Mish, Rayleen and I are trying out No China for this month. We are pledging to not purchase any items made in China or from China. The idea is about unfair labour standards, etc. Mish wanted to go for a whole year but I only committed to one month just to see how it goes. I […]
Moving Day to Charlene’s
by Bertha on 08. Jul, 2008 in Canada 2006
I moved this weekend to the basement of Charlene’s place. I’ve yet to move a few more larger items and odd and ends. I didn’t pack a lot beforehand but what I did pack was well organized and labelled. Charlene helped me move the big stuff on Saturday, and we just finished getting everything into the […]
Happy Canada Day 08!
by Bertha on 07. Jul, 2008 in Canada 2006
Ya, this post is so late! I helped Adam move to his new home on Saturday of the long weekend. Then afterwards, I went to Paul’s pot luck. I had a good time and watched people play Rock Band. I didn’t play myself but I think it would be fun… I’ve only ever played Guitar […]

Yesterday afternoon around 2 pm I was driving my car when the light went off about my coolant temperature. I was in no postion to be pulling over and checking it and I had lots of driving to do for work that I wasn’t going to do anything immediately. At a red light, steam started […]

oh Yes, I heard it on the radio! New Kids on the Block are coming to Edmonton! November 18th is their concert date here. I have to say, I was a closet fan in Junior High. I’m sure a number of you were! Angela, I wish you were here so you can come with me! […]

by Bertha on 03. Jun, 2008 in Canada 2006
On Sunday I went with Adam to BUMP harescramble out near Busby. This 15km race was very organized with a concession stand, outhouses, and even a program! One of Adam’s co-workers came out to race as well. He has an old bike and raced in his work coveralls and managed to complete one lap before […]

This Saturday Adam and I went out to see Charlene compete in the Aboriculture Tree Climbing competition. We met Beau, Christie, Jana and John as well as her parents and Daniel out there.

Doc Walker and Willie Mac
by Bertha on 21. May, 2008 in Canada 2006
Charlene bought me a ticket to go see Doc Walker with her, her sister and mom. Willie Mac, from Texas, was quite entertaining as warm up acts go. He has this Elvis style leg shake and hip shake going on when he plays his guitar. That left leg just can’t stay still! You can’t help […]
Porcupine Hills for the Weekend
by Bertha on 20. May, 2008 in Canada 2006
Adam and I went out to Porcupine hills, 2 hours south of Calgary for a couple of races over the long weekend. Saturday was a Cross country(that was cancelled because of rain last weekend) and Sunday was a hare scramble. Adam placed really well in the hare scramble, just shy of the podium at 4th! The […]
