Drove out with Charlene and Dan on Saturday morning to Mt Robson, BC. Watched as Jana and Jon were married right near the mountain they love to hike so much. It was a very interesting wedding ceremony as they had a dog as the wedding bearer, the wedding party danced down the aisle to “You […]

by Bertha on 11. Aug, 2009 in Canada 2006
This is the tenth year of street hockey for the group! I can’t believe it! 9 of them were at the Duggan rink. Yay for us for going so long!! I’ve uploaded pictures to Facebook with the group of us that were there last week because Dustin was in town for the photo. I hope […]
August Long Weekend
by Bertha on 10. Aug, 2009 in Canada 2006
Long weekends are great. We need more of them. I think we should have one for every month. I don’t appreciate that June has no holiday! And although February is a shorter month we should have a national holiday there too! Why not? We work too hard in this country and don’t have enough rest. […]

I went yesterday on a ride along with the Alberta comercial vehicle enforcement officers out in Stony Plain. It was really interesting to see what vehicle enforcement is all about. Commercial vehicles have additional rules and regulations above that of passenger vehicles and the officers check vehicles to ensure they are complying to regulations. The main job out west […]
Edmonton Dragon Boat Racing
by Bertha on 15. Jun, 2009 in Canada 2006
I’ve joined dragon boat racing this year as a way to work out my upper body. Turns out it works your entire body, including your legs! I’ve felt my lower back muscles complaining but not my legs, yet. Since I’ve not done too much canoeing I think I’m actually doing really well at picking up […]
