Humphries Family History

  Dear family, Monday 22nd Work. I have gotten into the habit of playing Solitaire on my laptop in the evenings, to unwind. But even though it's fun, it isn't satisfying and I feel like I'm wasting my time.  I remembered how much I used to enjoy Indexing, so I started again and it accomplishes the same unwind I need, and also helps me get my mind off myself. It's fun to learn about people who lived years ago.  For a few days I have had an old Carpenters song,  Sometimes , in my mind. I found a video of it that I'd like to share with you all, but I can't figure out how to do it. So Ben is going to send it to you instead.  Thank you, Ben. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.  Tuesday 23rd  Work and physical therapy. This evening we had RS presidency meeting and it was extra good.  Wednesday 24th Work.  I'm really feeling like the new position I have at work is making a difference. The processes are smoothing out and I think everybody...

  Dear family,     April 11-15 The morning of the 11th, I drove to Meridian and got to spend the next few days with Aimee, Heidi, and Dixie. We had a wonderful time, shopping, working a puzzle, watching movies, and we got to do Initiatory work at the Boise Temple. I hadn't been to that Temple in many years, and I'd forgotten how beautiful it is inside. We did a lot of talking, and laughing . . . it was so nice. The only thing that would have made it perfect is if Lynsey and Natalie could have come too.  We'll try again next year. Thank you to James, Kevin, and Zach for making it possible for us to have this weekend.     The 14th, Len came and stayed with us; it was so nice to have him there. Aimee headed home that same day. Then on the 15th, I headed home and Len went to Lewiston for meetings. He got to stop in Moscow to see the Mobley's one evening.     April 16-19 Back to work for me; it always takes a day or two to catch up after bein...

Hi Everyone, Monday:  My wonderful troubled right knee is not feeling great today.  I went to see my physical therapist and he worked on me for a bit then taped me up.  I think I pushed it a little too hard keeping up with Joseph and Brad on the ski slopes.   Joseph had a field trip today at School.  They went to the ropes course at Philip S. Miller Park in Castle Rock. Lynsey went hiking at South Valley Park with Jennifer Jones.  She's also one of the school nurses at Josephs school. Joseph has a school assignment to interview a family member about their experiences growing up and he asked Gran and conducted the interview on Monday night.  It was wonderful hearing some stories from when she was a child and teenager.  I also asked her to tell some of her experience from when she traveled to England several years ago and all of the places she's lived in her life.  I did record the conversation and have that saved. Tuesday: ...

  Monday: work.  New scripture to ponderize . . . Just the last part of 1 Nephi 19:23 ". . . for I did liken all scriptures unto us, that it might be for our profit and learning."  Tuesday: stomach problems, didn't go to work. Maybe my gallbladder? This evening, Len and I are getting caught up on Call the Midwife . . . as much as Netflix has anyway.  Wednesday: work. Made and appointment with my doctor (nurse practitioner), Becky Jeppson, for next Monday. Hopefully she can help me figure out what's going on with my health! :) That's also the day I go see Dr. Eysser to find out if I'm ready to be without the knee immobilizer and start physical therapy. With two doctor appointments, I'll probably need to work into the evening.  Thursday: I went to the viewing for Jim Wood after work. He and his wife Laverna, were our neighbors when I was a kid growing up on South 2nd East, in Rexburg. Laverna passed away years ago. She was a good woman. Their son, Steve, is ...
