Last night I went with Charlene, Jana and Johnathan to the Oilers game against Calgary. We had seats in the gold section (the lower bowl) but the best part was we had Club Access! That means we can go downstairs to the entrance of the Oilers Locker room and watch them come in and out. […]

K9 Champ and stuff
by Bertha on 12. Sep, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
I went to the Championships with Charlene on Sautrday. It was very family oriented with lots of parents with kids. The competition had two parts, obedience and agility as well as a police scenario. I was impressed with how well these dogs are trained with hand signals as well as voice commands. The Trainer must […]
Harvest Fair at Ft. Edm
by Bertha on 27. Aug, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
Yesterday Maryann, Charlene, Adam and I went to Fort Edmonton Park to partake in the harvest fair celebrations. We saw a number of early 1900s machinery. One trimmed the hay, one seperated the grain from the stalk, one was an automatic wood splitter. Very spiffy! There was also a horse team pulling competition. We watched […]
A Taste of the Circus!
by Bertha on 25. Jul, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
Charlene and I went to a Circus class last night. It was awesome! We learned a the basics of trapeze, hanging hoop, hanging silk, hanging rope, trampline as well as juggling and firesticks. This class is put on every summer by the Firefly Theatre which I think is based out of the Pheonix Gymnastics Club. […]
Bon Jovi

Last night Charlene and I had a great time at Bon Jovi. I think she might have lost her voice today from all the screaming… It was a fiasco to get there, just because we had a big plan to meet and take the LRT to avoid the traffic but that just didn’t work out […]
Charlene’s Bday
by Bertha on 10. Jul, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
Charlene had a Vertically Inclined Bday party last Friday where we got a lesson and did some top rope climbing. About half the participants hadn’t done climbing before (incl. Adam) but that didn’t stop them from trying. Our guides(?), Ed and Will, were humourous and entertaining and very watchful. We did some bouldering before they […]
Air Supply Review
by Bertha on 06. Jul, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures
The venue was a temporary tent and very hot. What I thought was assigned seating turned out to be general seating as we realized folding chairs were just zip-tied together into rows. Had we known we might have gone in earlier. The Ticketmaster website implied assigned seating just by highlighting a section but not two […]
Smith, AB Cross Country race
by Bertha on 25. Jun, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
Sunday was raceday just outside Smith, AB. Adam and I drove up 2.5hrs that morning from Edmonton and on the way there saw a fox on the side of the road. He looks scrawny but he’s got take away in his mouth. You can see it in this picture: remember to click on pics for […]
Motocross video from Fisher Creek
by Bertha on 13. Jun, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures
Here’s a video I shot over the weekend of Adam’s race. The first is the starting line. Adam is about the 2nd from the right. Everyone’s engines are off, straddles their front tire facing backward on the bike. Once the horn sounds, they must rush around, start their bike and go! Some have electric (push […]
