Here I am using Angela’s laptop using the free internet in her and Dustin’s room. We are staying at the most famous intersection in Japan. All 17 people arrived and Vicki lead us all to the hotel. Ate some cool Japanesey food already. We had a dish that looked like calamari to me but it […]

Japan is coming up soon. I fly out on Wednesday and come back 10 days later. After the wedding, I’ve made plans (as in we said we would so something) to travel with team Chiang around Kyoto so it should be a good time. I’m not super excited but I hope it will be as […]

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. […]

Oilers PreSeason

Last night Adam and I went to the preseason game against the Florida Panthers. It was pretty good watching because of all the excitement. The game ended 5 to 4. I thought we came out very strong in the first period with 2 goals. Then 10 sec into the second, Panthers scored and that seemed […]
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 […]

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 […]

Angela and Dustin are moving to Ontario where Ange will start her Masters Degree in a couple weeks. They have opted to do a cross Canada drive (actually going thru the US is faster so I think they’re doing that) but I”m sure they’re hoping to see some sights of Canada as they go along. […]
Planning Japan
by Bertha on 20. Aug, 2007 in Japan 2007, Travel
Am looking at stuff to do while visiting Japan for Vicki’s wedding. Dave and Winnie, Ange and Dustin are going too. (I think) I’ll be there for 10 days just because I feel guilty taking more time off since I already took 4 days earlier this month to go camping. I hope I can see […]
