There was no Porter Wal-Mart or Kroger store on site-
Or any traffic, in which to fight.
.
Instead where the Dollar stands, along with the other stores-
A sawmill was buzzing, that opened up so many doors.
.
Providing for the people, who first came to East Montgomery County-
Life, back in those days, were as simple as they could be.
.
Simple, but not easy, "as it supposedly", is today-
People back then, just lived life in another way.
.
Working the land, and trying to provide-
Going to a little school, and partaking in a hay ride.
.
Appreciating what one had-
And when they got it, they were glad.
.
Burying their dead, on the land where they lived and sweated-
As a great history lesson, to those who have gone before, we
are much indebted.
.
Those days are gone, and we've now become so sophisticated-
With our worldly things and thoughts, that tend to be continually debated.
.
But let's step back for a moment, when we looked around-
And miles and miles of forests, is what was found.
.
When Sunday, was the time, to put everything away-
For it was a day of rest, and we were serious, when we called it God's Day.
.
When the children could go in the forest to play-
Without the thought of being done wrong, or taken away.
.
When Mama or Grandma would take the time to bake-
Otherwise, there would have been no pie or cake.
.
When Daddy handmade the little girls a Little East Montgomery County Doll-
Or the boys, whatever he could, so that they could play ball.
.
The time seems so far away, but in a flash one can step back, and I
can't wait-
To attend the Texas Sawmill Festival for 2008.
.
The East Montgomery County Historical Society will be there-
With many historical facts, and pictures to share.
.
Jerry Gay, will be found-
Creating a realistic old fashioned town.
.
Our East Montgomery Towns Book will be for sale-
Filled with local history, and will satisfy, our local residents without fail.
.
Kay Lynn Dawes and Gerrie Dickens have indexed the Enloe Cemetery,
and are working on other ones too-
Preserving history, is a goal that is being implemented, through and
through.
.
Enloe cemetery has ancestors starting back from the 1860's, a sacred
ground-
With many of their offspring in the area, generation after generation,
still around.
.
Back in the days, when at FM 1314 and Highway 59, there was no
rush-
Just a buzzing all day at the sawmill, until the night, when there was
a breathtaking hush.
.
Families tucked in bed, preparing for another day-
Living life in East Montgomery County, the old fashioned way.

Three Ways To Tell That The School Stage Program Went Well
Three ways to tell that the school stage program went well:
1. The audience showed up on time, and the show ran
smoothly.
2. The children were cute and sang their songs well.
3. You took enough pictures and video, of your child, to
spend the rest of your life pondering over it again
and again.
===========================================
The show always has more shine-
When a child walks out, and you think, that one is mine.
.
.
Three types of letters to compose:
1. A business letter.
2. A pen-pal letter.
3. A personal letter to leave to your children that
gives your feelings about the life you had, and
quite a few details from whence you came.

Letters that will endure-
Letters to be read by the future.

Three Good Things To Come From That Disgusting Act Done By Those Horrible Grave Robbers
Three good things to come from that disgusting act done by those horrible grave robbers:
1. They were caught.
2. The cemetery has been brought to light.
3. Jones of Grace Church of Humble is going to restore the cemetery.
====================================================================
At the least-
May they rest in peace.
.
.
Three reasons that the City of Houston got involved in sponsoring, Lights Out Houston, last month:
1. To raise awareness of conservation for buildings and homeowners.
2. To hopefully, help along, this becoming a yearly event.
3. To offset the Houston Pavilions, let there be more light theme, which is opening in the fall.
=====================================================================
Turning off that home bathroom light will aid-
and offset, the brightly lit signs up to 80 feet off the ground,
whose plans are now being laid.
.
.
Three Reasons to vote:
1. It is our civil duty.
2. Many fought and died, in order, to ensure, that we can.
3. How else could we come to the conclusion, as to who will be the next American Idol.
=====================================================================
The voting process-
At it's best.

