Welcome

Greetings from Dunnville, Ontario, Canada.

Thank you for stopping by to visit my personal website. Here you will find no algorithms, no ads, and no AI slop. Just fun and interesting stuff about me, my family history, and my interests & hobbies. This site attempts to blend the look and feel of a modern and retro website. That means animated GIFS like the one below are totally a thing here. Yes, you can (and should) actually sign my guestbook, too.

Alice Mary (Baker) Power’s Diary
