May 16, 2017

          Emily Longhurst competed in the Idaho State Tumbling Championship event in Burley recently. Prior to this it is a requirement that the competitors have pasrticipated in 3 other meets across the state. Emily came home with a 1st place in the Double-mini and 3rd place in her floor routine. She is the daughter of Sheldon and Candy Longhurst.
            In the Mink Creek LDS Ward Ty Jepsen, son of Kerry and Melinda Jepsen, has turned 14 and was ordained to the office of a teacher in the Aaronic Priesthood this last week. His sister, Tara, also had a birthday and is now part of the Laurel class in the Young Women organization.
           Wendy and Terry Westerberg are announcing the engagement of their son, Matthew, to Haylee Harrison, daughter of Lance and Andrea Harrison of Preston. The wedding will take place in June.
            The annual Mink Creek School Reunion will be held on June 17th at noon in the Mink Creek Ward recreation hall. Those who have attended school in the days of Mink Creek's school system are invited for fun, food and prizes. The food is potluck and never fails to please those dining. This year it is Mike and MaryAnn Jepsen who are making the arrangements.
           The weather if finally settling sufficiently to make a person think the dreams that come with the spring seed catalogs might come true. The fruit trees are blooming, cherry, pear, apple to name a few. Even the berry bushes look promising. The scent of the blooms is fine for the human population, but the bees are really attracted, filling the air with the sound of their buzzing on a warm day.
            Brad and RaOne Stuart came up from Utah to check on their home and various Mink Creek holdings. RaOne is the daughter of the late Carl and Lenna Christensen. Two siblings, Forrest Christensen and Danita Wilcox, still live in Mink Creek.


             Snow is expected this week and all my apple trees are in blossom. Mothers' Day was beautiful and all women attending the LDS Ward went home with a lovely geranium to plant. Very likely most will wait for that activity until the current rash of storms move eastward. What a weather year this has been so far!  It keeps us on constant alert, no relaxing or feeling that things are going to be what we consider "normal."  Do not bring up the topic of global warming.