Three Ways To Honor Our World War II Veterans
Three ways to honor our World War II Veterans:
1. Cook breakfast for them.
2. Put on a special Veteran's Day show for them.
3. Fly them expense free to Washington D. C., to see the
World War II Memorial.
================================================
Lone Star Honor Flight's inaugural trip will be the memorable one-
Thanks to a Montgomery Junior High School's teacher, who
took the time, to see that the details for the program, were taken care of and done.
.
.
Three forms of child abuse:
1. Mental.
2. Physical.
3. Parental dreams.
========================================
In this competitive world, what the parent did not acrue-
Is unmercifully pushed, on the child, to follow through.
.
.
Three things that are busier than bees:
1. Fire ants.
2. Carpenter ants.
3. Crazy ants.
======================================
Not the typical ant that forms a line-
For obviously these little pests have their own mind.

Three Things That Are Sure To Rise In The Morning
Three things that are sure to rise in the morning:
1. The sun.
2. The schoolchildren, to catch the bus.
3. The gas prices.
==================================
Just as sure as the sun will rise-
The higher gas prices will be no surprise.
.
.
Three songs that depict todays's gas prices:
1. "Higher and Higher". (The prices continue to go.)
2. "Baby You Can Drive My Car". (But, bring it back, with the needle on full.)
3. "Running on Empty". (And wondering where my next fill-up will come from.)
=====================================================
"Song Sung Blue"-
Despise those climbing gas prices, I really do.
.
.
Three things that can cause traffic jams:
1. A wreck.
2. A flat tire.
3. A united thought by drivers, to head to that one gas station, at the same time, that has the lowest gas prices.

A sudden line-
Due to a low gas find.

Three Examples Of A Little Math On The Latest Postage Stamp Increase
Three examples of a little math on the latest postage stamp increase:
1. In 1985, the postage stamp was 22 cents.
2. Ten years later in 1995, the postage stamp was 32 cents.
3. Ten more years later in 2005, the postage stamp was only 37
cents.
==============================================
It took another three years, to average out to that extra ten-
And to think, that we don't realize, that we do, get a bargain,
every now and then.
.
.
Three reasons that I am glad that Mr. Isidor Ybarra Jr., was re-elected to the East Montgomery County Improvement District, board of directors, Position 2:
1. He is well qualified.
2. He ran a good race.
3. I've seen him stop and speak with the
"regular" people in the community.
=============================================
To truly represent-
Time with the people,
should be spent.
.
.
Three reasons to get a good nights sleep:
1. It's good for your health.
2. It's great for your beauty.
3. Other lives may depend upon it.

On the road it's hard to take control-
When that sleep deprivation, begins to
take hold.

Three reasons that we should be so happy that
we have been blasted with political rhetoric for
the upcoming election in 2009:
1. We can't get enough of politics.
2. It's never too early.
3. It gives us a better chance of not
thinking about today.

don't seem to mind-
For all we are interested in is the election
in 2009.
.
.
Three things in life that go astray:
1 New Year resolutions.
2. Cats.
3. Grocery store baskets.
===============================
Past the parking lot, and sometimes all
the way to home-
Those in store carriers, tend to roam.
.
.
Three places one might see an old fashioned
bonnet:
1. On Little House of the Prairie.
2. In a story book.
3. At Sawmill Festival 2008.

The East Montgomery County Historical Society-
Knows how to sport the way that history really used to be.

Three Recreational Sports
Three recreational sports:
1. Baseball.
2. Football.
3. Disc Golf.
===========================================
Since 1975, and the invention of the disc pole-
The sport with 3,000,000 plus regular players, and
30,000 professional players, has taken hold.
.
.
Three examples of the word creep:
1. AN ANNOYING OR UNPLEASANT PERSON.
2. TO MOVE WITH THE BODY CLOSE TO THE GROUND, AS ON HANDS AND KNEES.
3. THE SLOW PROCESS IN WHICH THE GAS PRICES CONTINUE TO SPIRAL UPWARD.
=================================================
NOT FAST AS IN THE PAST-
BUT A SLOW, CRUEL CLIMB THAT CONTINUES TO AMASS!
.
.
Three types of dinosaurs:
1. Trachodon.
2. Tyrannosaurus Rex.
3. The written check.
=========================================
Electronic is the way to go-
But some still want to hang on, cause it is the way
that they know.

