Alexis and Scott Strong, of Ventura, CA, have presented the first grandchild for Dr. Kurt and Margret Iverson. Margret was able to be in Ventura for this date. The baby boy arrived the last day of September. The name Alexis and Scott have chosen is Fletcher Owen Strong. He is another great grandson in the full quiver of Johnny and Jeannine Iverson.
Lorraine Christensen is home recovering from surgery on her left knee of a week past. She is in that enduring phase of much physical therapy and the pain that goes with it. Her stitches have been removed and she is on the mend.
Food preservation, always part of this pioneer community, has kitchens ’putting up’ a variety of pickles, applesauce, pears, jams and jellies, tomatoes. Some residents take their produce to the county canning center, particularly for specialty items. It is time to clear off the vines, dig up those root vegetables, and put the garden spaces back into shape to wait out the winter months for the encouraging announcement of spring.
Kent & ReNae Egley celebrated the end of their last crop of hay with a road trip. They took in parts of Idaho, Wyoming , Montana and South Dakota, not necessarily in that order. Going north first to Bozeman, MT, they did some wandering around, visiting the Valley of the Little Big Horn and the site of Custer’s Last Stand. South Dakota held the beauties of the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Monument, the Needles. Devil’s Tower is tucked into an upper corner of Wyoming.
The land about is so dry, tinder-box dry. A storm will be welcome to reduce fire hazards.
However, we can’t claim to be ready for winter to descend just yet and are hoping for a pleasant fall.
Still no storm, but some wind and cooler temperatures. The first paragraphs of this blog are written on Thursdays, the deadline day at the Preston Citizen. That being said, there are four days gone when I write this tidbit on Tues night or Wed. Lots of things can happen in four days. Some of it I need to save because it is expected to be there in the printed form of the Mink Creek rural news.
But there are others. One of them is that we now have at least 3 active cases of the COVID-19, sprinkled about. There was another who tested positive one day and negative the next. Not sure how that works, but it is agreeable. As far as I know none of these have been hospitalized, but are isolating and doing their suffering at home. We are not left out, and have done our bit to contribute to the rising numbers reported in southeast Idaho.
