Misers aren't much
fun to live with,
but they make
great ancestors.


Your conscience may
not keep you from
doing wrong, but it
sure keeps you
from enjoying it.


The Clinton Creed:
Take Credit Not Responsibility


If at first you
don't succeed,
skydiving is not
for you.


It may be that
your sole purpose
in life is simply
to serve as
warning to others.


The sooner you fall
behind, the more
time you'll have
to catch up.


A clear conscience
is usually the sign
of a bad memory.


Wise man talk
because they have
something to say;
fools talk because
they have to say
something


Those who live by
the sword get shot
by those who don't.


Isn't it strange
that the same
people who laugh
at gypsy fortune
tellers take
economists seriously?


When an agnostic
dies, does he
go to the
"great perhaps"?


If practice
makes perfect,
and nobody's
perfect, why
practice?


Is it possible
to have déjà vu
and amnesia at
the same time?


How do you
know when it's
time to tune
your bagpipes?


If time heals
all wounds, how
come the belly
button stays
the same?


If procrastinators
had a club would
they ever have
a meeting?


Money doesn't bring
you happiness, but it
enables you to
look for it
in more places.


When you see the
handwriting on the
wall, you can bet
you're in a
public restroom.


DEAR DIARY

MONDAY:

It's fun to cook for Bob.
Today I made angel food cake.
The recipe said beat 12 eggs
separately. The neighbors were
nice enough to loan me some
extra bowls.


TUESDAY:

Bob wanted fruit salad
for supper. The recipe
said serve without dressing.
So I didn't dress. What a
surprise when Bob brought
a friend home for supper.


WEDNESDAY:

A good day for rice.
The recipe said wash
thoroughly before steaming
the rice. It seemed kinda
of silly but I took a bath.
I can't say it improved
the rice any.


THURSDAY:

Today Bob asked for salad
again. I tried a new recipe.
It said prepare ingredients,
then toss on a bed of
lettuce one hour before
serving. Which is what led
up to Bob asking me why I
was rolling around in the garden.


FRIDAY:

I found an easy recipe
for cookies. It said put
all ingredients in bowl
and beat it. There must
have been something wrong
with this recipe. When I
got back, everything was
the same as when I left.


SATURDAY:

Bob did the shopping
today and brought home
a chicken. He asked me
to dress it for Sunday
(oh boy). For some reason
Bob keeps counting to ten.


SUNDAY:

Bob's folks came to dinner.
I wanted to serve roast.
All I could find was hamburger.
Suddenly I had a flash of
genius. I put the hamburger
in the oven and set the
controls for roast. It
still came out hamburger,
much to my disappointment.


GOOD NIGHT DEAR DIARY.

This has been a very
exciting week. I am eager
for tomorrow to come so
I can try out a new recipe
on Bob. If we could just
get a bigger oven, I would
like to surprise him with
Chocolate Moose.







NOBLE LEGACY

by
Smith Gibbons Frost
June 15th, 1995

Noble is the heritage imbued, within our genes;
Noble is the legacy from templed kings and queens.

The torch of faith was handed us by noble men of vision;
The will to run inherited by noble women driven
To lay upon the alter the intire soul complete;
No lesser gift dare we bring forth to lay at Jesus' feet.

The noble name is written in our faces one by one;
God grant us strength to nobly live as those before have done.

Old Homestead

Homestead
This is a picture of the old homestead at Noble Ranch.
Thats grandmother standing in front. A few of the logs from this
homestead can still be seen in the calender picture of the ranch.
This ranch was homesteaded by my grand father Edward Alva Noble.
My father LeeGrande Noble was born and raised on this ranch
he was the youngest of 13 children. The ranch is still in the
family owned mostly by his older brothers children.


Grandma and Grampa and my father

My father and parents
This is a picture of my father or so he says
in his book of rememberence, and his mother and
father he looks to be about 5 yrs. old but your guess
is as good as mine. He was born in July 1896 so that
makes the picture about 1901 give or take a few years.

Others have said it is of his brother Eddie. But my
father in his own hand writing identifies it mom and dad. So I'll go along with
my father.



My Grandfather Edward Alva Noble

Granpa Noble
This is my grandfather when he was 30 yrs. old
right after he returned home from his mission.
I was named after him with the middle name of Edward.
This was just before he married grandma Ann Jane Peel.


Noble Family Reunion

Reunion Pic
A family reunion picture taken June 1940
at the noble ranch. The edge of Uncle Leslies
old house can be seen. That house was a mansion
to me when I was a child. If you can name all the
people in this picture e-mail me and let me know.
I will be updating this pic with some names shortly.

The Edward Alva Noble Family in 1999

Reunion Pic
Last July's family reunion picture. Turned out better than
some of us might have thought it would. The picture I mean.
I hope everybody is getting ready for "Reunion 2000" which
will be as experience to behold and participate in.

Edward Alva Noble Family in 2000

August 2000 Reunion Pic
This is the best place in the world for a family reunion.

Dad his sisters and mother
This was taken at the reunion also. (Left-Right)Armeda,
LeeGrande, Addie, Nancy, Leslie and their mother (Ann Jane)
in the front. Addie was the daughter of Fanny Adline
Edward Alva's second wife.


Thoughts on Genealogy


Genealogy: Tracing yourself back to better people.
I trace my family history so I will know who to blame.
Can a first cousin, once removed, return?
Searching for lost relatives? Win the lottery!
Every family tree has some sap in it.
Genealogy: A haystack full of needles. It's the threads I need.
Heredity: Everyone believes in it until their children act like fools.
I think my family tree is a few branches short of full bloom.
Theory of relativity: If you go back far enough, we're all related.


Family Tree

The Smith's were proud of their family tradition. Their ancestors had
come to America on the Mayflower. Their line had included Senators
and Wall Street wizards. Now they decided to compile a family
history, a legacy for the children. They hired a fine author.

Only one problem arose----how to handle that great-uncle who was
executed in the electric chair. The author said he could handle that
chapter of history tactfully.

The book appeared. It said that "Great-uncle George occupied a chair
of applied electronics at an important government institution, was
attached to his position by the strongest of ties and ... his death
came as a real shock."