Day celebration:

Three Reasons That We Need To Locate And Document Some Of Our Older Lost Cemeteries
Three reasons that we need to locate and document some of our older, lost cemeteries:
1. To preserve history.
2. To have reverence for the dead.
3. To offset vandalism and the digging up of graves, by those who have nothing better to do.
=========================================
Many black soldiers killed during World War I and World
War II-
Lost and buried in a cemetery, that recently has been
gone through.
.
.
Three steps to making a political voting decision:
1. Have all the facts in front of you.
2. Weigh heavily on all sides of the facts
in front of you.
3. Balance any final decisions against the
amount of contributions that have been
received.
======================================
Decision making at its best-
Includes fact vs. donation, in
order to pass the test.
.
.
Three things that you never expect:
1. Bonuses.
2. Courtesy on the road.
3. Sinkholes.
===================================
And in Liberty County, it was quite a surprise-
And to the surrounding area, especially on the
size.

Splendora Founder's Day 2008
At the junction of U.S. Hwy 59 and Farm Road 2090-
Is a little town, called Splendora, that is not
as small as it used to be.
On the Southern Pacific railroad, six miles
north of New Caney, and twenty-two miles
from Conroe-
It has that little town atmosphere, that we'd
all like to get to know.
In the late 1800's Cox's Switch, is the name
that it used to go by, as it caused quite a
stir-
For Charles Cox, is the one who was
responsible for getting the Houston, East
and West Railway to extend a narrow gauge
spur.
In 1896 Charles Cox, asked the first Postmaster,
M.S. King, to rename the town-
And because of the thoughts of "splendor of it's
floral environment," the name of Splendora
happened to come around.
Back to 1895, the Green Leaf Church building was
used as a school-
Until 1913, when a two room school, that accomodated
50 students, was built brand new, so that they could
properly learn the golden rule.
1936 was the year that it was partially burned-
But the following year the tides appeared to have
turned.
For a new brick school building was constructed,
and as time went by-
In 1981, it was being used to school the Junior
High.
In the 1940's the school system became an
independent school district all on its own-
The incorporation of the town in 1966,
attested to the fact, that it had grown.
And today still growing as it gets closer and closer to Houston-
With plenty of little town living, that still needs
to be done.
One organization, the Splendora Founder's
Day Society, was formed in 1981-
To help acknowledge the deep rooted history,
and to organize and oversee all the celebration
and family fun.
.
This weekend, the town will be celebrating
Founder's Day, with much pride-
With a parade, a Fun Run, a BBQ cook off, and so many other activities, on the side.
A benefit for the community as a whole-
As the annual celebration continues to unfold.
May 9 and 10, the celebration will take place-
As the residents gather, to reflect, have fun,
and re-live, life, at a slow pace.
The East Montgomery County Historical Society will be there-
With plenty of pictures from the past, to exhibit and share.
A grand celebration of the town of Splendora as it should be-
A precious town, deep in the heart of East
Montgomery County.

