This is my 17 year old daughter Colleen practising before her first Championship Level dance competition on Saturday. She was up against many world qualifiers and her goal was not to be in last place. She accomplished that!I've also included a picture
of her just before she went on stage with her friend.

The girl has to win...SHE DANCES ON WALLS! That has to be from Jim's side of the family, Fords only dance on floors!

You think I would have mentioned her WONDERFUL DANCING before anything else!
When does she dance with Micheal Flateley (Flattely? Flatulence?)?

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...
