Memorable Moments & Stories

  • Other: Lora Frances Kinsey My memories of Grandma Hill, by Michelle Lynnette Higgason Myers. Grandma Lora Hildreth was known as "Grandma Hill" to Michelle, Jody, Jon and Letetia Higgason. It was great fun to stay at Grandma Hill's house. She lived in a one bedroom house at the west edge of Bulpitt on Route 104. She had a concrete bird bath embedded with small stones that was outside her back door. We would pump water from her well and fill the bird bath to make sure the birds were watered. There was a grape arbor in the back yard next to a shed. It was fun to play and pretend it was a magnificent garden. This "garden" was full of my secrets. In Grandma's house was a gold, glass candy dish, the lid was shaped like a hen and it was full of hard candy. There was a brown cuckoo clock hung on the wall in her living room. Grandma Hill ate wheaties for breakfast. There was a large register cover that was about 3-4 ft long and 2 ft wide. We used to stand on it in the winter to warm our feet. We sometimes stayed at Grandma Hill's when mom and dad would go somewhere. When they came to pick us up, we played "possum" hoping we wouldn't have to go home. One day, Grandma was driving Tisha and herself somewhere and they were stopped behind a car on the hardroad. Grandma didn't want to wait for the car to make its turn, so she passed it on the right between the shoulder of the road and a wire that was attached at the top of a pole!.3
