So, Australia, here I come again! This time I’m going to see Darwin as well as the fam in Adelaide and friends in Sydney. Yay! Angela and Dustin are still on the books for August/September unless Ange finds a job after graduating this April. Did you know that if your passport is within 6 months […]

Anne of Green Gables at Festival Place
by Bertha on 24. Feb, 2009 in Canada 2006
Dave and Winnie invited me along to Anne of Green Gables at the Sherwood Park Festival Place Theatre this weekend. The small theatre production was really fun and I enjoyed it very much. It was in keeping with the CBC television movie based on the Lucy Maud Montgomery books. Getting to the theatre is a […]
Australia Part 2 and Other Travel Plans
by Bertha on 11. Feb, 2009 in Australia 2005, Canada 2006
I think I’ve nailed down the itineary for my trip to Australia again this year. It’ll be very short, just 2.5 weeks. I want to see some friends, my new cousin, and Darwin. I thought I could squeeze in Western Australia but it’s just such a big state that I won’t be able to see […]
Good Deed
by Bertha on 02. Feb, 2009 in Canada 2006
Winnie invited me to volunteer with her at the Salvation Army to sort food. Their church group volunteers once a month for various causes. I think that’s a good idea. Yay, thanks for letting me come along. Dave and Winnie were also the recipient of my first ever pineapple carrot cake attempt. I started eating it […]
Last Canopy Service
by Bertha on 14. Dec, 2008 in Canada 2006
I went to the last service at the Canopy Christian Community today forgetting both my camera and my cell phone so there are no pictures. đ Service was awesomely moving and everyone stayed for a potluck lunch afterwards. They were down to about 20 or so people in the last 4 months or so. Unbelievable […]
Christmas Charity and Cheer
by Bertha on 11. Dec, 2008 in Canada 2006
Charlene and I have put in a couple of hours so far in to your Christmas Elf-ness at Santa’s Anonymous last week. Drop in Christmas present wrapping is Tuesdays, Thrusdays and Saturdays from 9am – 9pm. There are certain rules but common sense is really what it’s all about. The main thing is that you […]
Birthday 08
by Bertha on 07. Dec, 2008 in Canada 2006
Had a small little potluck party last night for my birthday. Justin and Theresa, Ian, Charlene and Dan watched the hockey game and then played Wii with Calvin. I think that first Wii experience convinced Theresa that she wants one for herself! Dan even made this casserole for the first time and it turned out […]
Moving and Poker
by Bertha on 30. Nov, 2008 in Canada 2006
I helped Justin and Theresa move to their new home today. They had lots of help from friends and family and we made it in one trip. Theresa’s dad has a large truck and trailer and fit basically everything in both! It was great because it was so organized and everyone was really eager. Their […]
Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Campaign and Santa’s Anonymous 08
by Bertha on 24. Nov, 2008 in Canada 2006
I didn’t do as many shoeboxes as last year for Operation Christmas Child but I think I filled the boxes more. Dollarama is the best store ever for this kind of thing! I also found some school workbooks on sale at Staples for like 0.47 each! There are drop in times for wrapping presents for Santa’s […]
New Kids on the Block Reunion Tour
by Bertha on 19. Nov, 2008 in Canada 2006
I had a blast at the New Kids concert last night. The gals and I got there early, found our seats and anxiously awaited the start of the concert. The older Kids didn’t dissappoint! Plenty of screaming 30-something year old women in the crowd rekindling their love affair with the Beantown boys (and a couple of […]
