This week is all about graduating from high school. Mink Creek has five graduates from Preston High. Emily Longhurst, daughter of Candy and the late Sheldon Longhurst; Hannah Greene, daughter of Dawnell and Chad Greene; Dallon Baird, son of LaRon and Liesa Baird; Stetson Ostler, son of Alona and Stuart Ostler; Challis Jensen, son of Kalee and Russell Bair and the late Shaun Jensen. It doesn’t seem like their kindergarten days were that long ago.
Jonia Carlson has come home from an extended stay in Louisiana. She has been working with a friend, helping to repair damages done after the storms and hurricanes that have swept through that state. That part of the country has had some rather cruel weather over the last few months and bouncing back has been a long time coming.
We have had another wedding take place. Leigha Beckes married Cade Nicholls were married in Logan at the lovely Logan Depot. Leigha’s parents are Shauna and Ben Beckes from the Provo area in Utah. Cade is the son of Tom and Donna Nicholls of Mink Creek. The couple chose to go to Washington state for their honeymoon and will make their home in Mink Creek.
The Iverson welcome mat worked for several family members. Alexis Strong and her son Fletcher, were able to spend a few days with her parents, Kurt and Margret Iverson. She now lives in Longmont, CO. Johnny and Gabby Iverson brought their new little gitl Amelia down from Rexburg for some grandparent time with Kurt and Margret. Great grandparents, Johnny and Jeannine get the fun of these bonus visits.
To celebrate Mothers’ Day Jeannine and Johnny Iverson’s four daughters gathered in Mink Creek to start their spring with building a raised garden planter at waist level for the Iversons. These ladies all flew in to Salt Lake’s airport then drove up together. Rebekah is from Washougal, WA; Christine lives in Roseville, CA; Cherie, clear across the country in Virginia; and Teresa from Greeley, CO.
Kent and Tammy Beardall drove down to Spanish Fork, UT, recently for a fun family occasion. Their granddaughter, Brinlee Beardall was being baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Brinlee is the daughter of Shawn and Callie Beardall.
The wildflowers are in profusion, yellow lady slippers, golden mules’ ears with their downy leaves, larkspur and bluebells, lupine, buttercups, a good variety. Water cress season has been going for a couple of weeks, but still available with a stronger flavor. What a great place to live!
