Peoria Hollin Scruggs Bolden 1916-1989

2010-10-11T22:40:00.002-04:00

I am remembering my grandmother/mother today.

Peoria Hollin Scruggs Bolden

May 25, 1916 - October 11, 1989

I miss her smile, her laugh, her wisdom and the irregular heartbeat through her chest.

I miss her low-pitched voice, her three-textured long hair, and her amazing spirit.

Mama was a giver, a teacher, a debater, and a helper.

She could sew, cook, clean, sing, pray, read and write.

Mama loved all her children in their uniqueness and their individuality.

She loved her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, god-son, siblings, nieces, nephews & cousins too!

Mama was a true friend to many.

She was an amazing woman, wife, and mother.

She was a woman of God and not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I don't miss her with sadness, I miss her presence and her wisdom.

I miss her biscuits and sweet-rolls too. I'm glad she's resting in peace with no pain and suffering.

I'm glad I knew her.... I know you are too!

Hi, I started a Rondo Arkansas Facebook Page.

I found out there was another one - it is hard to fathom that Rondo changed or grew any when I left Arkansas in June 1970 so I don't accept the other page. Who are those folks anyway?

Enjoy.

Sad Announcement

2010-05-10T00:49:00.004-04:00

With great sorrow we announce the passing of Melvyn's mother Mrs. Emma Rumble Lyas whom we affectionately called Cookie Grandma and Mama Lyas.

Mrs. Lyas passed on Sunday May 9, 2010 at Norwalk Hospital in Norwalk, Connecticut from complications of surgery.

She leaves four sons: Peter Lyas of California, the twins - Kenneth (of North Carolina) and Karl Lyas(of Norwalk) and Melvyn Lyas (of Norwalk); she was the last of all her siblings to pass away.

Please keep Melvyn and his brothers along with all their children and grandchildren, and Cookie's nieces and nephews in your prayers.

Funeral Services will be some time later this week after final arrangements are completed. Check http://www.bakerfuneralservices.com/ for information on Tuesday.

Mrs. Lyas also had extended family in North Carolina and the Boston Massachusetts area. She was a lifelong member of the Calvary Baptist Church in South Norwalk. A Church that looked after her all the days of her life, especially her Deacons Vernell and Robert Brandon and Dee Dee Hilliard! She also had many loving neighbors and friends who looked out for her as well because they loved her so much. Please remember her personal nurse, Patti Thompson who labored in love for her this past year.

We will miss Cookie, so pray for us all. Thank you and God bless you.

A Conversation with Aunt Edna Mae McFadden today

2010-01-01T19:28:00.000-05:00

Phyllis dials Chicago and when the phone is answered: Aunt Edna - Hey -- how are you?

This is Phyllis Bolden, Happy New Year!

Aunt Edna: WHO?

PHYLLIS: Phyllis Bolden

(we do this 3 times statement and response)

AUNT EDNA Finally: -- OH!!! PHYLLIS it’s so good to hear your voice baby!

PHYLLIS: I said -- Happy NEW YEAR!

Aunt Edna: Happy New Year to you too baby! Do you know how old I am now?:

Phyllis: Yes -- 101 BACKWARDS!

Aunt Edna: AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That’s a good one -- and you are so right!
I’m 101 years old and still pushing -- and pushing- and pushing - and I’m gonna keep on pushing!
Oh the things I’ve seen in my lifetime and the things going on today!

Phyllis: Isn’t it something Aunt Edna - so bad…

Aunt Edna cuts in: Oh honey, it’s nothing new, it’s just the Bible fulfilling itself, everything God said in the Word it is coming to pass -- just the Bible fulfilling itself, fulfilling itself, it’s happening right now, right this very moment. You can talk about the world and everything going on but you can’t change a thing because it’s the Bible -- fulfilling itself, just like the Lord said it would!
But I’M STILL HERE! Hallelujah! A century and one.
(Phyllis concurs over and over between Aunt Edna’s comments about the fulfillment of the Bible and her age)
(She thanked us for calling her on her birthday December 25th - Christmas Day and said she loves the family so much)
AUNT EDNA CONTINUES: I got up on my birthday -- first call 7:14 am -- and I stayed RIGHT THERE because I knew it was going to happen alllllllllllllll day long and it did. Then the next day too! It happens like that every year, whoever don’t get me on my birthday will call me the next day and I be ready -- right next to the phone, oh! I just love it and I just love my family! Thank you Jesus!
The Home Health Aide didn’t come today so my downstairs, wonderful neighbor will come fix my breakfast for me instead, such a wonderful, beautiful soul!

PHYLLIS: Aunt Edna, how’s Aunt Jeffrey Mae?

AUNT EDNA: Oh -- she’s good -- she’d love to do everything for me but she can’t anymore. Bless her heart -- she’s always been so sweet to me and I love her for that.
WANNA HEAR SOMETHING FUNNY?

PHYLLIS: Yes Aunt Edna, tell me.

