Grandma Catherine

Uncle Pat is in South Carolina visiting Grandma and sent this picture from his cell phone to my dad. Dad mentioned posting it here for everyone.

Well,
It's nice to see a picture of her!

In her face I see her self of course, you can tell it's her, but I also see Nance O'brien, and something about her hair reminds me of Aunt Margaret Ford (Granddaddy's sister)

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.

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!) :( ...

Mark Simmonds is home!

I just called Fenwick to see how Mark was and i was surprised to see he came home today (Tuesday). Mark had a Angioplasty. He is very tired and happy to be home.

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...
