Colly Shaw Blog

Billy and I are married if anyone doesnt know that, he is also the drummer in the Colly Shaw Band.  We’ve been together for 17 years this year and have two kids.  Brooklyn and Bryston.  Brooklyn just turned 12 today and we had a rockin party for her.  It was also a goodbye to her friends since we are moving to Sexsmith.  I think we ended up having 12 kids here.  A far cry from the 18-20 that I thought were going to show up.  We had a pool party, ate hot dogs, and Dairy Queen ice cream cake and opened presents and popped about a million balloons.  I think Billy had the best time because he found himself a fork and was right in there with the kids popping the balloon with the fork.  After, the kids and Billy and Brad Kozak went outside and played with “Wilson” the volleyball, throwing it way up in the air and the kids would jump off the top diving platform into the pool.  I will add a couple of pictures to this blog so you can understand what I am talking about.  I’m sure that I will find balloon pieces all over the house but the kids had a friggen blast.  I just uploaded all the pics of the party to my laptop and the kids got to laugh at all the poses in the air while they were catching the ball.  Something to truly remember.  Man those hot dogs were good!! LOL.

Like Mother Like Son

I have successfully sold my Cichlids so I dont have to move them to Sexsmith.  I just got back and cooked shrimp and corn for supper.  I took pictures of our house for the realter today to update the pics since the Kozaks and us painted a room in about 2 hours.  Thanks very much you guys!  I couldn’t believe Lesley came over after a long hot day of doggie grooming to help paint.  She is a saint I tell ya!  The boys were a big help too and it was Nicky’s first time painting something that big.  Brad Drove Billy downtown to get more rollers and brushes to speed up the process which helped a ton. Thanks to all of you.

The Colly Shaw Band is playing this weekend @ the Sexsmith Hotel in Sexsmith , Alberta.  We forgot it was a long weekend and hopefully everyone will still stick around town to party with us and not go camping… I’m not hoping for bad weather but RAIN is okay.

Michael Rooney says he is about 2 weeks away from having “This Deep This Wide” video finished and on YouTube.

Our house is on the market for anyone interested please call Barry Seitz @ barryseitz@cranbrookagencies.com

I am going to straighten up the kitchen and wishing that people would send me messages on facebook because I really have nothing else to do in my house.  As I said we are selling it, so the house is pretty much empty.  I’m gonna miss everyone in Cranbrook, but Im looking forward to the new venture!! AYAYAYAYAY

Just got back from getting the kids from Blue Lake Camp. 26kms from Canal Flats. Canal Flats is where I blew my tire out. Just when I was going to give up changing my tire the cavalry came along and saved the day. Thanks to the town workers for helping me with that. It sure was a scary thing to happen, but I am okay and since then Billy got me two new tires. Well it’s cloudy outside so no chance of me getting any more sun today. I have nothing in my house to do. Everything is in Sexsmith. Billy wants me to stop clicking on the computer so he can go to sleep, so ciao for now.

Hello everyone,

Just letting you know that we are in the process of selling our house in Cranbrook and moving to Sexsmith, Alberta.  We are still playing in the process.  We will be in Sexsmith next week to play at the Sexsmith Hotel our new stomping grounds.  We are very excited and friends and fans in our new town are really thrilled that we are going to be permanent residence.  Going to the pool for a swim now and try and sun tan.  Man I’m pastey white.  I gotta catch up to Billy, he looks like he’s been in Hawaii for 2 weeks.  Geesh!

Michael Rooney, (guitar player in my band) is busy working on video number two and is probably thankful that he has a week on his own without any interruptions.  Good luck Mike.  Learn lots!

Hey everyone!! Just got home from Sexsmith, Alberta a 10 hour drive.  Well, I did not do the driving, Billy did and I did all the sleeping.  We went the Jasper way.  We saw some mountain goats and their little babies. I have a sweet set up in the back of the Nitro.  Because I have 2 herniated discs for 10 months now, so I have to travel with a mattress in the back and a bunch of blankets.  Now that is riding in style.  If I could only fly that way. Im off to bed now because I have a long day ahead of me.  Chat soon!
