Fulton-Powers Clan Meeting

On December 11th there was an historic meeting of the Fulton & Powers Families reminiscent of years gone by when we had family get togathers at the holidays.  All of the "kids" from the Fulton side and the Powers side gathered for a meal and good times.  The first picture is of the entire Fulton family.

The next picture is of the Powers family.

This is the patriarchs of the clans.  Eileen Fulton on the left and Helen Powers on the right.

 Then there is Eileen and Helen with all of their kids.  The Fulton girls and the Powers boys.

We had a great time and lots of stories were told.  Several of the stories even had roots with some amount of truth in them.  It was so nice to see all of the cousins again.

Powers Church Service

Holiday Greetings to all!  As many of you know we have started having a winter service at The Powers Church. At the service this year we had a reporter from the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette in attendance along with a photographer.  She wrote a very nice article which appeared in yesterdays paper.  I thought some of you might be interested in viewing the article which also has a short video clip.  Here is the link that should take you directly to the page the article is on:

We have been very busy here with a lot of things happening besides getting ready for the holidays.  We had Thanksgiving at Dick and Jill's which was very enjoyable.  The meal was delicious, my compliments to all involved in preparing and serving it.  We got to meet Jill's uncle John and his daughter Karol, both very enjoyable people.

We also had a big birthday on the 29th as Mom celebrated her 90th.  We had a nice dinner with Mom, Don & Sally, Dick & Jill and the girls Paige & McKenna.  We went to Ruby Tuesdays and several people stopped by the table to wish Mom a Happy Birthday.  Don & Sally had also put a piece in the local paper advising people who know Mom to send her a card.  It was very successful as Mom received several cards from well wishers.  Mom did not receive her biggest birthday present on her birthday but that is a story for another time.

We are really looking forward to seeing almost everyone(we will miss Seri) over the Holidays and can hardly wait.  We wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season!
