With the warming weather it is time for ground work on the farming ground to get underway. Repair shops are busy places with tune-ups for equipment and tractors. It is also time for rock-picking in rocky fields in an attempt to limit future repairs to the machines.
Recent winds have played havoc to some farmers’ irrigation lines. Just one more place that needs a skilled hand to remedy so that the growing season can get underway.
The Young Women group had a night of entertainment playing broom hockey. Their ‘arena’ was the gymnasium of the Mink Creek LDS Ward building. This was no mild sweeping exercise, it is reported that several participants broke their brooms.
Margret and Kurt Iverson combined business and family when they took their sons to Utah for a few days while the guys were participating in spring sports events and Kurt was attending dental convocations. Spring break is often just a change of pace and some family down time.
Recently ReNae Egley flew with her sister Ruth and Scott Rawlings to Pennsylvania. The Rawlings have a son, Brandon, who lives in the Pittsburgh area. They enjoyed seeing the beginnings of spring in this part of our nation.
Four of our youth participated in the Gem State Ballroom Dance competition in Idaho Falls. Ella Jepsen and her partner Traven Garner placed 1st in the high school Latin Open division. Ella and her brother Ty also participated in the Solo Cabaret. Jyllian Christensen and her partner Hazen Baird placed 7th in a younger division of the Samba Open and also 7th in the Syllabus ChaCha, competing with 90 other participants. Well done, congratulations to each one!
The McKay family---all of them: Paul, Terrie, Andy, Morgan and husband Eli Curtis, traveled to Queen Creek, AZ, to spend a few days with Cody McKay and his wife Kyven. As children grow up and spread their wings it is difficult to get everyone together in our modern times. According to reports, “We just had fun being together,” and what more is needed?!
Snow to greet us the last two mornings, but by the end of each day only patches are left in shady spots. That is not to say it has warmed up, it has still been very cold and we are glad to have warm homes. We think of it as Idaho Spring, and one never knows how long it may last. Those cold winds carry the temperatures right into the bones.
