Photos

The beginning of my photos! I started a darkroom class this fall...and it has been a blast!
Here is photo #1. Tile work from a bench in Spanish Plaza downtown Mobile.
More to come...

Spit McGee

So a little white kitty made his way into our laundry room...and into our family. He now has a name...Spit McGee.

After Willie Morris's book, My Cat, Spit McGee - a white cat with one hazel and one blue eye...just like our Spit!

Powells in the news...

So I'm the secretary this year for our local chapter of state CPA society (Mobile Chapter of the ASCPA). Apparently new officers were noted in the newspaper on Sunday...but I didn't even look in the section when I was perusing the paper.

My sister, who lives in Baton Rouge, LA, however, is the person who told me about it! My dad saw it and told her yesterday. How funny...that someone who lives out of town knows it before me!

Changes...

So I decided we need a new name...since we haven't moved lately!

Maybe a new design and title will bring me back more often to post!

White Kitty

We have a little kitty hanging around our house.
She's kind of cute...I don't know who she belongs to.

Our Beloved Hoss

Magnum's Pride Mr. Bojangles
"Hoss"
Powell

1995-2007

We are so blessed to have known you - we love you and miss you. Thank you for your love.

Photography class

So I've been taking a photography class...and look what I can do! Out of about 30 students, only 3 of us were shooting film. How sad! But I have scanner, so I can add my "old school" pictures to the web, too!

Katrina Repair

So we've finally "fixed" the "Katrina Area" Here is a before picture...now I have to go shoot an after! The sod is in place and starting to look really good!

Prince Rupert

Rupert came for a visit while Tracy was in town.
He looks sad to be leaving today.
We'll miss you, Rupert!

Sad little Blog

I promise to update...I actually had a decorated Christmas Tree this year.
Love,
Amy

RSA Tower

Charlie and I headed down to see the spire attach to the tower. It was pretty cool!

(PS this is just a rendering from the builder website...I forgot my camera)

Final Bathroom

WOW! We finally have a finished bathroom!
It's been a struggle...but we are finally finished!

Nearing completion

The shower is almost complete!
I can't wait until we can actually use it.

Hopefully we will finish up by the end of this week.

Bathroom progress

So the bathroom is still under construction...check out what is going to be the shower!

Bathroom Remodel

It is official...the bathroom remodel has begun! Look at that butterfly wallpaper! I wonder what decade that is from!

There was a serious pink / fuschia paint at one time that not only was in this bathroom, but the master bedroom as well. Eeek!

Hoss

Hoss decided to eat some oil over the weekend...he ingested some leftover oil from fish frying at the Powell's house in Panama City...he gave us quite a scare...and an overnight stay at the vet with IV fluids. Yikes!!!

He's much better now...but I need to keep him away from the Wesson!

The St. Louis Adventure

I flew to St. Louis on Thursday morning, June 22 to help Tracy move into her new place. We camped on Thursday night and drove around a little on Friday morning...awaiting the POD arrival.
These are the only 2 pictures I took while in St. Louis. We were a little preoccupied with the actual moving to do any more.
The picture below was after we had moved most of the boxes inside...she had used every available space in the POD!
We had a good time, though we didn't actually do any tourist things...that will have to be saved for my next trip!
This is Tracy, my favorite and only sister. I miss her. Isn't she the cutest?
All for now,
~ACP

Rupert

RUPERT













Rupert gave us quite a scare this morning!

Tracy came by around 5 a.m. to pick him up...and he took off!

He finally strolled back around the yard, so Tracy could put him in his pet carrier. Whew!!

Tracy, Rupert, Maija and Anna are all on their way to ST. Louis!

Hard to believe I'll be heading up there tomorrow.

I'll post an update when I get back!
