Dana and Charlie Petersen and their family drove down from Meridian, ID, just before the holiday to spend some time with her parents, Jimmie and Anna Beth Olson. Then they headed to Rigby, along with Mike and Anna Olson’s family of Brigham City, UT. The majority of the Olson family met together for Thanksgiving at the home of Peggy and Jon Flinders in Rigby, ID. Jimmie and Anna Beth had previous commitment to be in St. George over the holidays with their son Jerry and Christine Olson and family. This Olson bunch had good weather fun touring some of the national parks located in southern Utah.
Has anyone noticed the beautiful swans that have been visiting the northern end of the county? The flocks have been seen in fields near Banida and Winder, and, appropriately on the Swan Valley lake.
Walter Iverson, now a student at BYU in Provo, UT, and Johnny Iverson, his wife Gabby and their daughter Emelia from Rexburg, ID, came home to be with Kurt and Margret Iverson over Thanksgiving. Grandparents, Jeannine and Johnny Iverson were there. Kurt had also invited a niece, Erica and Steve Mannowitz and their 5 children from Newton, UT, to spend the day.
Maria and Devin Flake and son Jude were up from Orem, UT, taking in these last few days of warm fall at the farm. Maria’s mother is Lana Baird McCracken and the Flake family love to come to Lana and Ivan’s place for lots of grandparenting. Joining them for a belated Thanksgiving were Daniel and Heather Baird and family, Savannah and Danny Wells and baby Damien, and Joshua Coats, all of Sugar City. LaRon and Liesa Baird’s family, living across the road, were part of the gathering.
Thanksgiving meant a household of 20 at the home of Bob and Claudia Erickson. Dinner was served in the garage, swept and warmed. Overnight guests were the Jay and Kristin Collins family from Lakeview, OR, and the Jody and Laural Janke family from Rexburg. Day-only arrivals were Jarin and Brynlee McKague of Idaho Falls, Carla and Mark Nielsen family of American Fork, UT, and Ethan McKague of Provo, UT.
Our slopes are getting several inches of the white stuff tonight. The weatherman had said this should happen and we are happy to see it delivered. Earlier the wind was sweeping through bringing the snow behind it. It is time to hunker down and find a good read. It is a challenge to keep the TV discs swept clear in order to watch whatever might be on during the storm.
