for several weeks during the summer and
includes various sports:
baseball/softball, horseshoes, volleyball. The littlest participants in the night enjoy
the playground equipment. Refreshments are available and vary during the schedule of evenings. We have a good time and it provides some
relaxation after the work day of summer.
