Hello Everybody

How is everyone doing? Funny as ever, I see. Brian Matthews and his wife Louise were in town staying with my Dad last week. They came to my house for dinner on Wednesday night. It was great to see Brian and meet Louise. We had a really nice visit. So, who's coming down next? We all have plenty of room!! There's still a bunch of us down here who would like to try to make it up to you guys in August. Hopefuuly we'll make it!

Nice to hear you had visitors.
I remember being down there in 1991 and having dinners all over the place, it was a great time.
We don't get many visitors out here and the ones who do come we send home telling people how terrible it is out here. The idea is, it keeps the crowds down at any one time.

Remembering Sean

The remaining Barrys. This picture was taken at Sean's funeral. Sean's absence is definitely felt. The last time I saw Sean, was about a year ago, the end of March '06. My husband, Brian and I showed up unannounced at his place and he graciously entertained us. If he had other plans, he never mentioned them. My brother, Brian has a pub in Camrose, AB. Sean apparently would stop in daily and drink coffee, wanting to stay in touch. Brian had a new year's eve party a couple of month previous, so I asked Sean if he'd gone. He said no, he'd quit drinking and realized that a new years eve party would probably not be conducive to achieving his goals. He'd also recently quit smoking. I remember thinking that was a lot to give up all at once, but of course didn't want to say anything to discourage him. Sean also had a dream to buy himself all new camping gear and go on a camping trip. This he did at the end of the summer. After achieving his goals, his heart gave...
