I’m wondering if anyone would come this year. It’s been a quiet year in terms of my university friends getting together. I haven’t planned many events and am wondering if anyone will come now that a long time has past…
Remembrance Day Classic/Night out at the Ranch
by Bertha on 12. Nov, 2007 in Canada 2006
Today was one of the most beautiful days to have the Remembrance Day classic ball hockey game. The weather was sunny and warm. Doug showed up to play goal. We had a decent showing. Had Penner jersey his friend, Charlene ran her ear into Dave’s elbow, and I think Doug pulled a muscle during a […]
Surprises
by Bertha on 08. Nov, 2007 in Canada 2006
I got a really great surprise the other day at work. Friends posted pictures of my scrapbooking weekend with them on Facebook and I found a framed pic of me “Workin’ it” with a scrapbook page in my office! It took me a day but I figured out who it was. That pic is the […]
Great Escapse to Pigeon Lake
by Bertha on 04. Nov, 2007 in Canada 2006, Scrapbooking
This weekend I spent scrapbooking at Pigeon Lake at the Village Creek Country Inn. 2 days, 2 night and a hot tub! 4 of us shared a room and table area in Scrapbooking Central. Got there on Friday night and we all stayed up late every night to hang out, gossip, and scrap. Very nerdy! […]

by Bertha on 31. Oct, 2007 in Canada 2006
A very happy unbirthday, to you! To me? Well, Charlene and I went to the Alice in Wonderland themed party where we played minigolf (no indoor croquet places). We had a great time!

Opera Attempt Deux
by Bertha on 28. Oct, 2007 in Canada 2006
My family and I went to see Carmen the opera on Wednesday night. I was a little hesitant because of my first opera experience with Adam earlier this year. I think either I was tired, impatient, or the subject matter was better because Carmen was better to watch. I don’t believe the costumes or staging […]
Halloween Costume Plans 2
by Bertha on 21. Oct, 2007 in Canada 2006
Wow, both Charlene and I hadn’t watched Alice in Wonderland in ages and we both remember why now. …It’s not great. I don’t remember it making much of an impression on me when I was younger. I can imagine myself watching bits, leaving and coming back to the tv later to see if the movie […]

From some of her pictures from other events that she’s held, I nervous about the costume. She has seamstresses and costume designers for friends. But Charlene and I […]
