October 7, 2015

            Our night sky put on quite an elaborate light show last night. Lightning flashed from several directions, and within seconds of each other. Of course there were the booms of thunder to accompany all the action. After all, what is a theatrical production without some good mood-moving music? This was not a lullaby. The rain and the wind thrashed about a bit, but the lightning definitely played the lead part.
            Kristi Hall has entered into a business partnership with Tara Johnson, one that suits them both to a T. It is called Weddings and Wingdings, offering all wedding décor and catering. It isn't just for the marriage market because they will take on parties in general. The two don't have an official location because they run it out of their homes. They can be found on Facebook. Kristi's other half is Brett Hall, Tara's is Blake Johnson. They have been pretty busy this fall.
             The Mink Creek LDS Ward has a new Relief Society presidency. The President is Patti Christensen, her 1st Counselor Linda Christensen, 2nd counselor Anna Beth Olson and Secretary is ReNae Egley. The released president, Danita Wilcox, underwent hip surgery this past week.
            In an LDS meeting Sister Macy Jepsen shared some of her experiences in the Cambodia Phnom Penh mission. Macy is the daughter of Kerry and Melinda Jepsen. Her aunt Janna Musgrave and her children came up from Ogden for this occasion, as did her uncle, Kyle Jepsen from Dallas, TX. Another aunt, Sandy Checketts and family, drove over from Nampa, ID. Great uncle Lenard Nelson, now living in Idaho Falls, was there. The congregation was filled with friends from school and past employment.
            It is volleyball season in the Preston North Stake. Mink Creek has teams of youths participating, as well as some singles going for the fun and exercise of it with the co-ed adult games.

            Hunting season has been underway for those with archery skills and there has been reports of success. Nice sets of antlers, smiling hunters in camo. Won't be long before the rifle variety of season opens. In Mink Creek the sounds of gunfire echo off our mountainsides, up and down. A near miss makes for staccato booms.
          Fall plowing and planting is on our farmer's agenda. Those recent rains have been a boon to the new seeds in the ground.
