When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and
to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station which the Laws of
Nature and of Nature's God entitle them.....

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that
among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General
Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the
rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good
People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united
Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States.....

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection
of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

As the Deer
by Marty Nystrom

As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after thee
You alone are my hearts desire
And I long to worship thee

Chorus
You alone are my Strength my shield
To you alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my hearts desire
And I long to worship thee

You're my friend and You are my brother
Even though you are a king
I love you more than any other
So much more than anything

Chorus
You alone are my Strength my shield
To you alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my hearts desire
And I long to worship thee

I want You more than gold or silver,
Only You can satisfy
You alone are the real joy Giver
And the apple of my eye.

Chorus
You alone are my Strength my shield
To you alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my hearts desire
And I long to worship thee

God says You are Welcome

2009-11-26T09:38:00.002-05:00

I have been saying thank you to God a lot lately. Last night "God says you are welcome" with this beautiful sunset.Thanksgiving is my favorite Holiday.
It has been a very hard year and God has been good. My son was living in Hawaii and they
found out he had cancer. His brother saw him through 6 months of chemo and was
a great caregiver. I was here praying for my son but unable to be with him.
God is good, he preserved my son for me.
John flew in from Hawaii yesterday and late yesterday we decided
to go to town to pick up some last minute things for Thanksgiving.
As we were traveling from home to Smithfield we saw this wonderful tribute
of God's goodness and mercy and grace.

My son John Boyette took this picture of a sunset in Johnston County
as we were driving to Smithfield. What a miracle that statement is, that John is alive,
that he is here, that God is blessing us everyday even when we don't see His sunsets.

Wendy Welch from the QAR in Greenville answered question
about Conservation of the artifacts from the Queen Anne's Revenge.
Blackbeard the Pirate left behind many artifacts for us
when his ship sank on a sandbank at the mouth of the
Pamlico Sound of North Carolina.

Diving Equipment used by Wendy Welch and other
Underwater Archeologist.
We were able to guess the names of the some of the
pieces of equipment.

Wendy Welch shows HUH Groups members the
equipment that she uses when salvaging artifacts from
the ocean floor at the shipwreck site.

Wendy Welch is a knowledgeable and entertaining
speaker. HUH Groups visited the QAR conservation
Lab at Greenville in June 2008 and Wendy was a tour guide for
one of the HUH groups.

2009-04-27T10:02:00.003-04:00

The Tryon Palace Crew was in Raleigh for the State Convention.
They presented a re-enactment of the famous North Carolina
"Duel to the Death" between Ex-Governor Richard Dobbs Spaight
and John Stanley Jr. which took place in New Bern on September 5, 1802.
On the fourth attempt Stanley fired the shot which would prove
fatal to Spaight.

HUSH member Christopher Williams was chosen from the crowd of
young Tar Heel Junior Historians to serve as the second for John Stanley Jr.
All HUH Groups members are glad that Christopher was not called upon to
perform duties as second.

2009-01-10T20:19:00.003-05:00

The Drake Family Quilt is an amazing work of art.

Emma Drake's father loved nature and Emma recorded
her passion for creation with what she saw in
Florida and in Kentucky.

The Drake family owned the land which would later became
Church Hill Downs.

Sara Spear graciously shared her knowledge of her
family with members and parents of Homeschoolers Unfolding History Groups
at the Public Library of Johnston County and Smithfield on Jan. 8, 2009.

HUH president, Nick Revels presents a certificate of appreciation
to Sara Spear for the lovely presentation of family history to the club.

Drake Family Quilt

2009-01-10T20:05:00.006-05:00

4x4 Kentucky "Crazy Quilt" c. 1892
(words by Sara Spear) (Photos by Elaine Forman)

This quilt was made by Emma Catherine Drake from Lexington, Kentucky. Her father, Professor Abram Drake, began the first public school system in Fayette County, Kentucky in 1850, and later became president of Transylvania University. Emma was one of his eleven children. According to family papers, she began work on this quilt as a young woman in 1887.

This quilt was a gift for her invalid brother, Ernest B. Drake. She embroidered his initials on the quilt segment with the plow, representative of the family's Kentucky farm. He used the quilt as a lap robe.

Emma accompanied her father on a trip to Florida in the late 1880's and met Ernest Meres there. He was looking for work and came to work on the Drake horse farm. She married him in 1894 in Lexington, two years after finishing her work on this quilt. They lived in Tarpon Springs, Florida, where her new husband helped build the town and the sponge fishing industry that still exists there today. Emma died in 1936 at 80 years of age and was buried in Tarpon Springs.

Like any well-brought-up young lady of those days, her needlework was exquisite. Her great-granddaughter, currently living in Benson, North Carolina, has many other beautiful textiles created by Emma Drake Meres.

These HUH members are proud to march in the
parade and show their respect for our veterans.

That mascara line makes it appear that these ladies (Lora Woodard pictured here)
are wearing seamed hose which were worn in World War II, but were in short
supply because of the rationing of nylon which was needed for
the war effort. The fake seam makes it look like the wearer has on real hose.

This World War II veteran was excited to be honored by these HUH moms.
Thank you Veterans for your service to our country.

John Lawrence and Elaine Forman

Members of HUNCH work on their plans for the year.

John Lawrence visited from East Carolina University in Greenville. He shared a power point presentation which highlighted the holdings of the Joyner Library which pertain to North Carolina History. One interesting item that he shared was a transcript of a letter telling of a Hurricane (no names were given at that time to Hurricanes) which hit the North Carolina coast back when NC was just a colony. This year members of HUH Groups are studying the Five worst hurricanes to hit North Carolina and members will be making reports to the whole group at future meetings.
