FINS TO THE LEFT...FINS TO THE RIGHT....WHERE IS THIS TAKEN? LOOKS LIKE A GOOD TIME.

Cynthia says,

Great picture, you captured the Mary we know and love!!! Its good to see that Billy made it into the picture too!

Mary Westerhof says,

That is our girl!! Mary puts everything into all that she does with no grumbling,and no tears. She spreads sunshine no matter where she is goes or what she does. But I do believe that this is her most favorite place to be.

says,

My friend Mary, my favorite Parrot-head.

Michelle says,

What a great pic! Mary always brings Margaritaville with her everywhere! If only she could hand out margaritas at the same time!

Mary says,

This picture is in our backyard---we call it Margaritaville North. My husband and I are the founders of the Hamilton Ontario Parrothead Club- Our club motto is to "party with a purpose"---we have lots of fun and raise money for worthwhile charities such as MS and Big Brothers/Big Sisters- we have adopted a road in Hamilton to clean, a parrot at the Aviary in Westdale and a Manatee in the Keys- WE always welcome new members---so check out the website---hope to see you soon-----smooth sailing- Mary

Bill says,

Great pic! I only see two problems the glass is still full and the Frozen Concoction Maker is still too full. I hope you solved those problems.

Nellie Carlen says,

Always good to see my good friend Mary in her tropical yard. Can't wait to make the trip from Buffalo to party in Mary (and Doug's) tropical paradise again. - David, WNY Parrot Head Club

Marnie says,

A friend of mine used to say the most important thing we can do in life is to make life easier for each other. Mary welcomes everyone into her heart.

Gumbo & Skeeter says,

I think I have been to this place before. I remember the bird, and I know that smile that is always on Mary's face. This is a picture of the perfect Hamiltonion living the Margaritaville dream. Phins up Mary!

Flyinmojo says,

That's our Mary.
No mistaking her.
Phins Up!

george and karen says,

GREAT pic...and if you think this is good, wait to you have a chance to attend one of Mary's Parrothead parties in....yes...her back yard; along with a live band / Sunny Jim
Have a great day...

Gloria & Bob says,

As members of The Hamilton Parrot Head Club, we can confidently say that Mary and her husband Doug are absolutely true Parrot Head fans. Not only of Jimmy Buffett and the laid back life style he portrays, but of a lot of other great musicians (mostly from Florida)who come up and perform for our club at Club events or even in Mary's back yard! We do our bit for charity but mainly, it's about having fun and making new friends wherever we go. So, remember our motto ... FINS UP!

Lee and Lu-Ann says,

Way to go Mary!!
But we have heard that some people don't take Jimmy seriously enough!!! ~~~(\~~~/)~~~

Charlene says,

Awesome picture Mary, you look so relaxed.
PHins Up ~~/\~~

Little Torch Key says,

Wow! What a great photo! Wish that bar was in my backyard! The true spirit of a parrot head!!

Pat and Dan Kaley says,

Mary and Doug make our visits to Canada complete - not only with a trip to their tiki bar, but with genuine love and hospitality! Let's Phlock!

Patty and Dan Kaley - Pittsburgh, PA

Jodey - Uncle Buck says,

Looks great Mary, I'm sad we won't be seeing you and Doug this Sunday! I'm sure we will soon enough!

This picture makes me want to grow another Tiki Bar of my own...

Loves Ya!

Formerly a Tiki Bar Man!

Brad & Marcia says,

Our sweet little Canadian friend - better known as "Washboard Mary". As Jimmy himself would say, "Growing older but Up! Can't wait to share a frozen concoction with you and Doug in Key West! Luv ya!

Buffalo Bob says,

Mary's smile, a hug, and a Harvey's hambuger make Canada a beautiful place! Canada, be proud you have her. In the Parrot Head world she is our favorite Canadian.

Pam Nelson says,

Ted & Rose says,

Mary is certainly a person who should be celebrated by Hamilton,(Margaritaville Way North) Ontario - one of our favorite places to visit, eh? We always enjoy her tiki bar and the interesting assortment of Parrotheads who phlock there. We're already looking forward to CANUSA (but not the weather that will inevitably be there)!

Jimmy Pattavina, Prez, PHiP says,

Mary, see you in Key West for Meeting of the Minds in a few months. You make all of us Parrot Heads look good!

Sarah says,

Just stopping in to say hello, from Edmonton.

Auntie Mar, you look great and your yard seems to be more of an oasis than ever. The photo makes me miss you like crazy!

Love,
Sarah

Kanata says,

Nice Job, Mary,

See you soon.

Sarah says,

It's so good to see Bill! Thank you for taking such great care of him. It looks like he is having quite a good time.

Tina says,

Party with a purpose....that makes sense.

Mr. Hamilton says,

Mary is a great lady and takes a great photo,
she is a real credit to this city and her causes. She has a great yard and throws some great parties, I have been invited several times but don't go cause I might fall in the pool. I hear Billy ever time call my dad's name "Hi Frank".
Keep up the great parties Mary we all love you.

Pat Stowe says,

I wish I was from Hamilton, this looks so neat and I love Jimmie Buffet; reminds me of summer. I am looking for an email addie for someone you might know. Please return a message and I'll tell you all about it. Thanks in advance. Time to go home so I think I'll get a margarita.
