Pheasant and elk are still on the
lookout for hunters. Our deer, however
are feeling safe, happily grazing in fields.
Both bucks and does do check out a passing driver but go right back to
the munching with little concern.
October is the month for the annual
program produced by the LDS Primary. This is always something to look forward
to as attendees are both taught and entertained, children being a bit
unpredictable no matter how much they practiced for the event. Their theme this year dealt with choosing the
right. In addition to speaking parts
children participated in a both a vocal choir and a bell choir. They sang hymns and Primary songs. Along with the Primary teachers, Primary
president Candy Longhurst, chorister Melinda Jepsen and pianist Cecelie Costley
worked with the children. The Preston
North Stake officers were represented by Jolene Tanner and Kathy Winward.
The Primary organization was also
in charge of the community Trunk r Treat for Halloween. This event began with a Harvest Dinner of a
variety of soups, rolls and crackers, and brownies. A parade of costumes went all through the
dining area, looping around the table, up over the stage so that the audience
got a good view. The evening ended with
children gathering treats offered from trunks of cars of all our neighbors in
the parking lot.
Fred and Victoria Christensen drove
up from their home in Provo
for a weekend with his parents, Royce and Lorraine Christensen. Fred is going to school at Utah Valley
University.
Claire Jepsen celebrated an
important birthday, 16th, and moved into the Laurel Class in the
Young Women’s organization. James
Baird, with a similar birthday, was ordained to the office of a priest. He was presented with recognition for earning
the Duty to God as a Teacher.
The Christmas
DI Drive is underway. Items that would
be good purchases for the holidays are requested: gently used clothes, decoration items, domestic upgrades, toys (also gently used, or
now ignored). Actually anything that
comes to mind that might be needed or wanted for this particular time of year.
Some variety of a stomach flu is
making its way around this area. It
seems impossible not to share, hitting one member of a family and moving on
through most of the rest. It is of short
duration, but intense during the 24 hours or so that it afflicts an individual.
By the time this is published all
the months of politics will be a thing of the past. Some faces will be all smiles, other full of
frustration. No matter the outcome at
least our phones will resume normality, the mail glut will decrease. I keep telling me---there has to be some
positive, regardless of which way it goes.
