Jeremy and Marie
Martin and his twin sister Maja.
(aka The Princess and his sister)
Anne Marie and Stephanie
Anne Marie and hubby Dave
Instant family -- just add Vern
Sharon, The Playwright and The Daughter
(that would be Vern and Holly to those that don't
speak the goofy language that Sharon & The Barb
Communicate in)
Jason (the most brilliant man on the planet) and Trish
(The Barb was rude enough to make him examine her computer
during the party because she was stuffing the computer full of tv
shows and couldn't get them to empty -- he was genius -- pure genius)
Three ladies dancing
Trish, Megan, Michalene
Sharon and her politically incorrect coat
(but isn't it to die for?)
Bob and Gail (who is now off trekking around South Africa)
Vanessa, Robin and Oscar
Vanessa with Vern peeking over her shoulder
Now, Vern will protest (and he often does), but I say
does he not look like a Jewish Rabbi in that hat and those glasses?
I mean really, doesn't he look like an escapee from the set
of "Fiddler on the Roof"? -- NOTE: this is a long-running
tease that The Barb has had with Vern since waaayyyy back.
Dorothy pets Sharons coat
(and what do you bet it also needs a saucer of milk every night)
Wendy
Bettinska Kolodjezstein
The Barb sits in front of her designer stockings and
handmade topiaries (this year's new decorations)
The Suishi Girls!
Betty, Barb, Gail, Robin, Vanessa
Michalene, The Barb, Megan

Bob Foo's Potluck Brunch, Dec 17
Bob Foo hosted a wonderful, intimate lunch
Where we all stuffed our faces to the point
of immobility (well, at least The Barb did)
Here are photos of the event (and Ms. Sharon was
there too).
Bob, The Barb, DJ

Tis the season to be eating. We decided that there clearly were not enough occasions to stuff our faces. So, we gathered more girls together for a pre-xmas suishi at some place on 109th (The Barb started losing track of where she was eating). So here is more suishi with the girls!
Sheilagh and Lynda

The sisters celebrate together. My sister Bea came home for xmas. So, she and Grace (my other sister) came over to eat, have fun and generally dish the parents out of earshot!

The Barb and Bea
Watching paint dry. Actually we were all playing on The Barb's new "media" computer editing a DVD. The Barb is not the only Mah into the TV and DVDs.
Christmas Eve at Marie Gynane's. The Barb, Bea, Dorothy and Vanessa all ventured out to Marie's annual xmas eve eat-a-thon. This year she had her bathroom all re-done (its always something lovely every year).

An Evening At Ron and Darold's. A bunch of us trooped out to Sylvan Lake to have some holiday cheer with the boys. We were supposed to go on a Sleigh Ride, but The Barb is just as happy to sit 'round the fire chatting (all that nature and hay-fever in the freezing cold was not her idea of paradise). Have a look-see at some of the festivities.
The cameras all come out. Shutterbug Ron starts shooting
Allan and Betty
Dennis, Jan and Allan
Darold & The Barb figure out the fold out couch
The group gathers round. (from left)

Allan (with Izzy), Jan (pronounced "Jan" -- sitting), Betty, Ron
Dennis and Allan
The Barb must be wearing "Eau de 'Mo" as she is certainly attracting them!
(she was also very bad -- she broke their crockpot lid -- too much party!)
I have no idea what Darold is up to.
(same people as in the other photo except
that Vanessa is on the end
-- and Ron is taking the photo)
Paul dropped by the following day to say "hello"
The King and I. Some friends of The Barb were in the Festival Place production of King and I. Michalene, Megan and The Barb travelled the very familiar road to Festival Place to see the production.
Megan, Martin (with very dark skin and hair) and Michalene
Ron P, Dee and Martin (all with the same strange hair and skin affliction
Michalene, Carolyn, and The Barb
(Carolyn was especially outstanding in the show!)
Visiting with the Harris'. The Barb went over to exchange presents with DJ and Van on January 1, 2005.
