Kristi's Birthday

2010-10-23T22:24:00.000-05:00

Our precious Kristi turned the big 30 this year. The reason she got to spend her birthday with us was not a happy one because her Memaw (my Mother) passed away. I loved her being here with me during this time. I was so thankful that Kristi, Cindy and their families were able to come. I pray that this year is Kristi's happiest year yet.....We love you!!! Maybe next year you will have a real party to celebrate your birthday.

American Beautyberry- A beautiful East Texas Plant

2010-10-15T08:52:00.001-05:00

pictures by maryidakilgore

Raymond and I went to Holly Lake this week and saw these beautiful plants gorwing all over the place.There were several behind our cabin so I took some pictures.

They are American Beauty Berry:

American be...autyberry grows in rich woods and thickets in East Texas, especially in the coastal plain pinelands. It has small, unspectacular greenish-white flowers in early summer, but they are followed by clusters of beautiful purple berries clinging to the branches in late summer. American beautyberry is best suited to semi-shaded sites with some moisture. It can tolerate full sun if given supplemental watering, and can tolerate some drought, but does not do well on thin, rocky soils. Otherwise it is remarkably tolerant of various soils and habitats. It has long, arching branches, and if they are pruned by half in the winter it will be more compact. C. americana var. lactea is a white-berried variety that will come true from seed. The seeds are a favorite of many species of birds and other wildlife, so much so that they can disappear in a matter of days.
Plant Habit or Use: medium shrub
Exposure: partial sun
Of course I got this information from the TX A&M Ag web site ;0)

We went to tour my great grand parents house after my mother's furneral.

2010-10-03T18:21:00.003-05:00

The story is that Jesse James gave my grandfather a diamond to dig an escape tunnel under his house in case the police came. My grandfather checked to see if the diamond was real by marking the window pane in his house. Here you can see what looks like J uly. Up above this was his name and on the other side of the window was P H Hill. I remember my dad telling me that he also started adding his name but got caught and didn't get to finish the R. He must have started with his last name first. He was 10 years old when his grand father died.
Below is a newspaper article from the McKinney paper. You can read it...only if you make it large.

As you will be able to tell....I played with my photo editing program on some of these pictures. I had a fun time. Katelyn is such a happy little baby and is such a joy to be around. She didn't want to smile when we put her in her pretty pink dress. She was more interested in looking at Gino.

Raymond and I just got back from visiting Cindy and Matt in Hobbs. While we were there I went to a baby shower for Cindy. It was very nice. I posted pictures to Snapfish and found out how easy it is to add pictures to this site via Snapfish so I added my Christmas pictures too. I made a slide show with music but only the pictures transfered to this blogsite.
I am looking forward to ANDREW! I pray for a healthy, happy baby for Cindy and Matt.

Christmas Poem 2009 by Ralph H. Hill Jr.

2010-01-09T22:09:00.002-06:00

This Christmas there is a new generation,
New family members of this great nation.
A great-grand-daughter for Mary Hill
And a great-grand-niece for Uncle Bill.

The new little baby's name is Katelyn
With Kristi and Lex, her proud next-of-kin.
She was born on her grandma's birthday,
It won’t be long until she can run and play.

On "January One of the next decade,
There will be a big New Year's parade,
A few weeks later, the Fleharty clan,
Will surely be blessed with a new, little man.

These great-grand kids will all soon be,
Old enough to enjoy a pretty Christmas tree.
From out of town they both will come,
To show the relatives who they've become.

New traditions will be derived anew
From those started on Mt. Vernon Avenue.
Stockings by the tree, and presents galore,
Along with fond memories from days of yore.

Some I remember include: a Lionel train,
A bicycle, and even toys for the brain,
Such as a chemistry set, full of test tubes,
And chemicals and crystals shaped like cubes.

Most photos of those days cannot be found,
But the fond memories of them still abound.
As Bob Hope always used to say...
"Thanks for the memories" for that Christmas day!

2009-12-27T21:57:00.006-06:00

Raymond and I went to see Cindy and Matt in Hobbs. Cindy could not travel to Carrollton this year because she is expecing Drew next month. We are all excitied about meeting Drew next month.

On Christmas Day we drove back to Carrollton after stopping at Gwen's house for a few minutes to wish her a Merry Christmas. When we got home we went to see Memaw, Bub and Linda Kay.

On Sunday Kristi,Lex and Katelyn drove up from Lex's parents house. Shane and his family came over to see Katelyn and celebrate a Kilgore Chrismas 2009. Katelyn was the center of attention.

Merry Christmas

We took the motor home to Cooper Lake State Parke this weekend and these are a few of the things that we saw. Before I pulled out my camera I saw a deer and a red bird. So far I have seen deer and red brids at each state park that we have visited.

We went on a hike that was 6 miles long. I really enjoyed walking in the woods. It was beautiful.

OK, so I am new to doing a video. Next time I will not turn the camera side ways.

I threw some bread crumbs on the grass because I was hoping a bird or this rabbit would come and visit us again so that I could take a picture....Raymond said that " Rabbits won't eat bread crumbs" I guess he was wrong....;0)

Ode to Uncle Bill and Arlene by Uncle Bubbie

2009-05-04T08:46:00.000-05:00

Ode to Uncle Bill and Arlene
by Ralph H. Hill, Jr. (April 2009)
Uncle Bill and Arlene have come to town,
And now I will act something like a clown.
I will try to show off my juggling skills,
Or else my harmonica music with no frills.
It’s been since year two-thousand-and-six
Since they were here in the Texas mix
Suzanne and Jeremy have bought a house
And in our attic, we caught a little mouse.
Kristi and Lex are going to have a kid
And on a house they put in a bid.
Now Cindy and Matt live in New Mexico
And they are always very much on the GO.
Hopper, our good ole dog is finally gone,
Soon to be buried under our lawn.
Mary and Raymond did have a bag store,
They do not have to work there any more.
Linda Kay now works at a part time job,
And Bub has to enter work with a fob.
Jeremy is there, too, at the same workplace,
As Suzanne puts up the "Aggie Park" face.
Mary Lou's cracked pelvis is on the heal
And in her feet, she has almost no feel.
So pass on these stories from the Texas state.
That we're glad to see you, there is no debate.

We went to Mineral Wells State Park for our first adventure in our motor home.

Yesterday, Raymond and I went to Grapevine to see Patty and Larry's train display.

Grapevine was having a "Thomas and Friends" train rides for the kids and parents. The cost was $18.00 per person and the lines were very long. I am so glad that things didn't cost as much when my kids were little. WOW!

Patty and Larry have a collection of Lionel trains. Patty claims the McDonald collection.

I enjoyed seeing the trains. It reminded me of going to Lenords Department Store at Christmas time with my parents. The store had a Santa and trains for kids. It was a good memory.

My brother has a Lional Train set from the 1950s. Larry gave me a catalog that I am saving for him to look at.

Later that day I went to band practice and then to visit with my mother where an Elvis was preforming.