Three Ways To Get To Work Quicker
Three ways to get to work quicker:
1. Get up earlier.
2. Leave earlier.
3. Leave late and cut in front of every car that you see.
==========================================
And wait with them at the next red light-
With the realization that the rudeness,
eventually made worse your plight.
.
.
Three places you might find run down living conditions:
1. In the inner cities.
2. In third world countries.
3. Where our soldiers reside.
===========================================
It has been found-
That many of their barracks
are run down.
.
.
Three happenings this weekend:
1. 90 degree weather.
2. Mother's Day.
3. Splendora Founder's Day.
=========================================================
The perfect setting in order to spend-

Three Reasons Not To Vote For John McCain
Three reasons not to vote for John McCain:
1. He's too qualified.
2. He has too much military experience.
3. He has no family connections.
==========================================
He wasn't good enough for the Republicans the first time
around-
So no need to bother with him on the rebound.
.
.
Three ways to correctly turn on a street corner:
1. Put your signal on.
2. Slow down.
3. Turn within a reasonable amount of time.
===========================================
And while in the process-
Ignore the honking behind
you, at best.
.
.
Three ways to get health insurance:
1. Work full time for a company.
2. Buy privately.
3. Work part time, but receive full health benefits.
===========================================
Available to some members of the Texas House-
Making one wonder if if wasn't also available for the spouse.

Three Ways To Document History To Be Readily Used In The Future
Three ways to document history to be readily used in the future:
1. Create a time capsule as the R.B. Tullis Library
in East Montgomery County has done.
2. File some papers at home.
3. Index a local cemetery.
=======================================
Enloe Cemetery, in Porter, has been indexed, and is
for sale, by the East Montgomery County Historical
Society-
Consisting of local family history, dating back to the 1860's, for future generations to treasure and see.
.
.
Three ways to get along in the world:
1. Be nice.
2. Be courteous.
3. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
=======================================
I could see the majority, of social problems, heading for the shelves-
If we treated all, as we prefer, for ourselves.
.
.
Three things that I miss:
1. The editorial section of the defunct Houston
Post.
2. Real cherry cokes at the drugstore.
3. Charlene Butts, of East Montgomery County, who
passed away last month.
=========================================
A gracious, interesting, and sweet person
I'd like to note-
A lady, who never held back, whenever, or
with whatever, she wrote.
.
Three reasons that some talk shows are different than others:
1. Some have interesting topics.
2. Some have helpful topics.
3. Some go too far for high ratings.
=============================================
Bailing out one of those teens who was involved in beating
that teen on videotape, can make one sick-
Making one to realize that the show can be turned off
suddenly with one click.
.
.
Three to blame for the beating:
1. You Tube.
2. The neighborhood.
3. The criminals, themselves.
==========================================
Oh, my gosh! How can we actually blame-
The actual folks from whence the violence came?
.
.
Three things to do regarding the unfortunate videotaped beating:
1. Pacify the beaters.
2. Bring in the experts to divide up the blame.
3. Remember the victim.
===================================================
In our society it is hard to blame-
As we continue to play the non-responsibility game.
.
Three ways to know that you are making good grades:
1. You smile when you accomplish each task.
2. An official report says so.

Sports the name of Courtney Emerson, from Porter, TX, of East
Montgomery County.
.
.
Three things going on at the VFW Hall in Porter next weekend:
1. Bingo.

3. A singer who lived in Porter, for many years.

Roy Head, of 'Treat Her Right,' fame, with a possible
chance-
Of a visit by, his son, Sundance.
.
.
Three examples of discovering something new:
1. A flower blooms.
2. A baby animal is born.
3. There are new pics of Elvis that have never been
seen before.

With one of them posted on a three story billboard,
in New York, of the first class act.

2. Any Mardi Gras parade.
3. The Boat Parade at the Woodlands Waterway
Arts Festival.

Collectively depicting an artists' dream.
.
.
Three large numbers:
1. Grains of sand on the beach.
2. Profits made by the oil companies.
3. Catholics around the world.
===================================
And in this country, we welcome Pope Benedict
XVI-
Where in Washington D.C., and New York, he
will be seen.
.
.
Three notes about all of this airplane merger talk:
1. Northwest is merging with Delta.
2. Continental may merge with someone else.
3. The consumer choice is going down.
======================================
Before the merging is over and through-
We'll be left with just one airline or two.
.
Three mentionable things about East Montgomery County:
1. We have a rich history.
2. We are preserving that history, through
the East Montgomery Historical Society.

