Well, I'm off to Korea for a year!

2010 Barrett Reunion

Just in case anyone is reading this blog, the Barrett reunion will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania next August. The Barrett Family Reunion is held on the first Saturday in August, and Jackie and Marietta have graciously (under no pressure whatsoever from Aunt Kacky, Aunt Betty, and Uncle Paddy!) "volunteered" to host the reunion.

As our family grows and expands across the country, and the world, it gets harder and harder to get together to share memories, talk about our kids, grandkids, talk about who's doing what, and for me to update the Family Tree! I know, many of you have said I should be on FaceBook to get all this information, but there is nothing like a face to face conversation to listen to a story, capture the details, and memorialize it.

Anyway, mark your calendar now for August 7th, get your GPS set for Pittsburgh, and come to the reunion. Pass this along to all your family, see you there.

Oh Boy

Jimmy, I just read your note about being posted to Korea. Be safe. If there is anything we can do for you, Sally or Brennan, just let us know.

I just got orders to Korea for a year. I leave in Jan. and I plan on returning to Mountain Home, Idaho afterwards.

Brennan and I will be home for the Eagan camping experience in August. Sally will stay here and mind the fort.

2009 Barrett Reunion

The Barrett Reunion will be held in Buffalo this year on Saturday, August 1st. It will be at the home of Andy and Kelly Cousins. Any questions, please contact Lizabeth Cousins at (716) 735-7944.

Can't wait to see everyone!

Hello, Anybody out there?

So tomorrow marks the opening of the Tuesday night concerts at ArtPark, with none other than the Reverend Horton Heat. Alas, I had great plans to attend, but Knights of Columbus duties prevent me from doing so. Come to think of it, the last time I saw the Rev in Buffalo (what was the name of that place?), I came from a Knights function where I met the Bishop of Buffalo. So in one night not only did I meet the Bish, I saw the Rev. To say nothing of seeling the Legendary Shack Shakers.....how could one ever forget that!

We're getting ready for the wedding, coming sooner than we can believe it. Fresh coats of paint everywhere, new floor in the dining room (yes David, I did it myself!..well, with the help of my good friend Sam and his tools). Still don't have the bathroom done, but we're getting there. Looking forward to seeing friends and family.

Andy graduated from college, now has his Bachelor Degree in Media Production. Anybody need a sports writer, producer, on-air personality? He's ready willing and able. We're really proud of him!

So let's hear from you! What's going on? Yeah, I know I'm not on facebook, but let's hear from you.

So, what was the bet?
