In spite of the recent return of winter
weather and temperatures there are all sorts of indication that a change is in the air. The sandhill cranes
have returned, making themselves known with their peculiar cry.
Robins hover in the snow, fluffing out their feathers to shake off
the cold. Canadian geese are seen in their V formation as well as on
our ponds and waterways, calling out to get attention. Our owls, not
to be outdone, are having extended conversations in the dark of
night.
Brooke Corbett, daughter of Sherrie
and Shane Corbett, has received her long awaited mission call. She
will be serving in the Argentina, Resistiencia, Mission, heading to
the Mission Training Center on May 11th.
Jeff Knudson has married recently.
His new bride is Leigh Fuller, whose home is in Twin Falls, ID. For the
time being they are sharing time between their two homes, according
to the demands of their schedules. Leigh is a concert pianist. She
has also worked in the Church Offices in Salt Lake City for about
twenty years. We are glad to have her become a part of our
community.
Mary Jean Baird Lindhardt, wife of
Sherman Lindhardt of Smithfield, UT, passed away recently after
suffering with lung cancer. She was born and raised in Mink Creek,
daughter of James and Bessie Baird. Sherm and Mary Jean lived here
for a few years in their early married life.
Members of our community gathered for
a Snowmobile Ride early this month, just in time before the white
stuff had receded too much. Organizer Andy McKay asked his dad,
Paul, and uncle, Lin McKay, to lead the group. The ride started in
Copenhagen Basin and headed to the Big Rock and Midnight Mountain.
The weather cooperated and it was a fun way to signal the wrap up of
winter.
The Young Men and Young Women's
basketball season has closed for the Preston North Stake. Now those
same youths will be involved in the track and field events at their
schools, or in the softball and baseball programs.
Even though winter storms keep
returning our farmers are getting ready to be back doing field work.
Repairs are underway on equipment and every sunny morning is greeted
with a smile. Working the land gets so much of the
persona of those who love it.