Three things that one can do with peanut butter:
1. Make a sandwich.
2. Spread it on crackers.
3, Win a million dollars through the 43rd Pilsbury Bake-Off.
==========================================
And that is exactly how, for a 59 year old homemaker, the situation, did pan-
With her Double-Delight peanut butter cookies, produced at her home, in Maryland.
.
.
Three things to do while passing a school zone:
1. Slow down.
2. Look for the children.
3. Continue yapping to Aunt Betty about something
that could wait til later.
==========================================
That's what a lot of folks want to continue to do-
As they are driving through.
.
Three peaceful places in Montgomery County:
1. Your own home.
2. Any park.
3. The amphitheater hill at the Village of Creekside Park in the Woodlands.
========================================================
The scenery is set by a bluebonnet field and more-
With fresh air, and a beautiful setting at its' core.
.
.
Three places where the prices are rising:
1. At the gas pump.
2. At the utility company.
3. At Wal-mart.
======================================================
A few cents here-
And a few more cents there.
.
.
Three things that are plentiful in Mexico:
1. Tacos.
2. Historical sites.
3. Bribes.
================================================
2.58 billion, to be exact, more than ever-
Politicians participating in this endeavor.
.
.
Three things that are 10 years old:
1. Many children.
2. The BBC launch to the United States.
3. Lone Star College-University Center.
=======================================
Partnering with Prairie View A&M, Sam Houston State, Texas A&M, Texas Southern, University of Houston and UH Downtown-
Where 65 different degree programs can be found.
.
.
Three hazards of going to jail:
1. Loss of freedom.
2. Minimum choice for dinner.
3. Chickenpox.
=============================
A real break-out-
With much itching, no doubt.

Three things about senior adults wearing diapers:
1. It is more common than ever.

Three Ways To Record History The Proper Way
Three ways to record history the proper way:
1. Photo.
2. Written.
3. Oral.
=====================================
On May 13th, 6:30pm-9:30pm, a professor from the
Institute for Oral History at Baylor University-
Will teach how to take oral histories, at the Porter
Fire Department, on Loop 494, at the regular meeting,
for the East Montgomery County Historical Society.
.
.
Three places to get held up:
1. At a gas station.
2. At an ATM machine.
3. At any airport.
==============================
On any given day-
There is that unwanted delay.
.
.
Three reasons to close the park:
1. Renovation.
2. It is dark.
3. Volcanic action.
=================================
With the eruption, in Hawaii, of a nearby volcano-
It's time to close shop, and get ready to go.

Three examples of royalty:
1. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

3. Virginia and Martin Anderson of Willis, Texas.
======================================
At the Montgomery County Fair and Rodeo, during
Senior Citizens Day-
The special couple were crowned, king and queen,
after much applause got underway.
.
.
Three occasions when lip-synching is okay:
1. For family.
2. For friends.
3. For illness.
================================
We can forgive and skirt-
The fact that the great Luciano Pavarotti did so in
his last live concert.
.
.
Three locations for scams:
1. In the snail mail.
2. Over the phone.
3. On the internet.
===================================
More education is needed-
So that any scam will be heeded.

But instead, learned to bowl with her left hand, leading to
results of so much to gain.

Three hospital problems:

Three Things That The Porter Fire Department & Others Have Been Up To Lately
Three things that the Porter Fire Department, and a few other sponsors have been up to lately:
1. Taking care of business.
2. Serving the public.
3. Feeding the hungry.
==============================================
Firemen & Hunters Against Hunger, will be feeding the hungry-
At the Porter Fire Department, March 29th, 11 am to 4 pm,

Three reasons that there are less drivers running red lights, nowadays:
1. Drivers are becoming more responsible.
2. Drivers are worried about their safety, and the safety of others.
3. They know that they are being watched.
=========================================================
It's a shame, that it takes red light cameras, to make drivers do, as they
should-
For we know, for a fact, that they'd keep on running them, if they could.
.
.
Three reasons to pull out, at the last moment, in front of someone,
when they are the only car
in sight:
1. You are in a hurry.
2. You are entitled to.
3. You want to be in front of that one car at the next redlight.

