St. Pattys Day - March 17th

Image
By
What are all my good Irish cousins doing, besides drinking of course, to celebrate one of the most important days of the year? We are following the irish dancers to many locations where they will dance their little hearts out. Both my Colleen and Marys, Katie will be doing this as they have for years. Does anyone else have Irish or any other kind of competitive dancers in their families?

I did it for 6 montha then took the summer off. Okay I was the only one in the dance troop that took the summer off but I had fun while I was there. I couldn't imagine dancing and sweating when I could just simply sweat laying in the grass! I must say though I had fun as John Allen Cameron was our neighbour and I thought it would be fun to dance on his show. If only I hadn't taken the summer off!

Wasn't that an "Endless Summer?" When are you going to start up again?

Caitlin is in ballet but it is not competetive. The idea of attacking tutus is a bit much for us to deal with.

Have a grand old time!

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...
