On Saturday, I thought for sure that was signalling the end of the cold weather. +11C during the day. Nice. But when I went home that night it was -7C. That’s almost a 20 degree difference! now all the snow that was melted into puddles and slush is now ice coating the streets of my […]

Rascal Flatts

Were here performing at Rexall Place on Saturday. Adam and I arrived at the venue an hour early to secure good parking and avoid the crowds. We managed a sweet spot where we weren’t boxed in and got free glow sticks at the front doors! Jason Aldean was the opening act. He is pretty good, […]
Family Day Celebrations

Adam, Shauna, Zousar and I all went to see a Family Day performance at the Windspear Centre. The free performance was put on by the Association. THis is an image of one of my favourite performances. The Equadorian group had the cutest little boy “dancing” (shuffling) and I loved his cute little outfit with the […]
Happy Chinese New Year!

This past Sunday was Chinese New Year. It’s the year of the pig. I took my friend Angela to a fancy expensive new year’s party at Cha for Tea restaurant where we watched a lion dance, had “live” band music with dancing, and ate a 10 course meal. I also dressed up in my “Cheung […]

But this one’s for India! Find out what it’s like to travel around one of the hardest countries for foreign female visitors (is my grammar correct here?) Also, Andie is on the loose again! This time her travels take her to the Great Brit island across the pond. This is the trip I wanted to […]
Maps are going to be updated
by Bertha on 12. Feb, 2007 in Travel
Hey, did you notice that I tried the map feature that’s on the right hand side? It’s got saved maps but as for flagpoint markers, I’ve not had the time to place them down yet. Except for some in the Sydney area… I think it’ll be fun to mark it down on a map! It’ll […]
Dinner Theatre
by Bertha on 05. Feb, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
Yesterday I went to the dinner theatre at Mayfield. It was fantastic! The show was called “the Golden Age rocks on!” which was a sequel to a show they did last year on 50s music. There were lots of songs and dancing. At one point they had the male actors playing the female parts and […]
Baker’s Delight is in Edmonton!
by Bertha on 25. Jan, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
Now I can have a Cheesymite scroll and remember the good times! And one of the stores if just a 3 minute drive from my house! The only difference is here, they call the store Cob’s Bread instead of Baker’s Delight.
Symphony

The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra has discounted, rush tickets for students and people under 26 years of age as well as seniors. LeAnna invited Adam and myself to see the Classic Landmarks Masters Series at the Winspear Centre. It was amazing and $15.00 for a ticket is cheap, almost the price of a movie. We pissed […]
Ice, Ice Baby

Went to the Ice on Whyte Festival on Friday. The ice sculpting competition was still in progress so we were able to watch the teams in action. Had a real laugh watching one team take a car snowbrush and scrub the groin area of their statue. Here’s a pic of one of one of the […]
