Elder Tyson Hall is home after serving
in the Chile, Antofagasta Mission. He is the son of Kristi and Brett
Hall. He spoke in the LDS Ward recently and added some chuckles as
he worked at speaking in English rather than the Spanish to which he
has become accustomed. His grandparents, Dallas and DeOne Hall of
Wellsville, UT, and Vernon Keller of Mink Creek were in attendance,
along with many relatives from the Keller, Hall and Torfin families.
Brenda
Belew has left our village, headed up to her husband Greg in St.
Anthony, ID, and a new job with Fremont County Extension office and
more 4H activities. She goes with plenty of experience and
training. Their daughter Mikayla will be staying here with her
sister to finish out her senior year at Preston High School.
Ben Seamons, son of Jennifer and Jeff
Seamons, participated in All State Orchestra at the Idaho State
University Concert Hall. Ben plays the violin. He is also a
wrestler at Preston High and not long before had been in a wrestling
tournament in Idaho Falls. Two Seamons sons, Ben and Sam, qualified
at the district tournament to represent Preston High School at the
Idaho State Wrestling Tournament. Excitement reigns in this
household!
Bob and Claudia Erickson flew to
Tempe, AZ , for a weekend with the family of their son Drew and
Hilary Erickson. This was a dual occasion: son Spencer was being
ordained to the office of deacon in their LDS Ward and son Conner
was receiving his Eagle Scout award. It was nice to soak up the
Arizona sunshine.
Canadian geese are returning, Their
plaintive honking echoes off the mountains as they spot a good place
for a temporary stay. Robins have been seen in bunches, busy
clearing out anything that resembles bird feed, on the ground, in
empty feeders. They are hungry visitors.
March came in like a lamb, a nice calm
lamb. The early morning looked like a storm might materialize, but
a happy sun appeared and chased the gloom away. Mud season is upon
us with patches of dirty snow all over the place, the one time of
year when Mink Creek isn't picture postcard beautiful. Dirt roads
are not dried out and with the melting they are apt to stay messy for
quite some time, regardless of warmer temperatures.
Paul Deats, a Californian who loved
Mink Creek and lived here for a number of years, has passed away this
month. The obit may be in this week's edition of the Citizen. If
not, I will include more information in my next Mink Creek News
column and blog.
Celebrate the arrival of March. The
winter has been good, welcomed, but we are looking forward to spring.
