Humphries Family History

Hi everybody,    Lynsey had her birthday a few days ago, I tried to call, but didn't get to talk to her...so Happy birthday, Lynsey!  We're so happy you're in our family!     Naomi sent us the most wonderful little package in the mail. It was full of Origami creations she has made. I've attached a picture of them, so you all can see. Thank you, Naomi; you do beautiful work!    I turned names in to the Bishop last Saturday, but it seems to be taking a while to get my counselors and secretary called. They let me know yesterday that it will be the Sunday after Conference before we are put in. I'm kind of eager to get started, but at the same time...I can wait!    We had a major dust storm yesterday. Fremont County had to close some roads. And during Gayle Rumsey's funeral procession to the cemetery, some of the cars couldn't see the cars in front of them, and got lost. They all made it in the end. I forgot to tell you that Gayle Ru...

Hi all,     Another busy week, which went by so quickly that I can't think of anything to tell you about it. I hope I think of something before this letter is finished.     I have some flowers, from bulbs I planted last fall, coming up right by the front porch; but something is eating them!  A mouse, a rabbit, ??? I've decided to sprinkle them with cayenne pepper, to see if that will discourage the little beastie.      Dante's team from Mountain Home went to State Debate tournament which was held in Rexburg. I had planned to go after work to watch it, but that didn't work out. Uncle Jim went over, and evidently his team did well.     I think you all know about Charley getting hit by a car Friday afternoon, but he is okay. He and some friends were crossing with the crossing guard, but somehow the driver didn't see them. He was hit, and knocked into his two friends, no one was run over, thank goodness. Ellen had a close call like t...

Hey you all!,     I had an interesting experience the other night.  I was trying to find my old HAM license, so I can apply to get the old call sign back, and while I was looking for it (never found it, by the way), I found a letter with some pictures of Gran, Aimee, Heidi, me, and my friend Mary Jo's daughter, Anne. They were taken in the fall of 1985. Mary Jo had died the day after Anne was born, so she was being raised by her father and grandparents in Ogden, Utah. We had gone down to visit for an afternoon. The letter and pictures were from Anne's grandmother. The letter is so sweet, and the pictures are priceless.  When I found Anne on Facebook a couple of years ago, she seemed happy to know someone who knew her mother, but she has been less than responsive to wanting to know more herself. So anyhow, I found these pictures and letter, and thought to myself...I wonder if I could get her to respond, so I can send these to her?  About 3 minutes la...

   Happy 4th birthday to Maddie!  Grandpa got to be there for her birthday, and was able to go to Church with them today. Now he's on his way home, and I'll be picking him up tonight about 11pm. It'll be great to have him home again.    Something I forgot to mention in my last letter. Dad spoke to the Third grade class at Parker-Egin Elementary a week or so ago. The teacher is Laurel Christensen (from our Ward). It must have been a great time, cause a couple days after he left for the D.C. trip, Laurel came by and brought a stack of thank you notes from each of the kids, and a Marie Callender's Peach Pie...it's in the freezer, awaiting his homecoming.  I must have married a comedian; several of the kids mentioned how funny he was. "You are a great Sheriff, a funny one too." Other comments were about their Grandparents, or parents having voted for him, and that they would like to vote for him too. I've included the pictu...
