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 […]

VegaTesting
by Bertha on 30. Aug, 2007 in About Me
I’m having problems with foot and hand joint pain for about 6 months now. I’ve gone to a podiatrist who has perscribed physio and it’s working out well. I’ve almost pain free but I’ve talked to other people and they’ve kinda made me realize that physio may just be treating the symptoms and not curing […]
Harvest Fair at Ft. Edm

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 […]
G’bye and G’luck
by Bertha on 26. Aug, 2007 in Travel
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 […]
Josh Groban
by Bertha on 15. Aug, 2007 in Canada 2006
Ange, Winnie and I went to Josh Groban last night. The tickets were discounted so Winnie bought last minute and there were empty seats around us so we just moved to another location and sat together. It was really good. His silky voice is easy on the ears(haha). He has a very likable and approachable […]
Camping at Cadomin
by Bertha on 12. Aug, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
Adam and I went camping at Cadomin Caves near Hinton last week. It was pretty great because we saw a lot of wildlife and went on good walks. Caving at Cadomin was pretty cool. The cave is not touristy and the hour and half walk to the entrance is very steep and hard. On our […]

Camping
by Bertha on 02. Aug, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
So I’m going camping next week and I’m a bit weary because I’m not confident I’ll remember everything I’ll need to pack. Went camping once and didn’t remember anything related to cleaning dishes… not cool. Going to Cadomin Caves where Adam remembers caving when he was young. I’ve tried looking it up on the internet […]
