Humphries Family History

Hi all,     Nothing new that I can think of...  Dad is in D.C., they had bad weather, snow, rain, cold...but today he was able to take a walk, and it looks like a pretty day. I've sent a picture that he sent me today.  I'd love to be walking down that street with him.      Aunt Lynne has been posting a lot of old family pictures on facebook, from the 70's and 80's mostly. Check them out if you haven't seen them.     Uncle Jim's friend, Clark Myers, has finally moved to St. Anthony, from Colorado.  He has rented the apartment across the landing from Jim's apartment. The original plan was for them to share an apartment; that proved to be a bad idea, when Clark came for a visit a few months ago. Two nice guys...but they were going to drive each other crazy!     Grandpa is about the same. I stayed with him for a while on Friday afternoon, while Grandma went grocery shopping. He asked me to mak...

   Well we started out the week thinking that we were losing Grandpa, but it turned out to be a false alarm. Now I think we're in for a much longer goodbye. He seems comfortable, for the most part, and has his sense of humor, still intact. They have had lots of company this week, which has helped, I think.    Gran had a procedure on her back last week, that didn't seem to help at first, but today, she went to all three meetings at Church...first time, in a long time, she's been able to do that. So perhaps it was more helpful than we thought!    Work is good, I'm feeling really good about the Monday - Friday girl who is taking over medication reconciliation for me. Now it's time to start training the two weekend people. And my boss, Mikel, is being wonderful about the situation with Grandpa. She is fine with me going home to help Grandma when I need to,  and even suggested that I work from home sometimes.    Aimee, Ben, Sam, Heidi, I wanted...

Dear Aimee, I've been collecting these birds and pictures for quite a while. Dad finished the bathroom a few weeks ago. The small framed drawings are from an Audubon calendar I got at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Love you and miss you. Mom

Hello all!     Each week is busy and eventful. Ben is on his way home...might even be there!  We've all enjoyed this trip with you!  Loved the pictures and comments, and look forward to hearing more.     Dad got home from Boise on Thursday night, and I think he had a good week. Conducting meetings with 300 or 400 people doesn't make him nervous, and he knows what he's talking about, and is always prepared. One of the head guys said they wish they could keep him president of the IAC for more than just one year.      At work, I've been training the full time person who will take over Medication Reconciliation for me. She's catching on so well; I'm really pleased. By the middle of next week, I'll be training the two who will each be working two weekends a month. That way we'll have someone there 7 days a week who can do med/rec. This is what I've been working for, for so long. I do the best I can; but with the other parts o...

Dear everyone,      Well, Ben is in France now, and we all look forward to more pictures, and are loving the ones he's already posted.  Living vicariously through you Benjin!  It's all been very exciting so far, the A380, Notre Dame, La Mans...    Yesterday I took my Technician and General class tests for Amateur Radio licensing, and I passed them both!  I won't tell you how many times I took the practice tests online; but for me it was the best way to get through them. I learned a lot, even though it was mostly memorization of the right answers. And now I look forward to learning more as I use my new privileges.     Our friends, Bruce and Holly Forbush, from Sugar City, lost their son Brigham (35). He is married and has 3 daughters. He had been told that he had to have heart surgery or he would die. So he had the surgery, and then a few days after going home, he had a tear in his aorta and passed away anyway. I thi...
