Waiting for the new baby.

Cindy and Kristi went to see Memaw after the family shower.

Getting ready for the new baby.

I have taken a lot of pictures of the showers and at Kristi's house getting the room ready for the new baby.
I only posted a few pictures to Flickr and I am adding the link to those pictures here. I will try to add more pictures later on.

Here is the link to the family shower:

Ode to Uncle Bill and Arlene by Uncle Bubbie

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.

Bill and Arlene came for a visit April 21, 2009

Uncle Bill suggested that I take a picture of their feet....
so I did....


Bill and Mary Lou (brother and sister) have a nice visit.

Texas Easter Bluebonnets

I took these pictures on the way to Hobbs to see Cindy and

Matt for Easter. We had a really nice time.

The Easter Bunny even left some candy on my pillow

;0)

Happy Easter

This is retirement....

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.

Happy Birthday Allen Shane Kilgore

Happy Anniversary Kristi and Lex
