Humphries Family History

  I was working on family history this evening and came across this visa application. Dad didn't remember seeing it before. I added it to his Memories section on Family Search, and thought you all would like to see it.  Proof I had hair once!  Looks like I was in need of a haircut.  I obviously had seen this as my signature is on there but I do not remember it.  This would have been around the time I left the LTM for Washington D.C. I love this! Thanks so much for sharing, Mom! ~ Heidi Hi Everyone, Thanks for the evidence of Dad's hair Mom.  I do remember it but as with my own hair, it's been a while since it had much impact on the world. :)   The month of February was super busy and fun for us.  Lot's of regular and extra work for me so with that I've hit 200,000 miles on our van.  Definitely a milestone, but as many of you know those Honda's can do much more.   Lynsey organized and ran one of the dances at Joseph's schoo...

Dear everybody,    Happy birthday Naomi, dear! 13 years old tomorrow! We all love you so much! Have a wonderful day.     It's been nice walking weather, for the most part. It gets into the high 20's and once we get to the main road there's not much snow or ice on the road. A scarf, hat and gloves make it really nice. And listening to a good book while I walk is enjoyable too. Right now I'm listening to To Kill a Mockingbird. Not sure how many times I've read or listened to it. Probably about the same number of times I've watched the movie.     Today in Sacrament meeting, the High Councilman speaker was Alvin Winegar; he is also Dad's head Jailer, and his family lives around the corner from us. I think everyone there got a lot from it. The one quote he used that stuck with me was from Elder Ballard, who said, "It's more important to prepare the messenger, than it is to prepare the message."     Dad and I went out to dinner last night...

  Hi everybody!     Just a brief review of January: 4- We cleaned the church today, with Daris and Donna Howard. 6- Gran, Jocie, Jane, John and I went to Jim Hamilton's funeral. Our families have been friends since we moved in across from Jim and Marion in about 1965. He was born in 1928, like Granddad. 7- Gran's and Granddad's 70th anniversary! 15- While studying 1 Nephi 7, I came to "how is it that ye have forgotten . . .?" and was amazed all over again that Laman and Lemuel could forget lessons they had learned multiple times. But as I studied I recognized the same weakness in myself. I forget that I should limit sugar . . . for MANY reasons. But still, I have to learn it over and over again. It's always interesting to me how many times the word Remember is used in the scriptures . . . and sometimes even remember, remember! The scriptures really were written for me. :)  16- Gran, Jocie and I went to Valeri Moses' funeral today. She is Jennifer's mot...

  Hi Everyone,   Since we all have some history here I thought I would share this with you.  The River Mile is a redevelopment plan for  the land where Elitch Gardens currently is that is projected to take 25 years to complete.  Funny since it's only been there for about 25 years...  The theme park will continue to function through the first phase of construction (which will be where the parking lots are currently) and will then be moved to a new location on the east side of Denver. The video link below tells some of the story and the articles are interesting if you want to read up on more details.     https://vimeo.com/386830660   https://denverinfill.com/blog/ 2018/03/introducing-the-river- mile.html/comment-page-1    This article is from 2018, but the pictures of Denver through the years are worth seeing.   https://www.5280.com/2020/01/ inside-one-of-the-largest- redevelopments-in-denvers- history/?fbclid= IwAR0HZmuDK7g...

  Hi everybody,    Last family letter of 2019!  Thank you all for the cards, gifts, and calls during this Christmas season. Dad and I both really appreciate it. Yesterday, at Ben's encouragement, we went to see the last Star Wars movie. It was very good, but the thing that I'll remember most is that at the beginning, as the introductory words scrolled away, we could both remember so clearly when we saw the first Star Wars together on our first date in 1977. We even remembered how we had been sitting. I had been on his left, but of course now that my left ear is my good ear, I usually sit on his right, so I can hear when he talks to me. Oh, what 42 years brings! He's been so patient about my hearing.     Christmas day was nice. We had Randy and Syndee Walton over. They came early enough so she could help me with the potatoes, setting the table, etc. We had such a great time together. They stayed about 3 hours, then I took a nap. Dad and I had decid...
