The first crop of hay harvest is
underway. Swathing, raking, baling, in that order, is the agenda for
days for residents who farm. The smell of newly mowed hay fills the
air, and the stripes , parallel across the patches, by length or
breadth, or diagonal, leave an artistic design in each field.
The Relief Society held a Summer Girls
Night Out at the Mink Creek Ballpark. Girls of all ages from 0 to
100 were invited. The theme of the evening was “You Are My
Sunshine,” and Jyllian Christensen played a violin rendition of
that long favored tune. Claire Jepsen sang a solo, “There are a
Few of My Favorite Things.” The pavilion and stage were decorated
in the colors of green and yellow. Some of the balloons were yellow
smiley faces.
Tammy Coleman was in charge of the
event and got everyone involved in games. Me Too game ended up
making a yarn web as participants exclaimed, “me too,” and tossed
the yarn. More fun came with the Mother/Daughter version of the TV
show Newlywed Game. Everyone had been instructed to be prepared to share
something about themselves that others may be unaware. These were a
few of our favorite things. Lacey Christensen assisted with the
decorations and planning. Candy Longhurst and daughters served
Sprite floats, with a choice of ice creams, and cookies.
Connie Erickson, daughter of Layne and
Karen Erickson, became the bride of Adam Westenskow, recently. All
of her siblings and their families were here as well as aunts and
uncles. It was a treat for the entire family to have Great Aunt
Sarah Westerberg in attendance. She came up with her daughter Judy
and Ervin Larsen of Cedar City.
Jon and Portia Jepsen and family were
in residence at their Mink Creek home for a few days. This Jepsen
family lives in the Salt Lake area.
The wail of sirens announced a head-on
collision that happened at about milepost 8 on Highway 36 in the
middle of our village. In addition to the law enforcement vehicles
two ambulances and a fire truck were on the scene. Traffic was
rerouted over the loop on Birch Creek Road and Capitol Hill Road
while occupants were taken care of and the cleanup took place. More
information was reported in the regular edition of the Preston
Citizen.
Along with the rest of this section of
the Rocky Mountains, we have had a couple of days of cold and rain.
It has left some snow on our mountaintops and caused some soggy
situations in the lower levels. There has been a scare for frozen
gardens, but I have not heard any reports along those lines.
