My Career Milestones

That some people might call achievement awards.

So some of my future generations may give me a cheer. Continue reading

Honkytonking With Ray Price
Honkytonking With Ray Price
.
Ray Price was singing Honky Tonk with lots of “Pride”
Back in the early 1950’s in the “City Lights” on his ride.
With an “Invitation to The Blues” for us all back then,
Perhaps thinking “You Done Me Wrong” what a sin.
(This is a honkytonk tall tale with a guy and a girl as stars,
Using a Ray Price song title on every line out in a bar.
As the couple talks back and forth as they dance there.
On that honkytonk hardwood floor pretending to care.) Continue reading
Mom’s Old Art Box
Mom’s Old Art Box
.
In Kristi’s old bedroom just under the sink in there,
Sat an old cardboard box, I opened with much care.
It hasn’t been opened since we put it there 2001,
And I’ll tell you in this poem what was inside so fun. Continue reading
Posting My Blog On Facebook
Posting My Blog On Facebook

I decided a while back if I got less that ten hits so raw,
Of my blog that I posted on Facebook Pages as Hawg Jaw,
That I would no longer post my blog directly on Facebook
But for your information, you can still take a look. Continue reading
Sulphur Springs Roots
Sulphur Springs Roots
.
I found a book in the basement in a cover of blue,
Called “Sulphur Springs, Ark 1890 – 1990” so true,
Put together by the descendants of that small town,
Where my families roots went back far with much renown. Continue reading
Roy Kendrick History
Roy Kendrick History
.
I was looking through some old boxes in the basement,
When I ran across some good information as I went.
I found a write up with information Mom had provided,
About my grandfather Roy Kendrick’s life where he resided.
So I’m putting it in a blog to pass it on down the line,
To family of mine to read out there in the future sometime.
So we don’t lose track of the man that raised my mother,
As he surely loved all his children and wife like no other. Continue reading
Good Brown Beans
Good Brown Beans
.
It was now Sunday morning and my turn to cook,
As I sat there in my easy chair giving my iPad a look,
Pam got up and then ask me “Bill, what’s for dinner,”
So I told her Good Brown Beans as they are a winner. Continue reading
August Bigheads
August Bigheads
.
My Granddaughter Sarah bought me two more pads,
To draw new Bighead toons so I wouldn’t be sad,
And I could continue to expel memories from my brain.
By drawing them in toon sketches to keep me sane. Continue reading

More Places We Danced

The Misques had been dancing together a while now,
And we were still going more places as time did allow.
We learned many new dances, learning more all the time,
As we continued to improve our program, now so fine. Continue reading

During the time we did exhibition clog dances so fun,
With Misques And The Cuties always on the run,
We traveled to many places to show off our dancing troop,
I will discuss some of the places we danced in our group. Continue reading
