Mom and Freds Birthday party

By





August 23rd was my mothers (Eleanor's)83rd birthday and it was also my brother Freds birthday. My sister Loretto had a great party at her trailer at Sherkston. Which is located on lake Erie in Port Colbourne Ont. Most of our family were able to attend.
Yesterday Sept 8th was my parents 56th wedding anniversary.

Happy Birthday Aunt Eleanor and MUCH older cousin Fred.
Kathy and Tom Diletti also have September 8th as their wedding day. They have only been married 17 years, which is HUGE by todays standards but compared to 56 years, they're novices, just starting even!
Happy Anniversary to both.

Congrats to both Aunt Eleanor and Fred. Wow 56 years!! Standing ovation of the internet!! We're just beginners compared to Aunt Eleanor, Uncle Ed, Aunt Jackie and Uncle Bernie. They too have celebrated their Anniversary and I believe its 51 years. Keep up the good work!!!

Actually, it's 52 today but they were trying to take credit for 53! We celebrated yesterday with a family dinner. It's great to see that all the anniversary couples are still having fun. September must be a good month.

Congrats to all the September birthdays and anniversaries in this family of ours.
Has anyone a total number of members of this family? The St. Catharines Fords number 44 so far.

Bochsler Family Update

By
Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...

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...