AUNT EDNA: Well, I fell.

PHYLLIS INTERRUPTS!: Oh NO! Are you okay???

AUNT EDNA: Yes sweetie I’m fine, just fine -- let me tell you what’s funny.

PHYLLIS: ok.

AUNT EDNA: I fell three times!

PHYLLIS: when?

AUNT EDNA: As of late - It’s been two years since I fell and like I said I fell three times lately.
I called 911 to get me up. They come out - the paramedics or the firemen and they help me up look me over and ask if I want to go to the Doctor. I tell them no -- I’m in no pain.

PHYLLIS: Why did you fall Aunt Edna?

AUNT EDNA: - Girl, these old knees just give out sometimes and I’m not aware, I have my walker and never know it is going to happen so I end up on the floor but thank God I haven’t gotten hurt, just bumped, my biggest concern is to get up off that floor. WELL BACK TO THE FUNNY STORY HONEY:
I had just fallen, the paramedics got me up and I wasn’t sitting in the chair 10 minutes after the paramedics were gone then Jeffrey Mae called and said “I fell aunt Edna” and I said, “did you call 911 for the paramedics?” Jeffrey Mae said, “no, that’s embarrassing, I couldn’t bring myself to do it.” I said, well how did you get up honey?” she said, oh Aunt Edna I just struggled and rolled and struggled and rolled until I was able to pull myself up!” I said, shoot, I woulda come help you but I was on the floor myself! Jeffrey Mae said, “oh my I fell on the floor just like you Aunt Edna and I wasn‘t there to help you!” I said to Jeffrey Mae Honey I just call 911 and they help me right up, look over me and make sure I don’t need a doctor or the Emergency Room; as far as you go I know you love me but you falling on the floor?
“That’s the wrong copycat girl” you don’t need to be falling on the floor and all - a few minutes in between! (Okay -- right here is where we laughed hysterically for many minutes).

PHYLLIS: How’s Alfred Bolden, Jr. doing? I KNOW you see him all the time because he’s got Edna McFadden on his mind!

AUNT EDNA EXCLAIMS:

Oh!!!!!!!!! Alfred Bolden Jr. --

He’s my momma-poppa-my everything!!! (Alfred Bolden, Jr.)
He takes care of me baby!!!
Jr - gets my groceries, takes care of my bills, my check every month -- everything I want he does it.
Comes in here, wash dishes, vacuum he’ll dust -- he does everything for me!
If it weren’t for him, I’d have to go to a nursing home!
Takes care of me REAL GOOD - doesn’t miss a week, sometimes comes both Sunday and Saturday.
He calls me all the time, he makes me feel so special.
I don’t know what I’d do without him (Alfred Bolden, Jr.)

PHYLLIS: Aunt Edna that is a pure blessing from God, you deserve it too.

AUNT EDNA: I sure thank him baby, I surely thank him - - Hey -- that’s the doorbell ringing….

PHYLLIS: Aunt Edna, that was a wonderful conversation a blessing to hear your voice, go get the door.

AUNT EDNA: Yes Baby -- I am SO HAPPY that you called and I love you and the family so much!
Call again soon Okay?

PHYLLIS: Yes Ma’am -- Love you!

AUNT EDNA: Love you too -- bye!

MCU Men Begins TSAC With 68-66 Loss at Martin Methodist

12.06.2008 - [Men's Basketball]

Reserve guard Marvin Bolden scored 10 points and had 2 steals at Martin Methodist, 12/6

(Pulaski, Tennessee) - Undefeated Martin Methodist College (11-0, 2-0 TSAC) led by as many as 12 points in the first half and weathered several comeback attempts by Mid-Continent University (2-8; 0-1 TSAC) enroute to a 68-66 victory over the Cougars, in TSAC conference men's basketball action in Pulaski, Tennessee, Saturday, Dec. 6. After MCU guard Donovan Willis (East Orange, NJ/East Orange HS/Essex County College) tied the game at 66-66 with a basket and free throw with 20 seconds left, Aubre Bodison hit the game-winning basket for Martin Methodist with two seconds left.

Mid-Continent takes a lengthy break for finals and the Christmas holiday, returning to action, Saturday, January 3, at Lyon College in Batesville, Arkansas, in the 4:00 p.m. second game of a TSAC doubleheader with the schools' women's teams playing at 2:00.

After Martin Methodist led 23-11 with 7:10 left in the first half, Mid-Continent sliced the lead to 34-31 on a three-pointer by reserve guard Marvin Bolden (Fredericksburg, VA/Courtland HS/Frederick CC, MD) with 58 seconds left and trailed 36-31 at halftime. In the second half, the score was tied five times, and Mid-Continent took its biggest lead of the game on Bolden's hoop, 42-39, with 13:37 left in the game. But MMC went on an 8-1 run over the next 3 minutes and led 49-43 with 10:01 remaining. Again MCU fought back and tied the game at 58-58 with 3:40 left. MCU also came back to tie the game at 61-61, 63-63, and 66-66 with 20 seconds remaining on Willis' three-point play.

