Patti and Forrest Christensen have
another adventure on their schedule. They visit Florida often, with
Patti's daughter living there. Now the Christensens have purchased a
house in Florida. Interestingly, it was the home of Nelson Coleman's
parents, Nelson being a former resident of Mink Creek. The plan for
the future for Patti and Forrest is to be snowbirds in Florida
during winter months, soaking up the beaches and warmer climes and
then head home tp Mink Creek when warm weather arrives.
The families of Kathy and Joe Jarvis
and Jeff and Jennifer Seamons have been filled with returning
missionaries lately. They traveled to Utah to welcome Elder Jackson
Jarvis who was returning from service in the Australia, Sydney,
Mission. This past week the families have gathered again, this time
in Mink Creek to hear Elder Samuel Seamons, son of Jeff and Jennifer,
speak about his time in the Philippines, Legazpi, Mission. Samuel
returned at the beginning of October. His fraternal grandparents are
Cathy and Scot Seamons also of Mink Creek.
Laural Janke and her children Sophia
and Theo of Richfield, UT, spent the Utah School Break with her
parents Bob and Claudia Erickson. A highlight of their visit was
checking out the annual Halloween display of a friend, Arda Smith, in
Riverdale. This display is always a treat for spectators this time
of year.
Vernon Keller and members of his
family gathered to celebrate the wedding of Kylie Jensen a
granddaughter. She married Britton Peterson. Kylie is the daughter of
Karla Keller and Chris Jensen. The marriage took place at the Mt.
Naomi Farms Vineyard in Hyde Park. Karla's family were there, both
from Utah and Idaho. Oldest brother Kelton and Denise Keller and
their daughter Mari came up from Alpine, UT; Jeff and Kay Hill of
Taylorsville and some of their family; Karla's twin, Karma and Doug
Wood of Logan; a brother Kim Keller of Mink Creek; sister Kristi and
Brett Hall of Preston and their children. These are Bridger and
Kenzie Hall with baby Drew, Tyson and Ashlie Hall, and Tawni and
Tayson Reid and brand new baby, Trapper.
Spencer Wilde, son of Judy and David
Wilde, is engaged to Paige Hilton with wedding plans for November
23. The two met while attending school at BYU/Idaho in Rexburg.
Paige hails from the state of Maryland.
Since we have no choice but to endure
the very cold days of late, we are hoping the box elder bug
population will also be more than uncomfortable. Any warm surface
seems to attract them in droves outdoors. Although they don't bite,
indoors they are a constant nuisance.
The first week of Mountain Standard
Time. It always takes time to make that mental/emotional adjustment.
While it is nice to be able to have it light in the morning, getting
kids on the schoolbus, off to work, someone always complains about it
getting dark 'so early.' Actually it is just a tradeoff and the dark
hours are when humans are designed to slow down after their work day.
It always amazes me at how fast things lighten up in the days
following our “shortest day of the year.”
Our day time temperatures have risen
a bit and it seems we may have some Fall weather after all. We will
welcome it after having this scare of an early winter setting in.
