There has been some Christensen Family
Reunions around here. That surname covers a large group connected
with this community, sufficient to have smaller batches getting
together. I know of one taking place in Preston, another out our
way.
Eldon and Danita Wilcox were able to
gather all of their children and families together for some summer
fun. Three of them live in Utah: Elise and Jeff Hardy in North
Ogden, Brittany and Matt Durrant in Salt Lake City, Ami and Tom
Fenton in Tooele. Lesli and David Evans live in Savannah, TX. The
rest are in Idaho: MaKenzie and Tyson Gunter in Pocatello, Brigham
and Jennifer Wilcox in Idaho Falls, Jesse and Annavelyn Wilcox here
in Mink Creek.
Jesse Wilcox was sustained in the LDS
Ward as the ward clerk this past week. He replaces Nelson Coleman
who is moving to Thatcher.
Wynn and Cecelie Costley have had
several weeks of grandparent fun. Hannah and Spencer Singleton
brought their children for a lengthy summer stay. Their home is in
Arkansas. Hannah's siblings thay live a bit closer to Mink Creek
brought their families up and there was some great cousin hours
enjoyed
The Young Women held their summer camp
near Rexburg, ID. Thirteen girls participated with five leaders:
Laurel Wilde, Candy Longhurst, Tiffany Longhurst, Terrie McKay and
Melinda Jepsen.
Activities included a long hike, a rope
course, a trip to the Rexburg LDS Temple, and water fun at Camp
Takedown.
Melissa Colvin and her children have
been staying for a few weeks with her folks, Joann and Drew Ford.
The Colvin family is in the middle of a move from their home in
Nebraska with a job change that will take them to Iowa. This makes
for an even greater distance when it comes to family visits.
Summer apples are falling from the
tree branches. If the tree happens to be domesticated, and the
apples are sliced with the lawn mower, bees and wasps gather for a
sweet feast. It behooves a person to keep that in mind when
traipsing through the grass. A sweet sting still hurts!
The Famous Preston Night Rodeo weekend
brought home lots of people and their friends. More details will
follow in next week's blog.
Franklin County Fair commences next
week. Day One is Aug 10th and children and parents are
finishing up those last bits and pieces of projects to enter. 4H
leaders have their hands full, especially if they are both leader and
parent. It is scramble time!
