First snow for the season, 2015

            Mary Jean and Larry Rasmussen have had the fun of welcoming home a missionary grandson. Kenneth Carr, son of Hayes and Terry Carr of Centerville, UT, recently returned from serving in the California, Riverside, Mission. Mary Jean and Larry were able to be at the airport on his arrival, and again in Centerville to hear his report to his LDS Ward.
            Talk about a vacation, Kent and ReNae Egley have been touring the Atlantic Coast for several weeks! This was timed to enjoy the beauty of New England in the fall season and it lived up to its reputation. Breathtaking loveliness and all sorts of history! To name a few of their stops: New York City, Newport, RI; Massachusetts, Maine, and Canada. Canada deserves a whole chapter by itself: St. Johns Bay in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia with its lighthouses and historical Halifax, Quebec, a place much heard of with Montreal and Quebec City (the nest door neighbor of the Egleys was born in Montreal), then to the Atlanta International Airport where they connected with their pilot son, Jared Egley, for a quick visit before he went to his flight and they headed home to the Salt Lake City Airport.
           Austin Jones is enduring a session of home-bound recuperation. He broke his leg in a fall from a roof while working at his talent of construction. The inactivity was not part of the plan.
           Election day was wet and blustery. There were moments when the wind was sufficiently strong that it took extra strength to pull open the entry door. Rain fell the day long. Regardless there was a good turnout, particularly for such a small amount of candidates on our fire commissioner ballot. Over fifty percent of the ballots given were used by our citizens. We appreciate the opportunity to vote.

          I just don't have enough newspaper space for the activities lately, I am falling behind. We had our community fall social/trunk or treat, but that needs to be in the printed page, not on the blog. The Primary program meets the same qualifications. I guess I know what needs to start off the next column.
          This morning we awoke to a white world. The flakes started falling last night, the big feathery kind that just floated down and kept coming until the blanket was lain. Hopefully things will dry out again so that some of that carpet of fallen leaves can be raked and hauled off to a burn pile.
          The work on the bridge over Mink Creek by the ballpark is still going on. The workers are bundled up against the cold. One lane appears completed but it is still slowing up the traffic with their stop light. There should be a big party when this project gets wrapped up.
