Is summer coming?

The past few days were crazy weather wise. Heavy thunderstorms, hail and lightning. Last night was more of the same. The hail was not quite as big as golf balls but Ian thought the wall to his room was gonna come crashing down. Earlier this week 5 people were hospitalized and 2 died (one unborn […]
Crop night at Treasured Memories
by Bertha on 18. Jun, 2007 in Canada 2006, Scrapbooking
Friday night was crop night at Treasured Memories, one of my local scrapbooking haunts. What was supposed to be a 10 person, 6 pm to midnight crop became a 5 person, 10pm crop. The only hardcore people were Angela and myself. We had snacks and got pizza delivered. And many people learned about the store. […]
Motocross video from Fisher Creek

Here’s a video I shot over the weekend of Adam’s race. The first is the starting line. Adam is about the 2nd from the right. Everyone’s engines are off, straddles their front tire facing backward on the bike. Once the horn sounds, they must rush around, start their bike and go! Some have electric (push […]

Here’s some pictures I meant to put up awhile ago. These are the pics from Movies on the Square. Ghostrider=SUCKS! Adam was so bored and probably cold (we weren’t dressed properly) that he went off in the middle of the movie to entertain/warm himself.

Did you know that 2007 was the Canadian year of the Bison? That’s what we discovered on our way into the Elk Island National park on Saturday.

Porcupine Hills and Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump
by Bertha on 22. May, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
This past long weekend (Victoria Day) was pretty eventful for me. I went with Adam to his second race of the year at Porcupine Hills. This was a cross country; 98km winding through trees, up and down steep hills and shale. The race was about half an hour farther than the famous world heritage listed […]
Bikram Yoga
by Bertha on 20. May, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
On Tuesday, Shauna and I signed up for a week long trial of Bikram Yoga. It’s that Hot Yoga. I thought since I’m done my pole dancing classes I’d try something different and boy is this different from any yoga I’ve practiced before. You need to eat at least an hour+ before class and be […]
