We may need a reminder that it is spring, nearly summer, and our wildlife critters that have been in hibernation are now out and about again. Don’t know that the raccoons ever slept much, but the skunks are making their presence known. They love to visit outdoor feeding stations for our domestic pets and we hope that the pets will give them a wide berth.
Most of the children of Eldon and Danita Wilcox were gathered here over the Memorial Day weekend. Elise and Jeff Hardy and their children from North Ogden, Ami and Tom Fenton and family from Tooele, UT, MaKenzie and Tyson Gunter and their youngsters of Arimo, ID, Brigham and Jenipher Wilcox with their children from Idaho Falls and of course Jesse and Annavelyn Wilcox and Desmond from within our boundaries. Only Lezli and Brittany were absent.
Bryant Douglas Nelson, who did his growing up life in Mink Creek, has passed away. He had an accident about 3 years ago, falling from a ladder and has been suffering from the damage caused since that time. He is the son of Edna Brown and Douglas Nelson and graduated from Preston High School in 1963. He and his wife Linda have raised their family in Hewitt, TX.
Jeff Olson had a fun visit from daughter Lesli and Jared Nehmer and their little ones, Hannah and Cal. The Nehmer family live in the Salt Lake City area and Jeff thoroughly enjoyed showing his grandchildren the fun things around his home on Station Creek.
Mink Creek’s oldest citizen, Naomi Wilde, has celebrated her 107th birthday in Pocatello. This year she chose the adventure of riding a camel as her birthday treat. Somehow her children were able to comply with her wishes. Happy Birthday, N’om. It is reported, and photographed that the camel event took place.
To whom it may concern: Keep in mind that it is the Mink Creek Originals summer party on June 18, 11 a.m. at the Mink Creek Ballpark. Lunch sacks are each $13. Bring a lounge chair to be comfy during the all the visiting and catching up.
We overlooked another high school graduate from Mink Creek. Bracken Christensen, son of Bryan Christensen also received his diploma. Bracken will be working at home on their farm for the summer and has plans to attend Utah Tech University in St. George (formerly Dixie State U) in the fall, studying sports kinesiology. Bryan’s older son, Carson is engaged to Shalayla Elliot and they have plans to marry in the fall. Another part of what we’ll call “the Christensen Chronicles” is that Bryan’s brother, Phil Christensen, and Jenny Hollingsworth were married on May 21 at the Benson Ranch. Close family and friends attended.
Judging from the temperatures that we have had the last few days, it might be advisable to bring a blanket to wrap up in if you are attending the Mink Creek Originals get together in a few days. It has been cold, even hovering above freezing during night hours. The forecast indicates that all will be fine, warm, etc. so this caution is probably not needed. However..... See you there!
