Humphries Family History

Hello Everybody,    Tomorrow is Macy's third birthday! Happy birthday, dear Macy! We all hope you have a wonderful birthday! I think that's the day that your family will get home from their Utah trip...it's always nice to be back home again!    Dad/Grandpa is at Aimee's and James' house this weekend, and will then go to meetings in Riggins. I expect him home Thursday night. I hope he's having a great time in Moscow!    A couple of days ago Grandpa Humphries was having some leg cramps, and Dad/Grandpa suggested that maybe he needed some bananas for potassium. I got some, but doubted that he would eat any, because he's a pretty picky eater, and has been eating very little recently. I took them over Saturday morning, and he was so excited, and ate a big one right then...just wolfed it down. Even though he was enjoying it so much, he offered half of it to Grandma; but he seemed pleased to know that there was another one for her. Later ...

Hi everybody,     Aunt Venae's surgery went really well. It was supposed to take 6 hours, but they were finished in an hour and a half! She will be released to come home one day this week. I hope that the shorter surgery time, will also mean a shorter time she'll have to be off work too. She had been told she'd be off work for 12 weeks, and she's been quite worried about that. I'll let you know more later.     Sister Delana Marler passed away the other day. She was 55; she is the oldest daughter of Ruth Orr, and the mother of Lisa and Jenny, who had been in Ben's and Sam's classes, when they were all young. She and Steve had moved to Teton a few years ago, and neither of them have had good health, but I thought that he would go first. They both have diabetes, heart problems, etc... Dad and I will go to her viewing this evening at Bidwell's.     Dad got his new call sign! It is a short one that only Extra Class Hams...

Happy Easter Sunday to you all!     Conference has been wonderful, as usual. I hope that you will have the chance to watch or read the talks, if you didn't get to hear them today. I often find myself thinking of many of you as I listen to the talks. Today was no different. And especially you, Ben, when Bishop Causse, told that his family hadn't been to the Eiffel Tower, even after living near it for 20 years!  What things do we live near, that others would travel far to see? And more to his point, what blessings or opportunities do we have, that others only dream of?    Yesterday, Grandpa told us about a dream he had...at least I think it was a dream. He sometimes seems confused, but when I mentioned that he might feel confused, he said "I feel like I'm in a daze." Anyhow, he said that he was "greeting the men, as they came into the coffee shop." Then the next thing he knew, he was telling them that it was time for conference, and that "we all ...
