The other day, as I was driving to work, there was a tv crew and a bunch of people dressed in white handing out breakfast kits to the cars at the red light. Tasty! It was 104.9 EZRock advertising the Breakfast Clubs of Canada charity that provides a breakfast for children so that they can perform […]

Refinishing Hardwood Flooring
by Bertha on 18. Feb, 2008 in Canada 2006
This weekend I helped Adam refinish his hardwood flooring. He rented a large industrial sander while I used a palm sander to take off varnish near the edge of the walls where the large sander couldn’t reach. It’s very loud and dusty but neat to learn all about refinishing hardwood. He’s already popcorned the ceiling in both […]

It’s Annual Fly By Night Theatre show is coming up. I mentioned this last year when Adam surprised me by taking me there. It’s great entertainment with some amazing aerial feats!

For Sale – 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan
by Bertha on 08. Feb, 2008 in Canada 2006
I am putting up the soccer van for sale. It’s getting a little older and we do have one vehicle just sitting unused in the garage. So, the idea is to sell the van and get the old car up and running. It’s a nice vehicle with lots of amenities. Check it out! 191000km, Automatic, […]
NCFRC Alumni Dinner
by Bertha on 05. Feb, 2008 in Canada 2006
I made plans with about 7 old co-workers to get together for dinner this coming Wednesday. It’ll be good because some of them I’ve not seen in ages. It’s not like me to usually keep in touch with my former co-workers. I don’t know why but every other job I’ve had, I’ve not gotten that […]
Winter Weather Full Force
by Bertha on 28. Jan, 2008 in Canada 2006
Yesterday was crazy cold! Just like it was in the good old days when I was little. -30C with wicked winds that make it feel like -43C and exposed skin freezes in under 5 seconds. Yup! This is what I woke up to yesterday and it will be like that all week according to the […]

by Bertha on 27. Jan, 2008 in Canada 2006
There is a new Canadian Reality television program called The Week the Women Went that is airing on Monday nights on CBC. The show is about how the men will cope with the women of the town leaving for a week. The reason I’m so interested is because the experiement takes place in Hardisty, AB, […]
Happy Belated Birthday
by Bertha on 22. Jan, 2008 in Canada 2006
Happy Birthday to a couple of little cuties that I’ve yet to meet. Kayla Wong, born earlier this month and Aurora Chan also born earlier this month. The family just keeps getting bigger. So, the question is: If they are my cousin’s children, does that make me a Cousin once removed or a second cousin?
Roomba works wonders
by Bertha on 17. Jan, 2008 in Canada 2006
A little while back my dad bought an iRobot Roomba. This little thingy is a self propelled vacuum cleaner. I’ve used it a number of times and it’s pretty cool. The battery lasts about an hour. It has a bumper in the front and an infared sensor. It also senses itself tipping so it won’t […]
DanceMoves
by Bertha on 15. Jan, 2008 in Canada 2006
So the past couple of weeks were busy with the start of my DanceMoves class (2x/wk) and a couple of Stampin’ Up thingys. I think I like DanceMoves so far although I didn’t realize how unco-ordinated I was! I can not get my upper body to coordinate with my lower body. It’s quite funny to […]
