All the hype there is about the
beautiful fall in New England --- we have a more localized rival.
Mink Creek is so full of color this season. We have had several days
of rains but the moisture we have been receiving has just intensified
the beauty. A few days will pass and the inevitable change will take
place, those beautiful leaves will turn brown, dry, and fall, making
for a crunchy, and a bit noisy, passage underfoot for the coming
hunters who are trying to sneak up on our wildlife as the various
hunting seasons open.
A neighbor has been trying to beat the
racoons to the fruit in his orchard. Is there a hunting season on
racoons? Those clever creatures can invade any place they want,
short of using a padlock.
Karen and Layne Erickson attended the
LDS Wellsville 10th Ward in Wellsville, UT. The occasion
was the sustaining of their son,Bryan Erickson, as the new Bishop of
that ward. One of his counselors is a young man with Preston roots,
Jeff Andrus, who married Audrey Jo Madsen.
David Seasmons, son of Jeff and
Jennifer Seamons, has been playing on the Preston High School soccer
team this fall. As a sophomore, he plays on both the Jr. Varsity and
the Varsity teams.
Mariah Atkinson and her two girls,
spent a fun week with her parents, Brenda and Greg Belew in St.
Anthony, ID. The Belews love having grandparent time with these
little ladies.
Kent and Tammy Beardall enjoyed a trip
down to Spanish Fork and spending a relaxing weekend with the family
of Shawn and Callie Beardall. Shawn was on call with his
firefighting job, but that didn't interfere with the togetherness of
this bunch.
Bob and Claudia Erickson spent a few
days in Richfield, UT, at the home of Jody and Laural Janke. They
attended lots of soccer games with family playing on four different
teams. A visit to Cove Fort was a fun day, even though cold enough
to be wrapped in a blanket while touring.
Columbus Day, nearly a forgotten
holiday these days. Anyone remember when it was a holiday, and
also a time during elementary school that centered on the official
discovery of the continent and some facts about the explorer? There
were even some interesting tidbits about other explorers that were
out there seeking the New World, before and after Christopher. Now
the online information about him and most other explorers make them
sound like monsters. Times and expectations have altered in those
500 plus years since the days of when the world was flat and
civilization was quite different.
I wrote this early, then forgot to post it when the rest of the day took off. Just how life works!
