O.Hinds Jan-Feb 6, 09

12/4-19/08 with O.Hinds

The tree that is shading the red car was cut this week. This is a picture of the vacant lot at 216 Speedway, Trumann, AR. Among others the Youngs lived next door back in the 40s and 50s. So many things happened here!

1. Went over some communication terms with grandson, Stephen. He has his finals for this semester yesterday and today. He is a 10th grader. Mark is a 7th grader and has played football this year.


2. Sunday the 12th I skipped my visiting in Jonesboro and drove behind Sarah/Landon Hope to Stateline RD C of C and visited with Ira's family. We ate at Logan's Steak House... really good! We went on back to Van/Diana's and had a great time visiting a part of our family that I generally miss. I had called Viv and left a message for Maxine about my plans.


3. Well, it is Friday,the 19th, before our family Christmas "get-to-gether." Strange how this gets around a bit quicker each year.


4. Will make my rounds in T-town and then be back early.

Sunday-Monday past reunion-12-1-8

Now brother Terrell is gesturing to Willis, Theresa and Mary Ann. Vivian,Debbie and Beckey are talking and Connie is pecking on her computer. We all(some 70 of us) were at the Sports Complex in Trumann, AR.

Now Marianne Hinds and I went to the first level of this the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Derrick Hinds went on up to the top! It has a great view and one can see the only natural hill where the Sacred Heart Church is built. However this group of O.Hinds and siblings were just superimposed by a niece at the base of said tower. The picture was made on the 11-29-08.

I played the music for this wedding. It was the Wedding March and as far as I know, it was the first time that instrumental music had ever been played in the building at the Pine and Cedar C of C.

I believe this picture has been enlarged more than it can bear... makes me laugh. I think that I was designed to slip over a tea cup and here I am being stretched over a barrel and I think that I feel a rip!!!! Ha!

Well, visited my dear friends when Sister Viv is. Clarence H. held on to my hand and we talked of the old quartets... I started "Life's Evening Sun" and he did the bass along with a few others and I put in some soprano and some alto with some others. He is Jr. Higgins dad. His mind is still very sharp. I visited William G. at Skill care and put bread in his bird feeder. Gertie Mills Skaggs tells me she can show me the house where her grandmother(my Aunt Emma Knight) lived. She said that Joe and Eula often visited there. (had to be previous to Michigan home with Aunt Dove)... Saw Gene B. had nurse clean him up and get that breathing mask over that tracheotomy opening. She thanked me... I am there every Sun morn about 8:00-8:30... saw Ed Watson.. told him I had just talked with JR. Isbell at SC... Many times I am a messenger boy..ha. Saw Stoney Busby's widow at SC and told her "hello" from Lorene Sharp(Orville Sharp's widow)... both Munri Cristy Busby and Lorene Charger Sharp are widows of former Trumann policeman.

Hinds Reunion November 29,2008

OOPPS!!! That was just 53 years ago.. same folks!

New Testament on a page... Check it Out!

I chose Matthew 5:8-11. Here is what the text looked like. "8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. 10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

Thanksgiving,2008 with Oliver

Started my day at McDonalds. Alvin B. dropped by and we talked and then Harold P. sat down. Allen, Redden, Red L. and son, Steve Qualls (a former student) were there just briefly. Most everyone is having family over for Thanksgiving. Stayed an hour or so and talked with Gene/wife from Alaska. Saw Billy, Alicia & Preston ..gave them another hat for a third daughter. On to the Grove ... burned the cardboard boxes(quite an accumulation)... then poured water on the smoking aftermath. Fed mis animules y picked up a lot of things for the Beck. Oh, bought that $8 doorbuster bargain at the $ Store. It was a pair of black Wrangler levis (36/30s)... bought peaches (5 cans at 99cents each). Beckey has turkey/dressing/potatoes, rolls & brown gravy ready. Took, Bobby W., a neighbor a plate. Visited with D. Lawrence and Luis Moreno.

Worked on Facebook... changed profile photo to the one of me and the Emu Claws... indeed the emus did taste and look like an overgrown Turkey! Here is the photo: Look to the top.

I rather enjoy writing this blog. Thanks to Paul Nichols of Wynne for telling me about this site.

Christmas letters to friends by O.Hinds

16171 Pecan Grove
Trumann, AR
11-26-8
Dear Lugnani family,
Hace muchos anos que yo trato usar mi espanol! Aquilio & Lilianna, ustedes estan siempre en mi memoria cuando yo estoy en mi propiedad del Pecan Grove. Esta Patrizia con Harry ya? Esta Sabrina pintando como siempre sus trabajos del are? Esta Fiametta casado con el hijo del gran general que yo tuve el favor de visitando un noche in 1990? Esta Roberto trabajando con sus propiedad abajo del gran interstate? Yo puedo recordar el hermano(y su marida) de Lilianna que me invitado a su casa. La mama de Lilianna fue viviendo a este tiempo tambien.
Su familia estaran en mi corazon siempre! Mi amigo Hightower continua a vivir en su propiedad que el compre de usted. El esta el dueno del un restaurante y es un gran vecino. La ciudad crece a lado del su propiedad. Y ahora hay un gran Sports Complex en los hectares directamente norte del nuestros propiedad! Para us section como nuestros la ciudad de Trumann pague $54,000.00 for este tierra(150x600 ft..muy similar a nuestros propiedad). Yo sabia que el propiedad estaran precioso, pero es para nuestros chicos a realizar el profit! Mi hijo, Joe Derrick y su mujer han comprado el section sur de mi propied (que fue a lado a su former propiedad) y el tambien compro 7 acres al oeste del nuestros propiedad. El esta construyendo Mini-storage edificios para rentar. Marianne and Derrick tiene 76 units en Highway 63 and 43 mas detras nuesto propedad (a donde el lago or pond fue). Wal-Mart compre el propiedad directament al oeste de su propiedad y un gran Interstate es en frente de Wal-Mart! !Es incredible que el futuro de Trumann estaran muy cerca del Pecan Grove!
Well, I will try my English now!! Beckey and I want to wish you the finest Christmas ever! God's Blessing on all the Lugnanis and friends that make my visits of 1987 and 1990 so memorable!!!!
We love you..... Beckcy and Oliver Hinds
