Buffalo St. Patricks Day Parade



This is a couple photos of my daughter Colleen and her friends on their Irish Dance schools float. They were, as you can see dressed as nuns. Colleen is the one in the middle of the three and on the left sitting.

Isn't March the 9th St. Luigi's Day? He was famous for teachings using pasta wasn't he? He cheesed off a local magistrate by knocking his gnocchi and was later found martyred in macaroni and marinara. That was in 1109ad making this his 900th anniversary.

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone.

Bochsler Family Update

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.

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...
