Adam’s going to be a father soon. He bought a Basset Hound puppy! I went with him to see the mama and the babies and he picked out a tricolour female. The Pet Expo was this weekend. Adam and I were surprised when we saw a black bear and Betty the Grizzly Bear there. Many […]

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 […]

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 […]

Has a display of vintage bikes that looked really cool. Some I swear look like the ones you’d see in War movies in Europe. There were also Vespas, Motocross and regular Motorcycles. Here’s a pic of Adam on a limited edition KTM.
Winter Weather Update

for Vicki and Mis_n. This past week we had blizzard warnings on Wednesday and Thursday. A low pressure system was to bring in Arctic air and dump 10cm of snow overnight on Wednesday. The temperature did drop to the -20Cs and 15cm fell over the course of the warning. My co-worker, who is from Vancouver […]
Legislature Lights
by Bertha on 09. Jan, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
I like lights. You know the strings of them you can put on trees during Christmas, or the kind that cascade down like icicles. I think they look pretty! Here’s a pretty pic of the Legislature grounds I took last night. I walked from the University area to the government house, enjoyed all the wonderful […]

The housing project that was in jeopardy of being cancelled has now been completed and pictures are available for viewing. Less carnage than previous years, there was only the implication of death. Highlights of the completed project include a large high density high rise building: -A lovely building with large upstairs balcony. Please ignore the […]
