Hello everyone who is not on Facebook at this moment. The above mass of letters and numbers is one of the webpages to see how Kevin and I our doing in the fund raising department. So far I am at $200 or 6% of my target number.

If you look at the page it will allow you to see other members of the team. Fred is riding at the same time. I don't think he is on his little brothers team but still it will be great to see old people riding (he never reads the blog so no tattling on me).

We are sharing a room the night of the ride and the newbie gets the floor which will be better than not getting sleep while others decide to party instead of rest up.

Please have a looksie and maybe one day some of you Easterners can come out and ride with us.

I will try to update my riding experiences on the blog : today I rode up a hill then down a hill then up a hill then down a hill then up a hill then I went home. I didn't die. It was a good day.

More to come.

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...
