Dave and Winnie invited me along to Anne of Green Gables at the Sherwood Park Festival Place Theatre this weekend. The small theatre production was really fun and I enjoyed it very much. It was in keeping with the CBC television movie based on the Lucy Maud Montgomery books. Getting to the theatre is a […]

by Bertha on 11. Feb, 2009 in Australia 2005, Canada 2006
I think I’ve nailed down the itineary for my trip to Australia again this year. It’ll be very short, just 2.5 weeks. I want to see some friends, my new cousin, and Darwin. I thought I could squeeze in Western Australia but it’s just such a big state that I won’t be able to see […]
Good Deed

Winnie invited me to volunteer with her at the Salvation Army to sort food.Ā Their church group volunteers once a month for various causes. I think that’s a good idea. Yay, thanks for letting me come along. Dave and Winnie were also the recipient of my first ever pineapple carrot cake attempt. I started eating it […]
San Francisco New Year

Visited with a couple of people I met while travelling during the first week of this year. Stayed at my friend Obrie’s apartment 2 blocks from the harbour on the sheltered side of San Fran Bay. She was a great hostess taking me around to all the touristy things and making dinner! I also spent […]
Las Vegas Chrsitmas

Well, my week long family vacation to LV was entertaining. The best highlight was that my parents joined my brother and I for Indoor Skydiving something I did last time I came to LV. My dad was hesitant about the whole idea and I don’t know what got him to change his mind… watching others […]
Last Canopy Service

I went to the last service at the Canopy Christian Community today forgetting both my camera and my cell phone so there are no pictures. š Service was awesomely moving and everyone stayed for a potluck lunch afterwards. They were down to about 20 or so people in the last 4 months or so. Unbelievable […]

Charlene and I have put in a couple of hours so far in to your Christmas Elf-ness at Santa’s Anonymous last week. Drop in Christmas present wrapping is Tuesdays, Thrusdays and Saturdays from 9am – 9pm. There are certain rules but common sense is really what it’s all about. The main thing is that you […]
Birthday 08
by Bertha on 07. Dec, 2008 in Canada 2006
Had a small little potluck party last night for my birthday. Justin and Theresa, Ian, Charlene and Dan watched the hockey game and then played Wii with Calvin. I think that first Wii experience convinced Theresa that she wants one for herself! Dan even made this casserole for the first time and it turned out […]
Moving and Poker

I helped Justin and Theresa move to their new home today. They had lots of help from friends and family and we made it in one trip. Theresa’s dad has a large truck and trailer and fit basically everything in both! It was great because it was so organized and everyone was really eager. Their […]

by Bertha on 24. Nov, 2008 in Canada 2006
I didn’t do as many shoeboxes as last year for Operation Christmas ChildĀ but I think I filled the boxes more. Dollarama is the best store ever for this kind of thing! I also found some school workbooks on sale at Staples for like 0.47 each! There are drop in times for wrapping presents for Santa’s […]
