Humphries Family History

  Hello to my family!    Last week as I was out taking a walk and listing to music (through my Bluetooth/hearing aids) on Spotify a song came on that I hadn't thought about in years and years. I started laughing and I'm sure that anyone watching me would have thought I had lost it! It's called the Tennessee Bird walk, by Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan...it's just silly, but it made me laugh when it first came out in 1970 and still does, I guess. It's much funnier if you listen to it.  Take away the trees and the birds All have to sit upon the ground, uum Take away their wings and The birds will have to walk to get around And take away the bird baths And dirty birds will soon be ev'rywhere Take away their feathers and The birds will walk around in underwear Take away their chirp and the Birds will have to whisper when they sing And take away their common sense and They'll be headed southward in the spring Oh remember my darling When spring is in the ai...

  Hi everybody!    Dad is pretty much over the flu now, but still coughing some. He taught a concealed carry class on Friday night and Saturday and he was pretty tired but made it through alright. The weather on Saturday was nice for them out on the range; I was really glad about that. I had been afraid if he spent a day out in wet, cold weather he would have a relapse, but it was in the 40's and sunny for the most part.    Our house well went dry on Friday, but as in other years we just hook up to the well next door which is much deeper and we have water! When the water is low before the well goes dry the washer pulls some gravel and gets plugged up and won't wash very well. But now with water again, all we have to do is clean out the filter on the back of the washer and we're up and running again!    Today we had our last two Ward Conferences for this year; we went to Parker 1st and 2nd Wards. I got to see Diane Davenport, Chris Brown, Anna...

  Dear all,    Another week gone quickly by! I hope it's been a good one for each of you. Dad was in Boise for meetings all week; he's the president of the Idaho Sheriff's Association and had to conduct lots of  meetings, some nights late into the evening. He got to see Heidi's and Dixie's families, but not as much as he would like to have. Then on his last day of meetings he realized he was getting sick and headed home. The flu (fever, body aches) is bad enough, but it's best to be home when you feel like that. I'm happy to report that he seems a bit better today; he actually has an appetite and hasn't fevered in several hours, that I know of.    I'm so glad that Ben was able to be there to support Riley in his new calling as Bishop of the Lakewood Ward. And it's so cool that Kevin's Dad, Alma, is one of his counselors.    A new president was announced at BYUI last week, President Henry J Eyring will take over in April. With all the ripple e...
