Every winter, one of the biggest
challenges for the Humphrey family was "Getting up the Hill"
Remember that cozy home you saw on the home
page? For over 50 years we had to drive up and down the hill
to get to it. Summer, Spring and Fall were no problem, but can
you imagine the fun we had during the Winter? The last landlord
we had made some significant improvements to "the
hill". This picture really doesn't give you a good idea
of what we had to deal with each year.
During snow, sleet, or ice storms you can imagine how fun it
was getting to and from our house.
Though not present now, sand barrels were at the bottom of the
hill on an annual basis.

All of us were
within walking distance of Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School,

We lived in this house for about 57 years.
To this day, my mother remembers our first landlord planting
the seeds for this "baby" tree.

home.
Although we had terrible weather at times,
the tree never effected the house, and sometimes
protected us.