Missing its leading scorer and rebounding, 6-8 junior center Kenny Thomas (Orange, NJ/Orange HS/Essex County College), who was averaging 13 points and 9 rebounds per game, MCU shot .379 (25-66) from the field, made 5 of 17 three-pointers and 11 of 17 free throws, committed 19 turnovers, and narrowly lost the rebounding battle, 33-29.

In Thomas' place, junior Santez Johnson (Tupelo, MS/Tupelo HS/Itawamba CC) scored 16 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. Willis added 12 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 4 assists, and Bolden finished with 10 points and 2 steals. Reserve forward Joshua Woodley (Lake Worth, FL/Santaluces HS/Palm Beach CC) contributed 11 points and 3 three-pointers, and guard Aaron Pearson (Baton Rouge, LA/Southern Laboratory HS/Cabrillo CC, Calif.) came off the bench for 6 points and 4 steals.

MMC shot .510 (25-49) from the field for the game, made 4 of 16 three-pointers and 14 of 21 free throws and committed 24 turnovers. Bodison led all scorers with 23 points and also grabbed 5 rebounds. Mark Mangum added 12 points, 8 assists, and 3 rebounds, and Julius Virgo hit 5 of his 7 shots and totaled 13 points, 3 blocked shots, and 6 rebounds. Forward Will Shackleford added 7 points and 7 rebounds.

Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage then Collards top-left.

Another view Top view of the cabbage, I took two home!
Spring Cabbage taste better eaten young.

Berea is excited snapping off Collard leaves!

On Saturday, I took Mark and Berea with me to Fodor Farm. My little side-kick, Imani was away in New York visiting her folks. Berea and Imani have been to the farm with me, but it was Marks first time. He came reluctantly but with a bit of bullying from me he came, and had a fantastic time.

I was Hoping that you would see the little DVD Slide-show that I did, but I couldn't get it to load so I did some pictures. There were about 150 pictures, but here a re just a few. Enjoy!

Mark is more excited snapping Collard leaves -- they tasted great!

I am growing the following vegetables at Fodor Farm:

Jalapeno Peppers

Sweet Peppers

Bell Peppers

Hot Peppers (it has a name I can't remember)

Honey Dew Melon

Cucumber

Snow Peas

Bush Beans

Collard Greens

Cabbage

Brussel Sprout

Tomato

Eggplant (Purple)

Eggplant (white)

Zuchini

More cabbage

I have two plots 4' X 12' at Fodor Farm which is Norwalk's Community Garden.

My friend Daisy Marie goes out there with me, she has a garden and we share another garden that was abandoned by a friend. You will see photos of many gardens and I did not tag which ones were mine. You will see because I'm picking from one of them.

At home, I'm growing Zuchini, Tomato, Celery, Brussel Sprout, Cabbage, - this garden was a Father's Day gift to Melvyn.

I am also growing herbs - Mint, Lemon-Balm Mint, Oregano, Basil, Sweet Italian Basil, Rosemary, Thyme, and Parsley.

Peoria taught me how to garden, just in case you're wondering.

Love to you all!

Norwalk Connecticut Weather

2008-06-18T16:04:00.003-04:00

Let me tell you something.
I am NOT complaining, compared to all the earthquakes, tsunami's floods, wildfires, tornadoes (sp?), sinkholes, croccodile and alligator invasions, grizzly bears chasing folks at Yosimite Park, rattlesnake infestations, snow in Wyoming 2 days ago - nope, not complaining at all with a week of 90+ degree weather, air conditioners on full blast making electric bills go sky-high after a winter with $750.00 oil tank fill-ups at a time --- nawww, I ain't complaining about the weather at all!

Hey -- some of ya'll remember Sis Mae (Granny) Praising God til her wig flew off -- well, this ain't Granny but it sure brings back the memories, she's done it a few times!

It's GOOD TO BE ALIVE YA'LL!!!!!!!!

BLESSINGS!!
PHYLLIS

These are updated photos of me and my Muk-Puk. No, that's not his middle finger! LOL! Before everyone starts to question the nickname "Muk-Puk" let me tell you how it come about. As you all know, my nickname is PUKA. My husband's nickname is MUKIE. So we took the first 3 letters of our nickname and named him Muk-Puk (pronounced: Mook-Pook). LOL! LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!

Hi Family! It's YeVette Derene (Bynes) Newton aka Puka (smile). Here's a picture of me and my son Hubert Linzell Newton IV on Christmas Eve, which also happened to be his "Dedication Service". He's 2 months old in this pic.

Presidential Politics

What about Hillary, Obama and the rest in the Presidential sweepstakes? Do you have an opinion one way or the other? Senator Dodd, the Senator from Connecticut is also in the race. What do you think?

Hey, what can I say. I like politics and politicians. I used to be one.
