The fall winds have been making regular
visits and have pretty much swept the dried leaves off the deciduous
trees. Pheasant hunters have been enjoying going through the habitat
of these beautiful birds. They are good a playing Hide and Seek.
Clare Christensen had a bout in the
Logan Hospital. When he showed up at the local hospital in Preston
they put him on an ambulance and sent him to Logan. It turned out to
be a ruptured appendix and he and Linda were grateful to have
hospital services with quick action..
Mary Ann Jepsen took a few days to go
to Sacramento, CA, with a group of friends for a girlfriend reunion.
The California friend was having some health challenges so they were
there to boost her spirits and spent four days playing games and
just fun in general. Mary Ann reported that the skies in that part
of the state were smoke laden from the northern California fires.
Tom Sharp, a neighbor from down the
road in Riverdale, enjoyed some time with his son Jackson in the
Salmon River country. They caught some hefty trout, watched mountain
sheep in action. It is one of Tom's favorite spots and he returns as
often as he can.
Glen and Betty Jo Jepsen have spent
some time in the area around Dallas, TX recently. Their son Kyle and
Stacy live there and have a new baby girl for these grandparents to
get to know. This was the time for her name and blessing. She was
given the name of Alexandra Emery Jepsen, with smiles all around.
Sherrie Corbett has taken on the sport
of rowing and is having a great time. This lady seems to thrive on
challenges : races of various lengths, new goals at the gym and now
has added rowing to her accomplishments.
Part of the Thanksgiving holiday in
this neck of the woods is the presence of many people in our canyons,
tromping about as they try to locate the perfect live tree for their
home. It is a good thing they don't all want the same tree! The
action has already started and will only increase in the coming days.
Thanksgiving Day was full of cold
sunshine. The foreboding warnings of storms moving in during the
three days following did not materialize. A bit of rain now and
again, but not much. People were seen hiking the roads here and
there, but any treks into our fields yielded muddy footwear.
As is usual for this holiday we had
plenty of visitors while at the same time many of our residents went
elsewhere. More details for some of that next week.
New homes under construction has been
mentioned a while back. It is a happy report to say that the outside
constructions appears to be intact and that now it is the inner
workings that are underway. Just in time for some more nasty weather
to arrive.
