Last night Adam and I went to the preseason game against the Florida Panthers. It was pretty good watching because of all the excitement. The game ended 5 to 4. I thought we came out very strong in the first period with 2 goals. Then 10 sec into the second, Panthers scored and that seemed […]

K9 Champ and stuff
by Bertha on 12. Sep, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
I went to the Championships with Charlene on Sautrday. It was very family oriented with lots of parents with kids. The competition had two parts, obedience and agility as well as a police scenario. I was impressed with how well these dogs are trained with hand signals as well as voice commands. The Trainer must […]

Harvest Fair at Ft. Edm
by Bertha on 27. Aug, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
Yesterday Maryann, Charlene, Adam and I went to Fort Edmonton Park to partake in the harvest fair celebrations. We saw a number of early 1900s machinery. One trimmed the hay, one seperated the grain from the stalk, one was an automatic wood splitter. Very spiffy! There was also a horse team pulling competition. We watched […]
Josh Groban

Ange, Winnie and I went to Josh Groban last night. The tickets were discounted so Winnie bought last minute and there were empty seats around us so we just moved to another location and sat together. It was really good. His silky voice is easy on the ears(haha). He has a very likable and approachable […]
Camping at Cadomin
by Bertha on 12. Aug, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
Adam and I went camping at Cadomin Caves near Hinton last week. It was pretty great because we saw a lot of wildlife and went on good walks. Caving at Cadomin was pretty cool. The cave is not touristy and the hour and half walk to the entrance is very steep and hard. On our […]
Camping
by Bertha on 02. Aug, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
So I’m going camping next week and I’m a bit weary because I’m not confident I’ll remember everything I’ll need to pack. Went camping once and didn’t remember anything related to cleaning dishes… not cool. Going to Cadomin Caves where Adam remembers caving when he was young. I’ve tried looking it up on the internet […]
Prairie Thunderstorms
by Bertha on 30. Jul, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
I love night time prairie thunderstorms. You get to watch the lightning dance across the sky and hear the thunder rolling as you watch the dark clouds approach from afar. It only seems to rain at night so you get to enjoy your hot, humid summer day and as you are getting ready for bed […]
Ghost Tour of Strathcona
by Bertha on 27. Jul, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
Last night Adam and I went on a Ghost Tour with LeAnna and her bf (collegue from work). This week is Historic Edmonton Week. Very overshadowed by the Capital Ex, but is way cheaper (only $5.00) and cooler than a bunch of carny rides/games. The lady who lead our group of about 34 people (including […]
A Taste of the Circus!
by Bertha on 25. Jul, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
Charlene and I went to a Circus class last night. It was awesome! We learned a the basics of trapeze, hanging hoop, hanging silk, hanging rope, trampline as well as juggling and firesticks. This class is put on every summer by the Firefly Theatre which I think is based out of the Pheonix Gymnastics Club. […]
