Christmas Day, 2019

Sorry for this week late post.  Can you imagine why a woman would neglect a weekly post that came due on Christmas Day?  Well, that explains things!

        Jeannine and Johnny Iverson were happy to have a visit from their son Steven and Jessie Iverson of Dallas, TX and their children, Daniel and Christina. Another part of the package was Steven's son Michael and Julia Iverson and their four youngsters of Spanish Fork, UT. For a few hours Aaron and Tandy Iverson, plus their five children, stopped by. This last family lives in Virginia but were visiting family in Pocatello. Those southerners were happy to have some snow fall providing some winter play before their headed for home.
          Layne and Karen Erickson and Paul and Terrie McKay and son, Andy, gathered at the home of Bryan and Shannon Erickson in Wellsville, UT, for the holiday feasting. They were met there by Connie and Adam Westenskow from Woods Cross, UT, and Eli and Morgan Curtis from Logan.
         The Mink Creek community Christmas party was full of people, food and entertainment. Tables running the length of the hall were decorated for the season and the chairs were quickly filled.. Plates holding a large croissant filled with ham, cheese and lettuce and a cup of broccoli salad, plus a chocolate brownie, iced with peppermint were served by the youth. There were potato chips and apricot mayo in the center of the tables within easy reach of the diners. After tummies were satisfied all eyes turned towards the stage where an original play, written by Cecelie Costley, was about to take place. The title was “More Than a Baby In a Manger.” Local residents made up the cast, with hours spent preparing. It takes a sizey group of volunteers to manage an evening of this description. Phee Crosland, Terrie McKay, Brittnee Phillips, Trevor and April Rasmussen and the LaRon and Liese Baird family were key contributors for the production. The kitchen crew consisted of Margret Iverson, Kim and Wally Christensen, Mary Ann and Mike Jepsen, Cathy Seamons, Tammy Beardall, Sid and Lisa Whitehouse and Ben and Marie Keller.
          George Jensen, brother to Lael Jensen Littke, passed way the last part of November. He has been living in California not too far from Lael in Pasadena.
           Ramona Ranzenberger Crane, wife of Keith Crane died on December 15. She has been living in St.George, UT, near her daughter Lisa. Growing up in Smithfield, Ramona taught elementary school in Mink Creek for a number of years. After she and Keith moved their family of 5 children to Burley, ID, she continued teaching there. She will be buried in Mink Creek.
