Humphries Family History

Dear all,    I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving...we sure did!  Wednesday morning, we decided to take the pickup instead of the car, because the weather forecast sounded pretty bad. So we got away by about 8, but weren't able to go very fast, and we saw lots of cars, pickups, and semi's off the road, but your Dad just kept on keeping on...and we got to Coeur d'Alene that evening, and met Heidi and the kids in time to have supper together. We went to Golden Corral for supper, then we checked in to the Days Inn, where we had adjoining rooms. The next morning we had breakfast, and then headed for Moscow!  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving there. Aimee made rolls that were amazing, and she did mashed potatoes, Stephen carved the turkey, Kathy Mobley did the sweet potatoes, and the gravy...everyone helped with cooking and cleanup, and it was great. I had brought 2 peach pies, and 3 pumpking pies.    Heidi got to talk to Kevin at some point, and found out th...

They're going to change the timing belt and the water pump.     At work a week ago Friday, we had a potluck lunch, and I made some cornbread muffins to go along with the chili. I made 3 dozen, and only about half of them got eaten. So I asked one of our interns (a college girl) if she would want to take them home to share with her roommates. She had really liked them and said yes.  The following Monday she told me how one of her roommates who usually has a lot of trouble with her stomach was able to eat them and was so pleased!  I gave her the recipe and she was...

Dear Everybody,    Grandpa told us the other night about when he got out of the Army; his superior officer was surprised he was getting out, and said, "I thought you were a career man when I first saw you." Then a year or two later he saw that man again, and when he saw Grandpa he thought he was with the FBI, but Grandpa told him he was on a mission. The man said "Training for the Priesthood?," and Grandpa said, "No, I brought that with me." :)    For FHE last Monday, we talked about family history. I read a story from the life history of James Humphries, Grandpa's great-grandpa. He was the one who migrated to the US by way of Australia and the Sandwich Islands. Then Grandma and I worked on Family Search for a few minutes. I was able to get our connection with Great-Grandma Humphries fixed...I hadn't been able to enter her for some reason.  Then we looked at pictures on the Humphries side, and then at pictures on the Christensen side.  There was ...
