Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, UT, is a favorite spot for visitors with their multitude of spring flowers. Steve and Terry Mainini spent some time there with their daughter Angelina Koren and her daughters Ariella and Adara. They soaked up the beauty of Ashton Gardens and the annual tulip festival. The riot of color is hard to resist.
Another group of Mink Creek residents enjoyed the same location. Nate and Dana Olson, Clare and Linda Christensen, and Glade and Corinne Larsen took a break from the seasonal chores in Mink Creek to attend the tulip festival. After this outing the group drove to Park City for an overnight retreat.
The Syringa Camp of the DUP met this month for their closing social. They gathered at the Mink Creek LDS Meetinghouse for lunch and a lesson given by Virginia Flippence. The ladies were reminded of the DUP convention to be held in Preston on May 14. Following this the group drove up Station Creek Road to the home of Terry and Wendy Westerberg. This family home has sheltered three generations of the Westerberg family. Terry and Wendy have restored it to its original beauty and beyond. The home was built in 1910 for the family of Terry’s grandfather, Alfred and Ester Westerberg.
Craig and Elaine Larsen welcomed a visit from their daughter Cheryl and Mitch Cowgill and their three children. The grandchildren got a tour of nearby beaver ponds and all around the Birch Creek Larsen farm while Cheryl shared her memories of growing up in the village of Mink Creek. The Cowgills now live in Idaho and Craig and Elaine are looking forward to more frequent visits.
Jesse and Celina Groesbeck and their daughter Oakley recently moved from Mink Creek to the area near Seattle, WA. Jesse will be selling pest control programs there during the coming summer months.
Local gardeners are a little hesitant about planting this season. The fractious weather seems to lend encouragement for a few days running, warm and bright, and then delivers a possible freezer that might wipe out anything other than the most hardy of spring flowers. Weeds and lawns are doing well and bright yellow dandelions are spreading their smiling faces, even if they are not welcomed.
