Three songs that were sung by the Porter Elementary 5th grade:
1. Lights! Camera! Action.
2. SpongeBob SquarePants.
3. Beyond the Sea.
==============================================
Along with Hot Chocolate, The Candy Man, and the Best Years of Lives, a job well done-
Directed by Porter Elementary's Music teacher, and New Caney ISD's Teacher of the Year winner, Ms. Richeson.
.
.
Three occasions when you hope someone is wrong:
1. When it is something that might bother you.
2. When it is something that will affect you negatively.
3. When it is something that you do not want.
==========================================
Hoping someone is wrong for a very good reason-
As the forecasters predict a very busy hurricane season.
.
.
Three ways to get home when you're lost:
1. Get a map.
2. Ask someone.
3. Tell someone where you live.
=============================================
The tale about Yosuke the parrot, has been heard by everyone-
But it was so cute, that I thought, that just once more, it should be re-done.

Three Things To Do With That Recently Purchased RV
Three things to do with that recently purchased RV:
1. Have a picnic in it.
2. Use it as a spare room for unexpected guests.
3. Wish that you could afford to drive it cross country,
as you had once planned.
=============================================
And with the high gas prices went-
Those much thought out plans for retirement.
.
.
Three intense discussions:
1. Pentagon meetings discussing national security.
2. World leaders discussing peace.
3. Oil executives and politicians on Capitol Hill, discussing
the rising gas prices.
===========================================
Profit, dependence, and production-
Going hand and hand, on this one.
.
.
Three types of layoffs due to cutbacks that one
can really feel:
1. City layoffs, due to cutbacks.
2. School district layoffs, due to cutbacks.
3. A family member's layoff, due to cutbacks.
========================================
When it hits home, one cannot ignore or skirt-
That deep seated, gut feeling hurt.

Three Types Of Bees
Three types of bees:
1. Honey bees.
2. Africanized bees.
3. National Geographic Bee.
=====================================
Spelling at its' best-
As an 11 year old Nebraska boy, passes the test.
.
.
Three occasions when milk is required:
1. For the baby's bottle.
2. To add with the favorite cereal.
3. To go with the 14 tons that was spilled on
an Illinois Highway.
===================================
Double stuffed at that, all over the road-
As unfortunately, the truck lost its' load.
.
.
Three things about politics:
1. It’s ongoing.
2. It can get interesting.
3. Like our grandmothers used to say,
“no matter who wins, the price of beans
will still be the same.”
=================================
Nowadays as long as you can get your hands on
enough rice-
With enough money to keep up with the gas prices,
that will suffice.

Three Ways To Tell That You Have Too Much To Do
Three ways to tell that you have too much to do:
1. You have extra large to do lists.
2. The clothes basket is full, actually overflowing.
3. You forgot what your own name is.
========================================
Eventually, you'll get back on track-
And figure out a way, to catch your snap.
.
.
Three things that retire:
1. Sports jerseys.
2. Employees.
3. That big yellow school bus.
=========================================
Stored in grand style-
At least, for a little while.
.
.
Three things to call that ice treat:
1. Shaved ice.
2. Sno cone.
3. Sno ball.
=====================================
A cool blast-
That serves today's needs,
as it has in the past.

Sawmill Festival 2008 In East Montgomery County
I am standing at Hwy 59 and FM 1314-
And I know that back in the day, different things were seen.
.
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.
