Ford Finscéal

Hello everyone! As the summer quickly slips away, I realize that the family reunion is not even two weeks away. At this time I shall ask all of you reading this to advise your families that Mark and I would love to see you at our house on Sunday August 19th. I have no "Ash" details as far as time etc. for Uncle John's cemetery biz. If anyone else knows, please jump in. The gathering afterwards will be at our house. Since details are sketchy at this point, I will get back to you on the time. What I wouldn't mind getting is an idea of how many people might be able to make it so I know how much food to have on hand. All are welcome - aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. Please bring what you would like to drink and a lawn chair if you think of it. We have an above-ground pool for kids or kids-at-heart who would like to swim. Looking forward to hearing from you soon, Debbie debm7232@gmail.com

There's a laughing picture of Rick Huza and Uncle Mike. And a cute pic of Aunt Milly and Aunt (sister) Liz. There should be a picture of Kathleen and David Salonen on their wedding day. Then there is a terrible picture of all of us Bochsler's on the couch in 2005. We are holding an exact position of a photograph that was taken in 1995, but I don't have that one digital, so you will have to IMAGINE a similar younger photograph. We are top row Dad, Colleen, Kathleen, and Mom, and bottom row Paul, David, Mark, and Kevin. The next photo started as Mark Kevin, David and Paul on the couch but then Pat Dean came in and ruined it. Then to get in on the action is Pat's son Jack behind the couch, and daughter Colleen beside him. Then David's son Noah climbed onto Kevin's lap, and then Amelia found herself a...

Hello Fellow Finsceallions(?), Since the BIG reunion is approaching maybe some more family biographies and photos are in order. This way people may recognize each other at the party. I nominate my sister to take up the gauntlet. Kathy if you need help with the techie side ask your kids, that's what we do and it works well.

We're expecting baby #3 Dec 28th!! We don't know if it's a boy or girl yet. We'll find out this August. We have a lot of work to do to catch up with the Diletti family, our inspiration. :) We're even growing Noah's hair to look like Zach's. :)
