Life has been a little crazy lately. I have had my husband in the hospital. He is home now, but we are in quarantine and that presents several challenges just by itself. My friends and neighbors have been so good to us, I am always finding treats on my doorstep: food, jigsaw puzzles, books, and more food. Offers to pick up anything I might need in town.
Last night my dishwasher decided to quit, in the middle of a cycle. So that is one more item, and, being out of contact, no repairman. Good thing I still know how to wash dishes by hand.
The big winds that tore things up to the south of us did come through, but with less damage. Some of the apples from our orchard were flung to the opposite side of the house. A few tree branches littered the yard. That advance warning, and tucking things in prior to the hit was most helpful.
Tara Jepsen, daughter of Kerry and Melinda Jepsen, has received a mission call from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She will be serving in the New Zealand, Hamilton, Mission and receive her training at that Training center. Her departure date is September 24th.
Bob and Claudia Erickson and two daughters, Carla Nielsen and Laural Janke made a road trip to Wyoming with two goals in mind. One was to pursue some genealogy information on Claudia’s lines and the other was to donate a vintage dress belonging to an early Wyoming settler to the Carbon County Museum in Rawlins, WY. After trudging through two cemeteries the needed info was retrieved and the dress delivered the following day. They took advantage of their location, taking the Snowy Range highway through the Medicine Bow National Forest.
The wedding of Conner Nielson and Harley Carlisle took place at the Egley Park in Mink Creek. The son of Tara and Jeff Nielson, Conner’s grandparents are Kent and ReNae Egley. The new couple will be making their home in Pocatello and pursuing studies at Idaho State.
Elder Walter Iverson, formerly assigned to the Dominican Republic Mission, is now serving in the Alabama, Burlington, Mission and is currently part of the mission home staff in that city. He is keeping busy. Kurt and Margret Iverson now have two sons in the missionfield. Elder Andrew has just started in Texas.
Henry Wayne Phillips, oldest son of Brint and Brittnee Phillips, was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. All of his grandparents were there to witness this occasion, Jonia Carlson of Mink Creek, and Dick and Babette Phllips of Glendale, ID. Other family members came from Oregon, Utah and Hawaii. Later that day family and friends enjoyed a watermelon bust in celebration at the Mink Creek Ballpark.
Kim and Joe Tracy of Star, ID, brought their children Perry, Kayla and Krystal for some grandparent time with Lorraine and Royce Christensen. Two sisters joined the group for a family cookout, Carrie Melton and her sons, Kenny and Thomas coming from Layton, UT, and Colleen Carter and her daughters Melanie and Addilee from Preston.
