Humphries Family History

  Dear everybody,    Today would have been my Daddy's 91st birthday. This evening, a group of us met at the Parker cemetery, left flowers, and visited for a bit before it started raining.       This week, instead of a living off the land type of book, I'm reading Man's Search For Meaning, by Viktor E Frankl. I often avoid studying holocaust history, but this was recommended by a friend at work and I really am enjoying it and learning a lot. Much of what he tells about the effects of prison camp life has helped me understand a character in the Children of the Promise series, and how he survived the prison camp in Korea.     Cody Atkinson passed away on Thursday.  She and her husband, David, were friends of ours in St. Anthony 2nd Ward, and our families knew each other for many years before that.

  Hey Everyone-   Summer is quickly approaching - wanted to drop a quick note to each of you outlining our plans the week we will be in Idaho this coming July. We are VERY much looking forward to seeing everyone and spending as much time as possible with each of you!

Communicating our plans to each of you is most of all an FYI, but can also serve as a way that we can potentially line up our plans to maximize our time together as a group. Some things are set in stone, and some things we can be flexible with.   Saturday July 20 th : We will be arriving in the Egin area sometime in the afternoon, as we will be making the short drive up from SLC.   Sunday: Attend church at Egin Bench and then prepare to leave for Kilgore in the afternoon to set up camp.   Monday: Camping in Kilgore   Tuesday: Camping in Kilgore. We will play...

  Hi Everybody,   Anne will be 17 next Saturday! Good grief . . . where have those years gone!? I can picture you, Anne, a tiny baby at Ben's and Lynsey's wedding. And now I hear your prom date is on your birthday! I'll be looking forward to seeing pictures next week.    I had a wonderful Mother's Day, and I hope you all did too. I got to talk with all of my kids, except Aimee, and I plan to call you back, Aimee, later today. Dad made a wonderful lunch, we had company (John, Janie, Jocie); we celebrated Janie's birthday and Mother's Day and enjoyed salmon, shrimp, mashed potatoes, etc. Jake stopped by later in the evening. Jim was not feeling well, but called to wish Gran a good day. I must admit that he and Jake weren't invited to our lunch. I allowed my worries about who gets along with who to cloud my judgement. I would normally invite all my siblings, but I was trying to be too careful and in the process may have hurt the feelings of some. I hope to do b...
