This is certainly the season of family reunions. It is in high gear in our community. The family of Allen and Pearl Christensen
filled our Mink Creek Ballpark recently.
Seven of their children, plus a nephew were able to be there: Don and Jeanette Christensen of Whitney, DeeVirile and Elizabeth Christensen of
Dayton, Wayne and Verneal Lowry of Tooele, Clarice Cox and her husband Jim of
Farmington, UT, Dorothy and Larry Sheard of Littleton, CO, and Dan and Sandy
Aldrich of West Jordan, UT. All these,
in addition to extended families that enlarged the genealogical pedigree
charts.
Johnny and Jeannine Iverson have
nine children, those nine have children.
All were here at Iverson’s except for one daughter, Christine, from California, and she had
been visiting only a week or so prior to the reunion. Cherie and Ted Shillig came all the way from
Virginia, Steven and Jessie Iverson from
Texas, Teresa and Virg Russom of Colorado, Rebecca and Dane Jones from
Washington state, three from Utah: Gregory and Vickie Iverson and David and
Shari Iverson both of Highland, and Michael and Susan Iverson of Brigham City,
last, but not least, Kurt and Margret Iverson of Mink Creek.
Hannah and Spencer Singleton and
their two children have been spending a summer vacation with her parents, Wynn
and Cecelie Costley. Spencer had to
return a bit early to their home in El
Dorado, AR. Several of Hannah’s siblings who live within
close driving range traveled to join in the family fun at the Costley home.
The parking lot of the LDS Ward
building will be getting a facelift, or perhaps it would be more accurate to
say a complete makeover. All those well
known cracks and tarred repairs will be a thing of the past with this
resurfacing. A well done parking area is
a wondrous thing. The project was scheduled for this past week, then some
major timing changes took place and the process will take approximately six
weeks to complete. Anyone using the
premises needs to keep their eyes open for appropriate spots for parking while
this is underway.
Every so often Jim and Debbie
Harrison return home for a few days, getting away from the heat and jobs in St.
George. Another off-and-on residence
that is very busy during summer months is the Crane Cabin. A variety of cars fill the parking places
bordering that home.
There are
many people enjoying a river run down the Bear River Narrows
and beyond. Between fishermen and river
riders, the parking area, near the mouth of Mink Creek where it empties into the
Bear, is a popular spot.
Life on the
farm has been full of bumps and bruises lately. We
have had two herds of cows visiting our place, uninvited. One batch invaded the orchard, later a
different bunch were enjoying our growing hay crop. The bees in this area have been buzzing, they
have also been sucking the sweet juices from raspberry and strawberry patches,
reducing the yield for the grower considerably.
A neighbor reports frequent sightings of rattlesnakes as they go to
irrigate. It appears the serpents are in
greater need of water than usual.
“Summertime, and the living is easy,” somewhere.
