200th Blog and a Birthday

By
Today we have arrived at 200 entries of the blog. Thanks Pat for getting it started.
Today we are also celebrating the 200th birthday of Kevin Ford, the older Kevin Ford. Oops I mean the 46th birthday of the founder, manager, chief repairman and go to guy of Coast Gas Fireplace and Repair.
Happy Birthday cousin, much older cousin.
Today he is to be golfing and generally lazing about. Don't let him know this but he deserves the break. Don't any of you tell him this because it will go to his head and he will be impossible to live with.
Tomorrow is my son Kyle's birthday and for years Kevin has been LIEING to him , telling Kyle that he was really born on the 26th and that we had been lieing to him. This is what I have to deal with.

How come nobody is commenting on Kevin LIEING to my son causing stress and undo hardship on the boys poor psychie? Kathy, what about the sugar levels of my son's heart? I know you called on Kyle's B-day but he hung up on you before we knew it. We asked him two seconds later what you had said to which he responded " I forgot." Now doesn't that just warm the cockles or what?

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!) :( ...

Remembering Sean

By
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...
