March 8, 2022

 

Mary Norris celebrated her 80th birthday recently. All of the Norris children were able to gather at the Norris home for a good visit with Mary and Ron. It looked like an official parking lot with their barnyard and driveway filled with vehicles.

Candy Longhurst is excited to have another baby girl added to her batch of grandchildren. This little girl arrived on February 23, and is welcomed by a not-very-big sister, Ellie. Their parents are Justin and Cynthia Longhurst who now live in Logan.

We have had two sports events for our community this winter. One has been the young men playing basketball with the schedule of games in the Preston North Stake. The second one is the invitation to all ages to play pickleball Wednesday evenings at the LDS Recreation hall. All levels of ability are welcome, beginners to advanced, including those souls who don’t come to play, just to watch and kibitz. It is the getting together that counts.

Bryce Egley, son of Jared and Juli, and a senior at Preston High, is part of a local band, led by his cousin Nick Nielsen. Bryce plays bass guitar in the group, known as Amber’s Approval. Along with the other band members they are having a great time in a variety of performances and locations.

Warming temperatures heat up the ideas of spring planting and summer gardens. Seed catalogs still exist and make for some colorful dreaming materials during the chilly months. Residents who possess green thumbs are looking forward to a green year. We are all hoping for moisture that can bring this about.

So far all these predictions of inches of snow coming our way have measured into several sessions of snow dusting.  Even an old broom could handle clearing it.  Today has been an improvement, a steady snowfall, but mostly the fluff variety. Hopefully it is storing up in our surrounding mountains. Grateful for the storm’s arrival.
