Today Gladys put the finishing touches on our Christmas tree - I think! She thinks there may still be a few bare spots! :-) As well there is a photo with ornaments with Cheryl's photo on it and to her left is her Uncle Terry Brennan who passed away in July. Below is a photo ornament of Gladys's godson Stephen Brenton who tragically passed away on December 20 of 2003.
These lovely photos are complements of Gladys's nephew Sheldon Brennan, his wife Pam and their children Jakob & Brayden of Hamilton, Ontario.
This beautiful tree comes via Gladys's nephew Kevin Sharpe who is a 3rd year computer engineering student at Memorial University in St. John's. Kevin says, "This is my budget "university student Christmas tree" that I have in my apartment in town. haha" Awesome, Kevin.
Here we have Gladys's sister Mary & her husband Lem's tree in St. John's, Newfoundland.
Here we have some photos of Gladys's niece Corinna and her husband Stewart & their pets from Caledonia, Ontario.

As you can see I haven't published anything here since January of 2016. I suppose we were going through a difficult time and once I got away from it, it has been hard to get back into it. I have thought about it many times over the past few years and so I have made the jump. I managed to find my login information and I'm off and running. Perhaps being confined to home as a result of the pandemic this will provide something for me to do rather than reading or doing a crossword or a sudoku.
We have been hearing of so many of you having already put up your Christmas decorations so for my first project I will send out an email later today to members of the Brennan and Stacey clans as well as friends of Cheryl to ask them to send me a few photos of their Christmas trees or decorations as well as photos of their families or friends. As I get them I will post them here on the blog for you all to see. I know Cheryl would love that as she did when I did something similar to this in the past. So I will be looking forward to hearing from all of you out there. P. S. Photos of animals including dogs are welcome too.
As well I will post a list of places that I hear from across this great country as well as from other parts of the world. I look forward to hearing from everyone.
All the best for a safe and happy holiday season as well as a healthy and prosperous New year in 2021.
Stay safe!
Cheers
Barry
