Kent and ReNae Egley traveled back to
Huntington, IN, attending the wedding festivities of their grandson,
Bryce Nielsen. Bryce has recently graduated from army training at
Ft. Huachuca, AZ, and is now moving to a new chapter in his life and
new bride, Emily Brown. He is the son of Jeff and Tara Nielsen.
Bryce will be deployed for a hitch in Afghanistan, later making a
home in Colorado Springs, CO. Kent and ReNae hosted a wedding open
house in Mink Creek for the new couple on their return from the
Midwest.
Kathy Jones has recently had surgery
on a foot. With her husband Austin's broken leg they are a matched
pair as they each work to move about on their individual scooters.
Their positive attitude balances out the problems they encounter.
We have had some visits from branches
of our Haws family. Kasey and Julie Haws took a bit of retreat in
their Mink Creek home as they prepare to begin a calling to serve as
mission president couple for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints. Loren(Haws) and Ken Nash came up from Solvang, CA, with some
of their family to enjoy the last days of fall, Idaho style.
Our community has
grieved with two funerals this past week. Three funerals in one month has served to shake us at our roots. Marlene Christensen, widow
of Orvid Christensen, passed away after many months of suffering with
cancer. Her family members and friends gathered here to bid farewell.
Teresina Crosland, daughter of Robert and Phee Crosland, passed away
unexpectedly while living in Arizona. She is now at rest, back home
with loved ones.
Thanksgiving
holidays took some of our residents great distances, others not far,
but most stayed near the coziness of home. The families of Glen and
Betty Jo Jepsen and Kerry and Melinda Jepsen were able to spend a
week together in the balmy paradise of Hawaii. Ramona and Jerry
Hatchett went down to West Jordan, UT, to a gathering hosted by
Ramona's daughter, enjoying the company without the pressure of
preparation.
The small amount
of snow that has managed to stay for the last week or so vanished in
a warm rain that arrived the night of Dec 7th. It felt
rather strange to wake up the following morning and have our lawns
all green again.
The local Deseret
Industries store in Preston had a drive for Christmas items early in the month
and from the display on the shelves the whole county answered the
call generously.There is a great selection.
