The deer seem to have multiplied
with the coming of warmer weather. On
one hillside field it looked like the owner had planted deer seed, so many were
nibbling away where the snow had
vacated. Across the Bear River at the Gilbert
place turkeys in large numbers were enjoying the growth exposed.
Jeff and Camille Knudson had family
company. Their son Tony and his wife
Camille (yes, that is two Camille Knudsons) were up from Stansbury Park, UT,
for a change of scenery.
Both Mink Creek Ward basketball
teams, girls and boys, had a fun season, under the coaching of Kerry
Christensen. Both teams played for
Preston North Stake championship. Both
found themselves playing opposing teams from the same ward, Winder. Our girls came out the winners, champions of
2013 season. The boys lost to Winder ,
getting second place.
Chance and Dakota Hatch, twin sons
of Katie and Sam Hatch, were ordained to the office of teachers in the LDS
Ward. They also received copies of
contracts made with their stake president.
Identical in appearance, Chance is the oldest by just a few minutes.
The Relief Society celebrated their
March birthday with a light dinner and a program. The multipurpose room was redolent with
beautiful white roses in crystal vases on each table. A scattering of pastel Jordan almonds
added a hint of spring. Kathy Jarvis and Jennifer Seamons, a mother/daughter team, were responsible for
the decorations. Dixie Rasmussen,
Beverly Bruderer and Cathy Seamons prepared croissants filled with a yummy
chicken almond mix, mini cheese kabobs, pickles and carrot cake cupcakes topped
with cream cheese icing. Tammy Coleman
presented a video based on a book authored by Jennifer Phelps, encouraging all
to see beauty within as well as without.
As the story unfolded there were vocal songs to add to the message. These were provided by McKenna and Melinda
Jepsen, Liesa Baird, Sharla McKay and Candy Longhurst.
It is
baseball and softball time at Preston High. The season is just getting
underway. Muddy , torn up practice
fields are a challenge. On the softball
team one young lady that is fun to watch is Mink Creek’s own Tawni Hall. It isn’t hard to tell that she comes from a
family with two hard-hitting brothers in this sport. Her biggest fans are her parents, Kristi and
Brett Hall.
We have had
some days that taste of spring, but we are still getting days of gloom and
storm. Mink Creek community is not at
its usual beautiful state. Mud season
has to come before the greening and with it is the dirty, crusted snow that is
slowly receding, the bleak hills and fields with only shades of dry growth and
earth. However, this has happened before
and all know that it won’t be long before happy changes will take place. If things warm up too fast the water in the
heights will fade too quickly and that is never good.