The act to get ahead, a lot of the time, seems to fail.

Three Things To Be Long Remembered
Three things to be long remembered:
1. Your childhood in general.
2. The special things that happened in your childhood.
3. The town from your childhood, even if it no longer exists.
======================================================================
A "Fostoria" Reunion, April 6, at the Security Community Center on Hwy 105-
Folks gathering, in East Montgomery County sharing pictures and stories, to keep the memories alive.
.

Three ways to honor:

2. A plaque.

Three things that politicians need to do before taking office:
1. Buy new office furniture.
2. Change the name on the door.
3. Reveal the skeletons in their closets.

Better now, than before the press gets wind-
As we experienced over and over again.

Three things overheard that made the East Montgomery County History Day worthwhile:
1. That was my great-great grandfather.
2. I remember when that place used to be there.
3. We must be related, somehow or another.
============================================
And if we're not, then we'll find a way-
As the East Montgomery County Historical Society, is preserving the history today.
.
.
Three things that happened on March 30th:
1. The 15th Amendment is adopted. (1870)

Three ways to know you've been had:
1. Your alarm clock doesn't go off.

Three Ways To Prepare For The Upcoming Dinosaur Park In East Montgomery County
Three ways to prepare for the upcoming dinosaur park in East Montgomery County:
1. Develop patience.
2. Think big.
3. Visit the new Paleontology Prep Lab at the Woodlands
Xploration Station.
================================================
Digging for fossils, and making casts of dinosaur footprints, at the interactive science exhibit-
Children learning science, and not minding it a bit.
.
.
Three reasons that politicians turn corrupt:
1. It’s the water that they are drinking.
2. The temptation is too great.
3. They like other criminals, think they
won’t get caught.
============================
Sad, but true-
Our society needs leaders,
that we can look up to.
.
.
Three reasons not to sleep:
1. You might miss something.
2. Freddy.
3. Everytime you lay your head down, the gas prices
rise, overnight.
===========================================
Give me a thump-
So that I won't raise the prices at the gas pump.

Three Ways To Handle Any Day
Three ways to handle any day:
1. By the hour.
2. By the minute.
3. Moment to moment.
============================
That's about all one can do-
In order to properly get through.
.
.
Three reasons that one car will
suddenly cut into the front of
another car:
1. They aren't paying attention.
2. They're in a hurry.
3. They know no better.
============================
Let them think they gain-
As long as they cause no pain.

.
Three overloads:

The information highway-
May in the end, have too much to say.

Three Romantic Couples
Three romantic couples:
1. Romeo and Juliet.
2. Former King Edward VIII and Wallace Simpson.
3. Mark Carpenter and Maureen McClelland.
==========================================
And so the opportunity arose-
At the John Cooper School Gala,
in the center of the dance stage,
to propose.
.
.
Three responses from a Labour Party member of Parliament from Wales, on the subject of Britain taking on an adoration of a national flag, such as the Americans do:
1. It's just another fascination with America.
2. It's a bit eccentric.
3. It's foolish.
==============================================
Why does the Royal Family come to mind-
When I read descriptions of this kind?
.
.
Three reasons that children laugh:
1. Because something is funny.
2. Because it is in their nature to.
3. Because they do not take things so seriously.
=============================================
Adults should imitate them once in a while-
By relaxing a bit, eventually leading at least to
a grin or a smile.

Three Reasons That One Might Be Late For Work Today
Three reasons that you might be late for work today:
1. You can't find your car keys.
2. The traffic is thicker than usual.
3. You forgot to set your clock up an hour on Sunday
morning.
