The days are not overly warm, but
rushing waters and blooming flowers still indicate spring. Depending
on how far up or down our little valley on may notice daffodils,
narcissus, the bright red and yellow tulips, blossoming fruit trees
wild and domestic. Some gardens are already planted, some growers
still waiting on what is hoped to be the 'final frost.'
Ty Jepsen, son of Kerry and Melinda
Jepsen, was ordained to the office of priest in the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Grady Stansworth, the son of Kaci and
Heath Avery, was recently baptized and confirmed a member of the
Church.
Bret and Jody Rasmussen have returned
from a trip to Texas. They took their daughter, Cheyenne Lloyd and
her new baby to the Shepherd Air Force Base where husband, and new
father, Kaden Lloyd is currently stationed.
Two of our 'in and out' residents have
been in their Mink Creek homes recently. Both are Utah located in
their daily lives: Nancy and Kevin Alder and Sam and Sylvia Stanger.
We look forward to warmer weather when they will stay around longer.
The community helped Brint and
Brittnee Phillips get moved into their home high on the slopes above
Strawberry Creek. The family has been an active part of our village,
but have been living in Preston while the Mink Creek home was under
construction. Many hands in the moving process helped to shorten the
labor time and was much appreciated.
Sherrie and Shane Corbett are happy to
announce the engagement of their daughter Brooke. She will be
marrying Josh Reichman, a young man from Colorado, this coming June.
Jyllian Christensen, our 11 year old
equestrian, has been crowned the Princess of the War Bonnet Roundup
Rodeo, Idahos oldest rodeo. This first daughter of Lacey and Kerry
Christensen has always loved horses and most everything connected
with being a cowgirl. Her interests are broad and varied, she
competes in ballroom dancing, sings, plays the violin and is an avid
reader. She loves all things rodeo and is looking forward to this
opportunity that has come her way.
Sharla and Lin McKay spent a weekend
in Springville, UT, with their son Payton and Judith Newby, blessing
a new baby girl, named Adalind. While there they celebrated Sharla;s
birthday with strawberry shortcake, minus candles.
No warm spring breezes wafting through
our community lately. Instead a constant wind, hours on end,
carrying a definite chill, but still drying things out as only a wind
can.
The season is moving along and most
days have been warm, even to the point of not wearing jackets.
Everything is beautiful, Mink Creek picture perfect. It warms the
soul just to look outdoors. Clean air, clear skies, a spat of rain
on occasion. Each fruit tree is blossoming according to their timing.
An added bonus is that the turkey marauders have headed to higher
ground for the summer, at least it appears so.
