Humphries Family History

Dear everybody,    First of all...Happy birthday, Ellen!  Grandpa and I were camping in Island Park, and didn't get you called!  We hope you had a wonderful day.  12 years old!  Oh, my goodness, that's hard to believe!    It seems that many of you are away from home right now, or just were, or are about to be... :) I haven't kept track of everyones plans, but I look forward to hearing all about this weeks activities!     Dad and I had planned to leave for our camping trip on Thursday afternoon, but a couple of other things made us put it off until Friday morning. Dad went to the debriefing meeting for the Emergency Communications drill we were involved in last Saturday. It was at the Stake Center about a mile east of the Rexburg Temple.  And I went to a viewing for Imelda Vargas. Below is a picture of her and her mother, Rosa, which was taken several years ago. Imelda was 40, and had an aneurysm in her brain, quite unexpecte...

Hi all,    Well, Ben and Sam completed the Denver Century Ride yesterday, and to quote Sam, "it was brutal."  100 miles in 96 degree heat, after a late night, and a long day the day before.  I'm glad you did it, but I'm also glad it's over!  Very proud of you both!    On Thursday night, we had the first meeting of Madison Memorial's Patient Family Advisory Council.  Almost all who were invited, attended. And those who did were very engaged, and seemed to really catch the gist of what we are hoping to accomplish.  My bosses were really pleased with how it all turned out; I was too, but mostly just relieved to have it over!     Yesterday, Dad and I participated in the Regional emergency communications exercise.  Dad was in charge of it for our Stake, and he did an amazing job. It went from 9am til noon, but Dad was up late the night before, and up early that morning, to make sure he was ready with all the equipment he mig...

Hi everyone,    Well this week flew by... Dad is home!  He got home yesterday and it's wonderful to have him back. This afternoon he went to the office for a while, having not been there in 10 days; and then he has a Stake Priesthood meeting at 6 this evening.    Tuesday evening Teresa Anderson and I made the birthday visits for June; they were wonderful as always. Our first year as a presidency we took each sister a cupcake. This year we are taking small bottles of spice mix that we mixed together. We made 120 of them last month in Peggy's kitchen, and have them all ready in the RS closet. We just add a small card with the sisters name on it, and visit them at home. We usually have 8-10 visits each month, so it takes about 2-3 hours the first Tuesday evening. One other member of the presidency goes with me each month.    It's been really hot here all week, until yesterday during the Relay for Life, when of course it turned off cold, windy and rainy...

Hi everybody!    It's been a super busy week, but now that I sit down to write, I can't remember much about it... Hopefully it will come to me as I ramble.    First, the picture below. I was taking Moose for a walk the other evening, first we had gone south from our road, and had just turned east toward Dan Weaver's house, when way off in the distance I could see someone coming toward us, also walking their dog, and I could see it was a pretty big dog...much bigger than Moose. But as they came nearer, I thought to myself, that dog walks pretty funny!  Then finally I could see that it was McKay Cardon WALKING HIS SHEEP!  They were half a mile from home. I suspect this sheep is his 4H project this summer. Ellen, McKay is almost 13...just thought you might want to know for future reference ;).     I'm learning to do Indexing on Family Search. I really enjoy it too. Bradley, I think it could be as addictive as Angry Birds!  And you know h...
