It's me again - Allyson Rose Dill in Lubbock, Texas.
June 2008.
First some recent pictures followed by my new site which I began on January 2008.
BTW, I do play a lot (that's what kids are for!) but managed to make the A-Honor Roll at school im my spare time. When school starts in August 2008 I'll be playing a bit less and getting serious with the Talented and Gifted Program.
We celebrated my father's 45th birthday in Ballinger, Texas, on the last weekend of April 2008 but the ethnic festival was rained out (and cold!) so we joined the other 59 million people at the tex-mex joint then washed everything down with chocolate cake catered by my San Antonio grandparents.
No smiles here...
...and here's why...
My latest addition to the summer fun behind our jet boat...
NOW ON WITH THE SHOW!
My home on the web got so big I had to start all new in 2008.
Don't worry - my first six years on earth are still here!
2008 begins with a memorial to Mumu, my great-grandmother.
Ethel Fowler Keilman, born March 4, 1923, in Atascosa, Texas, died on Sunday, October 7, 2007, at age 84, in San Antonio, Texas.
She belonged to the Canary Island Descendant Association, Friends of the Canary Islands, Daughters of the Republic of Texas and Daughters of the American Revolution.
Mrs. Keilman retired after many years of dedicated service at the San Antonio State Hospital in the accounting department.
She became interested in genealogy and began researching her ancestors from the Canary Islands.
Ethel was very proud to be a descendant of Juan Leal Goraz and the Carvajal family who were among the original founders of San Antonio before 1731.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Joe S. and Annie Hilburn Fowler; brothers, Clive, Raymond, Wilbur, Johnnie and Oren Fowler.
Survivors include her husband of 66 years, Orville Keilman of San Antonio; daughters, Peggy Ann Keilman of New Mexico and Patsy Rae Dill-Moss and husband Rex Moss of San Antonio; grandson, David Anthony Dill of Lubbock, Texas; and great-granddaughter, Allyson Rose Dill of Lubbock, Texas.
She is buried in Bexar Cemetery, Somerset, Texas, in the Fowler Family section.
One of my best memories was Mumu watching me show off my riding skills during the early celebration of my 7th birthday in Ballinger, Texas (Aug '07).
Never been to Ballinger?
To begin 2008 on the right foot I have decided to go on a diet...
...because...
Speaking of early birthday - look what I ride on behind our new boat!
Don't worry, I am very careful...
OK, relax - let's slow things down a bit here with a recent pic from my Dad's cell phone...
...and another while he was recently blasting through stormy Oklahoma...
Did I mention the new boat?
Come Spring 2008 I'll have some cool pics of the new boat at the lake!
Speaking of cool..
We wrap up for now with pics from my seventh birthday celebration in October in Lubbock. October? Yup, my Grandpa Rex and Grandma Bemaw from San Antonio were in Russia in September 2007.
No kidding! Check out my Russian togs!
Scroll down for the birthday pics and visit here often for the latest from Lubbock!
Bye for now.
Love,
Allyson Rose Dill.
