Tyler's 17th Birthday

Hi all:

Just a note to give you a couple of photo's of Tyler's 17th birthday on April 15. Gladys and I visited with them all for some pizza and cake to help him celebrate.

As you can see from the photos his hair is growing back fairly fast. I suppose it'll be long and curly soon. We can only wish.

Also on Wednesday, the day before his birthday he was successful in his driver's road test so I guess there's one more out there for us to look out for. He did take the Driver Education program and I'm sure he will be a very responsible driver. Good luck.

Enjoy the photos. Hope all is well with everyone out there.

Regards.

Barry

P.S. My camera was just a little slow on the first photo and I missed the blowing of the candle - jus got the cloud of smoke left over.

Mom's 87 Birthday April 3

Hi everyone:
Below are a couple of photos of mother taken on her 87th birthday on Saturday April 3. Gladys and I took her out to supper as Joan was working and Bernadette and Boyd were in St. John's for the weekend. She had her usual liver and onions at Kelly's Restaurant.
Other than that not much news. Hope you are all having a quiet Easter at home.
Barry

P.S. Notice that Tyler's hair is growing back. You can notice the difference in 2 days.

Happy Birthday Kevin!!

Shave For the Brave - The Deed is Done!!

Hi everyone:
Well, as promised here are the photos of Tyler taken before, during and after taking part in the Shave For the Brave which was held at his school this afternoon. Gladys was off work this afternoon so she went along to take a few photos which came out rather well.
Many thanks to all of you for donating to Tyler and his final total was around $600. Gladys said that one other boy had around $570 while a young girl had over $1300 pledged. Once I hear a final total from their school I'll pass the information along.
Enjoy the photos and here's hoping that all of you have a nice Easter.
Cheers.
Barry

P.S. You may send an email to Tyler at the following address. I inadvertently put an incorrect address in my earlier email. tyler_king_7@hotmail.com

Shave For the Brave

Hi all:
Below is a couple of photos of Tyler who is taking part in an upcoming fundraiser called Shave For the Brave which is being held at his school Marystown Central High on Thursday April 1. In this fundraiser students show their support for this cancer research fundraiser by having their heads shaved. They also collect funds from people to sponsor them in this very important endeavour. He is looking for all your support.
You can do so by contacting him at 709-279-5344 or by contacting me by phone or email.
We are all touched in some way by this dreadful disease and hopefully the funds raised here will help in finding a cure. You have to admit that he has quite a head of hair to get shaved. I'm sure he'll be happy to not have to wash, comb and dry this mop for a while. I will post some afther the shave photos for you all to see after the event. Along with them I'll post a few photos of Mom taken on her 87th birthday.

Also I'll pass along birthday greetings to the following:
April 1 Terry Stacey
April 2 Bob Stacey
April 3 Mother - 87
April 4 Kevin
April 7 Bernadette

Cheers.
Barry

Happy New Year 2010 from Marystown

Hi All:
Happy New Year from all of us here. We had a nice Christmas and a great little get together here at our house on New Year's Eve with quite a few of Gladys's family as well as Mom and Boyd.

Cheryl leaves tomorrow to fly back to Toronto. We had a very good Christmas weather wise with absolutely no snow. I've included a couple of photos I took this morning showing the bare ground here in Marystown. Not many times you could see such conditions on January 2.

Enjoy the photos. I do hope you all enjoyed the holidays and that you will have a happy, healthy and prosperous year in 2010.

Cheers,
Barry

Merry Christmas From Marystown 2009

Hi all:

Here's to a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Propserous New Year in 2010. We do hope you all had a nice Christmas and didn't eat too much - at least we hope you enjoyed it!

All is well here in Marystown. Cheryl got home on Dec. 23 and returns to Toronto on Jan 3. We had dinner at home along with Mom, Joan and Tyler. Bernadette and Boyd spent Christmas in St. John's with Therese as she could only get a couple of days off work.

We had a green Christmas here for the first time in a few years. The weather is quite good with temperaturs hovering around the freezing mark. There is lots of company for us as most of Gladys's family are around the Marystown area for Christmas. So we will be visiting and they will stop by here too.

I hope all is fine with everyone and I look forward to hearing from you guys. Send some photos too. Below are some photos of our tree along with some of Mom, Joan and Tyler taken over the last couple of days.

Enjoy.

Cheers,

Barry
