My fourth book, Life Along The Dousinberry, has arrived And I am very pleased with it. It is beautiful. The quality of the book material is excellent, as always and I must give credit to Morris Publishing for their work and patience. Life Along The Dousinberry, although fiction is based on the upbringing of a Missouri Ozark boy. The tale is set in a unique locale along the Dousinberry creek, A tributary of the legendary Niangua river.It is a story of hardships, fascinations, greed and tragedies of this native son during the troubling years of the 1940's. The saga is often hilarious, sad and a time when love was tender but easily forgotton. To be certain, Ronnie Shannon and his sidekick Jimmie, thrive in the clandestine world of their adventures, a period of transformation into the reality of an uncertain adolescence. The book is a 295 page lmited, signed and numbered edition. The front cover features a painting of mine of a Dousinberry scene. For more information e-mail rdpowell@hotmail.com Adios

A Time to Remember

Some of my first woodcarving of the early 1970's. A few went to England.

The tractor of the present. It is over fifty years old

My first tractor in 1972. It steered with a long bar.

Old photos are great to look back on. They are frozen in time and bring back old memories. Adios

A Hole in the Wall

The intruder did not enter though a window or a door, but busted through a wall. It happened quickly or so it seemed and suddenly my computer was overwelmed by an alien. I cannot comprehend what makes up a person who sits at a desk and sends out infectious cyber elments to deliberatly destroy other peoples computers. The mentality of these individuals are undoubtedly defectived to say the least. I have to wonder what kind of a miserable life they live to have nothing better to do with thier talents than to reach out and destroy. I pity them. But again I am back and will begin answering all my neglected e-mails and continue writing on my blog. Adios

A Reflection of the Past

Time has a way of reminding us of our beginning, whether or not we approve. Our genetic history is a foundation that cannot be ignored. Our characteristics are distinquishing traits not unque to us but are mirrors into the past of other people. Each day we see many aspects of what they left behind, but often ignore. I recieved an old photo from a cousin of mine that is of one of my Great, Great Grandfather's. Over One hundred and fifty years seperate us and yet the resemblence is still distinctive, the bloodline secure. I must say I am honored to favor this very important man in Arkansas History. Adios
