Operation Red Friday - Lets keep it in Canada

Image
By
A good friend of mine who is with HBC in Toronto told me Canada is going to have a day (November 29th?-the day (Friday)after the American Thanksgiving)called Operation Red Friday to compete with Black Friday in the States. Many Canadian retailers are already included and the sales are going to be incredible, such as an HD Flat screen TV - 40" for $399. He said that so far The Brick (who started this), Sears, HBC, Canadian Tire, Best Buy, Leons and others I can't remember are going to be involved. Like the states, the stores will really early and have specials during certain hours. Those of us that live in border cities who may have headed south on this day can now stay in Canada and spend your Christmas shopping money here.
Happy Shopping!

As long as we don't fall into the TRAP of buying STUFF just because of a sale. We wouldn't want to be considered sheep who consume just because we're told to but because we have thought about what we need and have been able to wait until Red Friday to save some money and shop at home. Its not like we need to keep up with the Jones'.
Can you tell I have no spending money?

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...
