Adam got a call around lunch time at work the other day letting him know his vehicle was found about 5 minutes away in front of Norwood Library. So he was only lost his vehicle for about 2-3 days. The police did tell him that they have a 75% recovery rate. Bad news: he lost […]

Iceland and Stolen Vehicle
by Bertha on 14. May, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
Angela called me from Iceland last night! Seems she’s having a blast travelling Iceland. Lots of Hot Springs, mostly looks like Canada except for the lava and related moss/lichen on said lava. Food not too different but hot dogs are made with lamb, not beef. And even though it’s about 10C the wind is wickedly […]
Butterdome Spring Craft Sale
by Bertha on 12. May, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
Is this weekend. Edit: It was pretty quiet when I went on Sunday. I wasn’t impressed. There were many booths but most didn’t catch my eye. Jams, chocolate, wood and metal crafts were the order of the day. Some photography and even a man selling his national bestseller… I didn’t buy. It’s the first year […]
Orthotics
by Bertha on 10. May, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
I never thought about my feet before I got orthotics. I just thought it’s normal to get sore feet after walking one hour. Low and behold, it’s not! 3 years ago I got some orthotics ($300.00! thank goodness they were covered by my health plan) and my feet have been happy ever since. (3 years […]

After postponing her first recital, Angela finally got to sing at Holy Trinity Angican Church just of Whyte Ave last night at 7pm. Beautiful church & beautiful singing! Reception with chocolate! yum!
Sharples Motocross Race
by Bertha on 30. Apr, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
This past weekend I went to watch Adam at the first Hare Scramble(through the trees) race of the season near Pincher Creek. We spent Saturday at the WildRose Motocross Association’s Blackfoot Motorcycle Park so he could practice and adjust his settings. Sunday we drove 2 more hours south to the Sharples Race. It was fun […]
My First Opera Experience
by Bertha on 25. Apr, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
Cathy managed to get free tickets to the Edmonton Opera for Verdi’s MacBeth. Last minute really. I picked Adam up from his house right afterwork and I realized I’d be going to the opera with sneakers… (I don’t do fancy shoes at work) Adam was gracious enough to wear his sneakers with his black slacks. […]
Michener Allen
by Bertha on 21. Apr, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
So, I went last weekend with Adam to my very first auction at Michener Allen. He’s thinking of getting a new truck and I got the info off Dave from Mike’s website. It was pretty entertaining to hear the auctioneers going. Those auctioneers amuse me. A truck drove in to the bay/stage with new tires […]

Level 2 Pole Dancing lessons
by Bertha on 17. Apr, 2007 in Canada 2006
My pole dance lessons at Aradia Fitness are coming to an end this week. Level three is where you work out in high heels. I’m not ready for something like that although the women say that it’s a harder workout than just standing on your tip toes. I can do about 6 spins on the […]
