Massie, Fulton & Powers

Mom was showing Marcia and I some old photos and we decided to scan a few onto the computer.  I selected some that depict Mom's heritage as well as our own.  The first picture represents four generations: Regina Ruble Fulton, Helen Fulton Powers, Ruby Massie Fulton and Don Powers in the blanket.

The next one is Ruby Massie Fulton with baby Don.  I believe these two pictures were taken Over North.

Here is the lovely young lady Helen Fulton in her graduation dress.  She earned the money to buy this dress by working as an aide for two of her teachers at school.

The next one is little Dewey on Oct 8, 1947 just four months after his birth.

This is a great picture of our family Dad, Mom, Dewey, Don and Dick in front of Grandpa Fulton's house on Mill Street.

Next is a 1955 Christmas Card from the Powers Family.  Don, Dick and Dewey.

This one is of Dad, Dick and Dewey I am guessing around my graduation.

The last one is of Dad with the sign in front of the Powers Church.

These are a few of the photos that Mom has.  She has others with more pictures of the family.  I just wanted to share these with you.

Christmas 2010

We had a great Christmas.  All of the kids were home except Seri who was visiting her relatives in Illinois.  It was such a treat having the house full of kids again.  Our own children were here as well as our grandchildren.  Does this picture tell you how happy we were?

The first to arrive home was Alyssa.  She rolled in Christmas Eve with her car loaded down with her gifts as well as those of Brian and Jennifer. 

Jennifer and Brian with Cole and Quinn got here on Christmas Day and it was sure good to see them.  The Meston side of the family were here on Christmas day so Alyssa and Brian and Jennifer got to see them and spend a little time catching up.  Of course there was the obligatory eating with BIL Bill bringing the main course which was a delicious gumbo.  It had sausage, shrimp possibly some other meat and lots of veggies, yumm.

Matt got here the next day and then the mayhem really got started.  It was time to open all of the presents under the tree.  The boys were pretty excited.  Here are a few photos.

Everyone looked pretty excited with their presents.  The last one is Brian and Quinn playing Perfection.  The object is to get all of the pieces in their holes before the time runs out.  Guess what the time ran out just as they were finishing and then the board pops up giving everyone a thrill. 

We had a great Christmas with everyone.  We wish that Seri could have been with us but we know she enjoyed spending time with her family.  Looking forward to 2011 and wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
