The sun also rises on our red dirt road the last day of 2006.
Looks really different than the same scene above taken in the green season. I guess we could call this the brown season.

Merry Christmas to All My Family
Last year I made family calendars with birthdays and aniversary dates from my genealogy program and had them printed and put together for my sisters. This year Hannah Lee Aday has taken up so much time that I have not gotten much Christmas done. I have made time for the important things like playing with the grandkids and let other things go. However, this morning I found time to make the calendar with our days and upload it here
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~powell/calendar/
I had to redo the calendar because of my computer crash. At Helen's request, dead people do not appear on this calendar and I have, I think, fixed it so obscure relatives do not force our immediate family to the bottom of the page by deleting days for a few far removed cousins. I also had it put in full names, since several of our family actually are known to us by their middle name.
Since Helen did not want dead people on the calendar, Mom and Dad and their aniversary will not appear on the calendar. Mom was born Jan. 24, 1921, Grandma Powell was Jan 18, 1891. I think Grandpa Powell was April 1, 1883. Daddy was July 25, 1915 and Mom and Dad were married on May 16, 1937. Grandma and Grandpa were married on April 16, 1911. If you want these dates, you can write them in. You can blame Helen for this.
Enjoy your do it yourself Christmas!!
UPDATE: Crazy Sister Helen did not like her calendar cause it did not have Debbie Lee on it. Now we have two calendars, one with only living and one with everybody. They are both in the same directory, take your pick, or take both. Do it your way...

Hannah is HOME!!
Grandma is taking a couple of days off to make sure she is held and spoiled. She is lying in the sun here cause she still has a 'little' jaundice.
Aunt Patsy made her a quilt. Later, I will take a picture of baby and quilt.
Thanks, Aunt Patsy for the quilt. It is very pretty and it looks a lot like the one you made for Robert.
Robert ignores t he baby. He thinks it is a doll, and boys do not play with dolls.

Lane, November 12, 2006 - 11 years
Trying to take a picture of Lane and Emmy on the deck at their house. First Emmy doing her thing with hands going everywhere. 2. Lane puts his hand over Emmy's mouth. He thinks this will make a better picture. 3. No hands, but Emmy is keeping an eye out. 4. Looking cool. 5. Lane and Daddy. Jackie bought him the hat and shirt. I bought him a 'hoody', but he thought Jackie's choice was better. I also gave him money and tried to talk him into buying new school shoes. He said he would, but then, thought maybe he needed a new video game. Happy Birthday #1 Grandson.
You will notice son is somewhat challenged in the hair department. Like grandpa and Uncle Clayton. Only thirty-one. He must be a Powell.

Robert, a mover and shaker
Patsy wanted pictures of Robert, but Robert just will not stand still long enough any more so that you can get a good picture. Even holding him didn't keep him still.

Gilbert
and the swing in the Cherry Tree. The tree did not last long after this. See the limbs that have been sawed off?
The New Barn is behind the fence post on the right, the Old Barn is way back in the distance. Look close and you can just make out the out house between the forks of the tree, about half way between the forground and the Old Barn. the fartherest Oak Tree behind the barn still stands in my yard, the other two next to it are just tree stumps now.

Ella Pearl Kinzer Melrose
This is a picture of Great-Grandma Myrtle Mae Kinzer Thomas' cousin. It was sent to me by Wendel Melrose, a descendant of Ella.
People who are just getting interested in genealogy often ask me how to find out about their family. The best way I know is to put what you know about your family out on the net and wait. Someone will find you and share what they know with you. That is how this photo and the following bio came to me, with very little effort on my part. Thanks, Wendell.
Biography on William Gregory written in the 1890 Jefferson County, Iowa
