It has been frigid up here as well as the lower regions of
the county. We have had our share of fog
and hoar frost. While it is beautiful it
does not make for comfortable living.
Cars don’t want to start, water sources for outside animals have to be
broken regularly, house pipes freeze, etc. etc.
Eldon and Danita Wilcox had most of
their family here to wrap up 2012: Matt
and Brittany Durrant and their baby girl from Salt Lake
City where Matt is at the U of U. Tyson and MaKenzie Gunter, now
going to school at ISU in Pocatello.
Ami Fenton and her bunch of four from Tooele,
UT. Elise and Jeff Hardy and
family of six from North Ogden. When the family gets together it really fills
up the Wilcox home quickly, not to mention their lack of parking spaces for that many vehicles. Located up against a hillside, their place
doesn’t allow for spreading out or turning around.
Michelle Wall brought her two
children from Grand Junction, CO. for a stay with her parents, Kent and Tammy
Beardall. Michelle also brought a batch
of puppies. She is a brave woman to make
that trip in the winter with all these noisy passengers.
Hayden Egley, daughter of Jared and
Julie Egley, has graduated from Primary.
She received her Certificate of Graduation and also earned the Faith in
God award.
The community enjoyed their annual
ski party at Beaver
Mountain. It was a very crisp night and families
enjoyed visiting together in the lodge and sharing victuals of all sorts. Preston 4th Ward joined in the fun. Approximately
90 people had fun on the slopes, with all levels of skill involved. In addition to skiing there was snow boarding
and sledding going on. No injuries were
reported.
We have had more than our share of
the flu that is going around. A person
doesn’t know for sure whether “flu” is the right label to attach or not. Some cases are a flu match. Much of the problems are more along the
bronchitis line---coughing, coughing for several weeks. Not much voice, tired to the bone. Not much
fun!!
Some of you
may be missing a familiar smiling face at the United States Post Office in Preston. Eldon
Wilcox has been retired for several weeks.
He is happy with his new position of house husband. The smiling face is still intact along with
the sense of humor.
