Now I can have a Cheesymite scroll and remember the good times! And one of the stores if just a 3 minute drive from my house! The only difference is here, they call the store Cob’s Bread instead of Baker’s Delight.

The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra has discounted, rush tickets for students and people under 26 years of age as well as seniors. LeAnna invited Adam and myself to see the Classic Landmarks Masters Series at the Winspear Centre. It was amazing and $15.00 for a ticket is cheap, almost the price of a movie. We pissed […]

Went to the Ice on Whyte Festival on Friday. The ice sculpting competition was still in progress so we were able to watch the teams in action. Had a real laugh watching one team take a car snowbrush and scrub the groin area of their statue. Here’s a pic of one of one of the […]

Has a display of vintage bikes that looked really cool. Some I swear look like the ones you’d see in War movies in Europe. There were also Vespas, Motocross and regular Motorcycles. Here’s a pic of Adam on a limited edition KTM.

Legislature Lights

I like lights. You know the strings of them you can put on trees during Christmas, or the kind that cascade down like icicles. I think they look pretty! Here’s a pretty pic of the Legislature grounds I took last night. I walked from the University area to the government house, enjoyed all the wonderful […]
