Humphries Family History

  Hello everybody!    Wow, April is almost over . . . and that means that Calvin's birthday is TUESDAY! Then we'll have three 6 year olds! Happy birthday, dear Calvin! Gran went with me to Stella Dunn's funeral. Charlie's daughter, Shannon, and her family, live in Texas now; Heath and his family live in SLC. I had seen Heath pretty recently. Seeing Wayne's and Luena's kids: Shelby, Christy, Becky, Joey, Rodney, and Alana, was so sweet, and they seemed just as happy to see me. I think Stella's boys, Vic, Wayne, and Charlie, are going to get the place ready to sell pretty soon.     President Moon and I were invited to another training meeting, this one was last Tuesday evening . . . from 6-9:30! It was long, but really good too. Elder Bowen, of the Seventy, Pres. Nelson, the Idaho Falls Mission President, and one member each from the IF and Rexburg Temples, taught us. There were 18 Stake Presidents, and 18 of us Stake RS Presidents.     Then th...

  Hello to you all,    Happy birthday to Macy this Friday; we love you and will be thinking of you, dear girl. We always look forward to seeing pictures of birthday cakes and of any party activities too!    Stella Dunn passed away a few days ago, and her funeral will be this Tuesday. Stella was 92; she and her husband, Jim, had been our neighbors for most of the last 40 years. Jim and our dog, Bubbles, had a special relationship. A while back, when I took Moose to meet her, she was very sweet to him, but almost immediately started talking about Jim and Bubbles.     Another great lady passed this week: Barbara Bush. She was sometimes controversial and outspoken, but then, so was Abigail Adams; the only other woman in US history to have been the wife of a president, and the mother of another one. I didn't get to watch the funeral, but I hope to catch some clips of it online.     Dad and I had a special treat this week; we got to meet ...

  Dear everybody,    Oh, my goodness, last Monday I got Gran to let me type as she told some of her personal history. It was hard for her; definitely not in her comfort zone, but it's a start! Now today she told me she is ready for me to start putting her grandmother's story in the computer too. She's not a fast typist, so she wants me to do it. I'm really excited to do this.     Also, during Sacrament meeting today I had the thought that what would be my Daddy's 90th birthday is coming up, May 19th. So between meetings, I sent a text to my sibs, inviting them to our house for a birthday commemoration dinner. There will be just 10 of us, including Mama. It will also be John's wife, Annie's birthday; so we can celebrate that too!     Well, yesterday was interesting for me; a real roller-coaster of emotions. 1-Pride:  By about 8:30 am I had already accomplished several things at home, including sending each of my RS presidents a reminder about ...

  Hi everybody!     Heidi's birthday is on Tuesday!   Happy birthday, dear Heidi, we all love you so much!     It's been raining here for two days now. Moose and I went for a walk yesterday evening during a slight let up, but I don't think there will be a time like that today. Tonight, Dad and I will be going to dinner with all his sibs, their spouses, and Grandma. It's to recognize the two year anniversary of Grandpa's passing (April 5th).    Well, Conference last weekend was just amazing, huh?! One of my counselors, Mari Ann Birch (Susan Crapo's sister) had heard or read a quote from President Nelson's wife, Wendy, in the 2 weeks before Conference. She had said of the upcoming conference, "don't miss a session!" Boy, she was right; each session was wonderful and sometimes downright amazing! Ministering is really just a name change, but it really does better fit the purpose of what we're trying to do. Our RS presidency had been talking ...
