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

11-22/26-8 with O.Hinds

1. Worked at the Grove. Visited folks at Rehab South, Trumann. Talked with Bennie B, Juanita/Delvin H., Francis/A.W., Audrea K., (she asked is that Irene B. from out at McCormick?), Judy F, Preston Coy and others. Marilyn L. is working out there and has a titled job now.
2. Sunday... Was at the St.E.Place at 6:15 ... Viv was having high bp., sang a couple of tunes and played for the groups. Beck called and told me of Jared B.'s death via phone. I cut the morning visits to two more homes(S>S& Craighead Nursing Home)after telling Beck that I would have the car to her by the time she was ready. Beckey met me at the door and took the Pontiac to be with Lori B., her best friend up north of Jonestown. I traded for my truck and returned to Jonesboro. Sat next to NR and listened to Bill E. teach class. Sat next to Maxine and told her of Viv's high blood pressure episode. I had called Bufe and told him to get the morning nurses to dispense Viv's bp an hour earlier. The hassle of getting ready for breakfast(make-up & all) seems to aggravate the situation. He promised to call and make the adjustment. Went on down to the grove and worked on the leaf filled yard. Fed mis animules. Yo tengo seis chivas (cinco mujeres & un billy)... este billy esta el hijo de una de mis dos "nannies" que yo he habido para 4/5 anos. yo regrese a la casa y tuve un siesta para un hora. Que mal dia para Curt/LoriBeth.
3.10- Visitation para Jared. Met several interesting folks in spite of the sad occasion. Opie White(nephew of Maylon White), Mike Glasgo(Faye knows Danny M.) Ferris H. hube me un favor de un disco..gracias hombre. Emerson's is one of the best funeral homes in this area! I know Rick and the trumpeter, Harbison, who has given me a ride in the hearse on more than one occasion back to Jonesboro after my helping with a funeral.
4. Jared's funeral at Emerson's... Burial was at Pine Log... I remember back 57 years before when we buried Grampa Knight's 2nd wife,Mary Lou Biford (Ed Biford's mother)here. Uncle Buford and his family are buried here( I know that Dola and Aunt Francis are buried here. My friend, Bill Couch, lives only a couple hundred yards down the road back to J-town. I have visited his home many times and watched his enclosed deer so many times.Bill is one of the directors of this cemetery. I am glad that Beckey baked that 20-plus pound turkey (with the brown bag recipe)and delivered it via Bobby T.'s car. Everyone was really complimentary .. about it being the very best ever. Beckey and I ate at Western Sizzling (Beckey's treat). Visitation night she treated me to a great dinner at the Mongolian Inn(what great seafood). At Kohl's Beckey and I did the Christmas Shopping.
5. 11-26-8.. After working on the trailer(northern windows) at the grove and a great talk with neighbor B.H., I dropped by KFC for a burrito. There I received a call that perpetuates my belief that there is no cure for greed and ignorance! Why leave a blind lamb to the ravages of a wild pack that now will have no fear of reprimand! Do we get so old that we are deemed insane by age only? I am reconsidering the ombudsman job that was offered to me out of Jonestown for this area!!! The wicked witch of the north may have something yet to consider.

Gerry Gwin(our Humana man) came by and explained our plans. PFFS H1804-097
is our plan numbers.. I didn't take any prescribed medicines in 2008 so my bill showed $0 usage. I told him of my purchases of over the counter meds: Omega Fish Oil, Flax seed oil, 81 aspirins and apple cider vinegar. He said that I was doing wel and to continue the free membership at the Trim Gym and the Wellness Center with the Silver Sneaker program. Beckey used a few meds and just enough to justify the program. She has one prescription that is not generic. Gerry showed her how to order the meds free when we order them by mail (at Rite Pharmacy). Humana owns that Pharmacy and the other name brand meds purchased allows them to sell the generic at no cost!
Well, it is just a week until the Hinds Reunion over at the Trumann Sports Complex! I think there are 67 that have signed up to come over and visit! Ferrell, my younger brother sent this address that has all the Bible from Genesis 1-Revelation 22 on one page. Here is the address. I am quite sure you will have to copy and paste this email address: http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/?action=getVersionInfo&vid=31

Well, I am amazed! On the published blog the above email address on the Bible chapters connects!!!
Well, I mowed the front of the Pecan Grove (16171) and Beckey picked up about 2 gallons of pecans. I went and paid my respects to Billy Wiley. I remember when Earlene and he were dating! Bill was about 6 months older than I. M. Spray was to play at his funeral. David T/Judy T are good to allow me to visit according to my schedule....

Just paid $571 on balance of GF account. Now let's get ready for 22degrees f tonight. I will turn on the gas tomorrow at the grove.

So much as gone on this week that I am just about at a loss for expression. I see ol man, George Ford, everyday. He has become quite a good friend these last few months. I watch after him and he seems to appreciate it. Today I am looking for him a pair of spectacle holders. Yesterday(Tuesday) I ate with the Bay Sr. Citizens. I sold Alan H., La Vinda C., Juanita K., and some others nearly all the Watkins that I had left from when I was an agent... I just nearly got my $ back... ha. I worked on getting Oscar in the dry... the goats pretty well have places to hole up under... seems like today... the 12th, that it just can't quit raining. The repair on my roof seems to be holding up fairly well... just a couple of leaks. Beckey has me so that I can finally shift channels on the TV... back into DVD making.... O.Hinds
