I feel it. Summer’s coming to an end. The days are getting shorter. No more staying outside, enjoying the sunshine until 10.30pm… The other day I was helping Winnie choose potential photographs for hanging in her new house and got inspired by her beautiful flower photos and so today I tried my hand at it […]

Theatre night tonight!
by Bertha on 08. Sep, 2006 in Canada 2006
I’m skipping out on street hockey Thursdays this week because I’ve got tickets to see the Phantom of the Opera with my brother and mom. They’ve been promoting the show like mad saying that after 16 years it’s finally made it to Edmonton but I remember seeing Phantom before maybe about 12 years ago. This […]
Karaoke Night

Jana and Charlene have a dare competition going where one dares the other to do something they normally wouldn’t and they take turns once a month. This month’s dare is Karaoke in front of people. Jana, Charlene, Ange, Dustin and I all went to JD’s Polar Pubat 8pm. Unfortunately, the karaoke didn’t start until 9.30pm […]
Rain is kinda crappy
by Bertha on 31. Aug, 2006 in Canada 2006
Last night I was watching the season premiere of Celebrity Duets when all of a sudden, the skies open up and satellite signal is lost. This morning I wake up to grey skies and drizzle and it’s been like that all day. Overall, it’s been a blah day.

Lac La Nonne

On Saturday I went with Charlene and her mom and dad to their lake lot for some water activities! Whee! I got to her acreage at about 1130 (earlier than planned) and helped family unload the groceries, got a lesson on making the proper mixture for motorboat gasoline as well as watching her dad make […]
New Hostel in Town
by Bertha on 26. Aug, 2006 in Canada 2006
I can’t believe that in a city of 1 million people, we only have 1 hostel. I thought I just didn’t know where the other ones were located but no, there’s just the one HI Hostel just off Whyte. Well now, a brand new hostel is opening up downtown on Jasper Ave. I hope they […]

I headed out to Emily Murphy Park with Winnie, Dave and Dustin to help Charlene collect bugs for her entomolgy class. The park is small but right near the river’s edge and this is where we spent most of our time. Had a couple of health nuts cycle by with curious looks. it was kinda […]

Went for a couple of hours to the 25th Annual Fringe Festival with Team Chiang and Charlene. (It’s North America’s first Fringe) We met up at the Second Cup and headed out to wander the grounds. Although it was a worknight and parking was very hard to come by, I was surprised to see the […]

Creating New Contact List
by Bertha on 22. Aug, 2006 in Canada 2006
I sent Paul an email regarding old addresses on the mailing list we have for group gatherings and at the end of the email conversation, I managed to rope Paul into helping me recreate the entire page. Now there will be updated information as well as a fancy new layout! He’ll do the tough stuff […]

by Bertha on 18. Aug, 2006 in Canada 2006
What do you guys think about Ringo.com? I’ve gotten a few people asking me to sign up and share my photos with them. I just forward my blog but I can’t see their photos if I don’t sign up. I’m always weary of signing up to things that ask for my email addy but I […]
