March 30, 2021

 March has been a month of fitful weather, no  guessing what the next day might bring, regardless of what the weatherman on TV had to say about it.  One day left and although it has been cold and windy, the sun has shone.  Just that brings a feeling of cheer.  The predictions for the rest of the week are favorable, maybe the neighborhood Easter Egg hunts will be able to take place outdoors. Fingers crossed!

The youth of Mink Creek participated in a food drive for the County food pantry. They toured the whole village looking for food placed on doorstops to add to the goal set for this group. They gathered up donated food on a rainy/snowing morning and delivered 907 pounds of food.

Eldon and Danita Wilcox are home from a trip to Florida and a family visit with Danita’s brother, Forrest and Patti Christensen in Wellborn, FL. The Christensens have a beautiful place in the northern part of the state. Florida was experiencing a “cold spell” while they were there with the temperature at 70 degrees, plenty warm for Eldon and Danita. They met up with their son Brigham and Jen Wilcox and their four children at Disney World, and all of the adults got a good workout keeping up with grandkids. Brigham’s family live in Idaho Falls so this took good family planning to make the connection so far from home.

The Young Women of the LDS Ward have been making treats to share with families when they make a surprise visit. All of the youth of the village were invited to Bishop Paul McKay’s home for a Missionary Zoom meeting.

Davanie Ostler and Liberty Stanworth as members of the Preston High School Cheer Squad, placed 1st in show at the Idaho State Cheer Championships. The competition was held at the Ford Idaho Center in Boise.

Samuel Seamons, son of Jeff and Jennifer Seamons, married Ana Mae Buenavista last month, with an April appointment at the Manila Temple for their sealing. Ana Mae is from the Philippines and they are living there at this time. Their current plan is to take up residency in the States in a few months.

The newborn calves and lambs are prancing about this spring no matter the weather. It has been a variety lately, bits of sunshine, glooms of rain and flurries of snow, totally unpredictable.

That constant hum that fills the air when tractors are on the move is starting in Mink Creek. It is time. I have seen a set of harrows stirring up a mild cloud of dust and wondered how that was possible after the damp days we have had recently.
