The family of Angelo and Karissa Crosland gathered at the home of his parents, Robert and Phee Crosland to celebrate the blessing of Angelo and Karissa’s first baby. This daughter was named Elsie Ann Crosland. All together there were 45 family members present, coming from Utah, Idaho, Colorado and Washington, D. C. Armando is the brother employed back east he has since returned after a couple of weeks of vacation time in Idaho.
With school days rapidly approaching nationwide, it has been a time for family connections, cousin play time, before going back to studies. Such was the case for Wynn and Cecelie Costley. Their bunch came together to celebrate a birthday for Cecelie and to have one last session with Hannah Costley Singleton and her sons, Grey and Samuel, before they returned to El Dorado, AR.
Kim and Sam Daines have been up from Lehi, UT, to spend some days with her mother, Judy Clark and other family members. Judy may now live in Preston, but Mink Creek is still 'home.'
Drew Erickson spent the rodeo weekend with his parents, Bob and Claudia Erickson. He enjoyed the “cooler temperatures” of Idaho, compared to his current home in Tempe, AZ. Rodeo weekend is the time for many Preston High class reunions and this was the 30th year for the Class of 1993, Erickson’s graduating class. From all reports it was well attended and it was fun reconnecting.
Kurt and Margret Iverson took their family to Mexico for a late summer get-away, timing it beofre fall sports practices kicked in for their son Conner at PHS. The Iversons have been gathering around as well. Walter and Andrew and their wives will be heading back to college soon at BYU in Provo, UT. Alexis and her husband are still located in Colorado. Johnny and Gabby are in the Rexburg area. That covers the family except for Elder Charles who is serving a mission in the Philippines.
There are reports of moose and elk showing up for spectators in our canyons. This doesn’t mean that deer aren’t seen, those sightings are on a more regular basis and cause less excitement.
4H projects are in their final stages as participants wind things up to present at the Franklin County Fair in the next few days. Kids, animals and other projects are down to the final stages.
The countryside is taking on that look and feel of Fall---tan fields that just a short time ago were green, chokecherries and huckleberries ready for picking, the meteor showers that fill the night hours. People talking about school shopping and going to the county fair. It is nice to live where the season changes.
