A wedding reception for Nicole
Beardall, daughter of Kent and Tammy Beardall, and Nathan Denney, a
young man from Rexburg, ID, kept the LDS Recreation Hall busy that
last weekend of December. Nate's parents are Brenda and Kerry Denney
of Rexburg. All the Beardall siblings were able to be in attendance.
Kyle Beardall and Laura and Cameron Reeves and family live in Logan.
Shawn and Callie Beardall and their four came up from Spanish Fork,
UT. Michelle Wall and her children drove from Grand Junction, CO, to
spend several days with family. Mikel and Rebecca Beardall are at
home in Preston,Ty Beardall in Richmond, UT, and Heather Beardall in
Mink Creek.
A part-time Mink Creek resident, Dr.
Lynn Lawrence Wilcox of Salt Lake City, passed away on Dec. 23rd.
He and his wife Shirley have had a home here for many years. This
was a place to get-away. Born in Ogden in1946, his medical studies
led him to the field of gastroenterology. He died at their home in
the Holladay area and was buried in the Holladay Cemetery. Two of
Lynn's siblings, Doug and Con, are also part-time Mink Creek
residents.
Wynn and Cecelie Costley's home was
bursting at the seams during the holidays. Everyone was home except
for their daughter Hannah Singleton. Everyone includes the
grandchildren that go with each set of parents. Noel and Jeff Hadley
and Kate and Erick Drake live in Plain City, UT. McKay and Lynsey
Costley are in Lewiston, UT. Josie and Dave Hulme and Landon and Amy
Costley, both are in the Ogden area. Leah and Davin Gilbert's bunch
live in Fairview, ID.
Some of the children of Danita and
Eldon Wilcox gathered in Mink Creek during the holidays. Jesse and Annavelyn Wilcox live in his
parents home. Brigham and Jenipher Wilcox and their children came
down from Idaho Falls. McKenzie and Tyson Gunter and their new
one-month-old son, Dryden Ty Gunter, joined them. The senior Wilcox
couple ar serving a mission in the Philippines and are due home in a
few months.
Snow, turned to rain, turned to snow,
turned to rain again – has left us with patchy looking scenes up
and down the length of the community. Snowplows continue going up the
canyon road over to Bear Lake so some inches must be accumulating in
our mountain tops.
This snow/rain business has made
outdoor walking hazardous, even for as simple a thing as picking up our mail. For those of us with driveways or walks
that don't see much sun those areas are solid ice. Several residents
have slipped and gone down and are now trying to recover from bruises
and aching bones. I haven't heard of any breakages thus far, just
dangerous footing.
Another bane at this time of year is
the visit of the flu bug, and this season it is a nasty one. Seems to
be the viral type and it takes about 4 to 6 weeks to run its course,
during which time the sufferer is contagious and needs to keep to
themselves.
