Fall colors are filling the canyons
of Mink Creek and Cub
River. The mountainsides are a blend of orange, red
and green, with an occasional splash of yellow.
In both locations red is the predominant color where the maple trees are
in abundance. I understand from a friend
that the Oneida Narrows is worth a tour.
A Boy Scout Court of Honor was
convened at the home of leaders Jeannine and Johnny Iverson recently, a time
for rank advancement and merit badges.
Three boys made Tenderfoot:
Carson Christensen, Jacobi Johnson and David Hawkes. Braxton Nye advanced to First Class, Travis Greene, Ty Beardall and Ben Seamons
were awarded Star rank and Andy McKay earned his Life rank. Ten merit badges were earned throughout the
troop. With families having been
invited, seventy people attended. All
enjoyed sloppy joes, gelled salads, veggie salads and a special Dutch-oven
carrot cake that had been prepared by Kurt Iverson. It would be true to say that “a good time was
had by all,” the younger set enjoying recreational activities that Johnny and
Jeannine have around their home for Iverson grandkids.
People from this end of Preston
North Stake attended the televised Brigham
City Temple
dedication at the LDS Ward Meetinghouse in Mink Creek. There were three sessions throughout Sunday,
Sept. 22nd.
Will Moran is now living in Brighton, UT. He is employed by the ski resort. While
biding his time for the snow season, Will is tutoring students in English, his
college major.
As of this writing the progress of
Andy McKay, son of Paul and Terrie, is very encouraging. On
Sept 15th Andy had a motorbike accident, as mentioned last
week. He was recently moved from the
intensive care unit of Primary Children’s Hospital and physical therapy is
already more than once a day. Even
though they know his total recovery will take some time his parents report that
his responses thus far are surprising the doctors.
People, local and otherwise, are feeling the nip in the wind. I see truckloads of winter fuel (in the form
of logs) headed down to the flatter lands on a regular basis. Harvest season is bringing in the crops from
the field but it is also preparing for that time when there are no crops.
Just have
to give a little information about the lives of Elder Jimmie and Sister
AnnaBeth Olson who are serving a mission in England. It is interesting to note that these two are
also teaching English. One wouldn’t consider that particularly because of their
location. If you are among the Brits
everyone speaks the language. Not so, it
seems that many of the friends that they have made there are Asian and benefit
from the instruction that the Olsons can give.
I like that idea.
