Last night I got tickets to the hockey game from my dad who couldn’t go. Adam and I went and sat in pretty good seats. (last row of lower bowl) It was the first time Pronger was back in town after his request to transfer from Edmonton. The crowd was HARSH! Many people had signs […]
Winter Wonderland
by Bertha on 23. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
This isn’t fog or smog, its a snowstorm. This morning I awoke to a beautiful snowfall with large, fluffy flakes. I love fluffy falling flakes! So pretty. The only drawback to having about 5cm of snowfall so far today is that the drive to work is very slow and sometimes dangerous. My all Season tires […]
Canadian Finals Rodeo Pics

(Doesn’t Ange look great in the cowgirl hat?!) Friday I went to the CFR with Angela and Adam. I don’t know why it took me so long to go but it’s pretty cool to see these cowboys ride. There was this team roping event that I’d never heard of where one rider ropes a calf […]
Freezing Rain
by Bertha on 07. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006, Pictures
Last night we had freezing rain so this morning I spent a good 10 minutes scraping it off the car thereby being late for work. On the plus side, the temperature is nice and warm and today seems like a great day to be outside because it is hovering around 0C.
Motorcross

Adam took me out to a nearby motorcross track yesterday and although it was raining and muddy, it looks like a hell of a lot of fun! We were there only a little while because of the cold and rain but I think we had a good chat to and from the city (it was […]
Cirque du Soleil

The show started off with Nitza as the opening act. The music was beautiful but her voice sounded a bit flat (probably needed more warmup). Part way through her set, the mic cut out and she improvised by dancing until they got their act together and gave her a new one. Ian bought her CD […]
Brent’s Birthday Lunch

Last weekend, Brent and I went for lunch at Fiore’s. We had lots of appetizers and had a good time catching up.
Summer’s Ending
by Bertha on 10. Sep, 2006 in Canada 2006, Pictures
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 […]
Hi Yo Fringe!
by Bertha on 23. Aug, 2006 in Canada 2006, Pictures
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 […]
Retro Night @ Rollerdisco
by Bertha on 09. Aug, 2006 in Canada 2006, Pictures
Jana, Charlene, Angela and I got boogie-ing out at the rollerdisco on the north side. Pretty sweet! I knew there was one there but I’d never been cuz it’s so far away! The 45 min drive was crazy because not only did I get lost trying to get all the way up to the northside, […]
