Did you know that 2007 was the Canadian year of the Bison? That’s what we discovered on our way into the Elk Island National park on Saturday. It’s only about 45 minutes northeast of the city. 28C too! We picnicked in the shade by the large lake and afterwards walked along a floating boardwalk where […]

Porcupine Hills and Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump
by Bertha on 22. May, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
This past long weekend (Victoria Day) was pretty eventful for me. I went with Adam to his second race of the year at Porcupine Hills. This was a cross country; 98km winding through trees, up and down steep hills and shale. The race was about half an hour farther than the famous world heritage listed […]
Bikram Yoga
by Bertha on 20. May, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
On Tuesday, Shauna and I signed up for a week long trial of Bikram Yoga. It’s that Hot Yoga. I thought since I’m done my pole dancing classes I’d try something different and boy is this different from any yoga I’ve practiced before. You need to eat at least an hour+ before class and be […]
Truck Recovered!
by Bertha on 17. May, 2007 in Canada 2006
Adam got a call around lunch time at work the other day letting him know his vehicle was found about 5 minutes away in front of Norwood Library. So he was only lost his vehicle for about 2-3 days. The police did tell him that they have a 75% recovery rate. Bad news: he lost […]
Iceland and Stolen Vehicle
by Bertha on 14. May, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
Angela called me from Iceland last night! Seems she’s having a blast travelling Iceland. Lots of Hot Springs, mostly looks like Canada except for the lava and related moss/lichen on said lava. Food not too different but hot dogs are made with lamb, not beef. And even though it’s about 10C the wind is wickedly […]
Butterdome Spring Craft Sale
by Bertha on 12. May, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
Is this weekend. Edit: It was pretty quiet when I went on Sunday. I wasn’t impressed. There were many booths but most didn’t catch my eye. Jams, chocolate, wood and metal crafts were the order of the day. Some photography and even a man selling his national bestseller… I didn’t buy. It’s the first year […]
Orthotics
by Bertha on 10. May, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
I never thought about my feet before I got orthotics. I just thought it’s normal to get sore feet after walking one hour. Low and behold, it’s not! 3 years ago I got some orthotics ($300.00! thank goodness they were covered by my health plan) and my feet have been happy ever since. (3 years […]

After postponing her first recital, Angela finally got to sing at Holy Trinity Angican Church just of Whyte Ave last night at 7pm. Beautiful church & beautiful singing! Reception with chocolate! yum!
Sharples Motocross Race
by Bertha on 30. Apr, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
This past weekend I went to watch Adam at the first Hare Scramble(through the trees) race of the season near Pincher Creek. We spent Saturday at the WildRose Motocross Association’s Blackfoot Motorcycle Park so he could practice and adjust his settings. Sunday we drove 2 more hours south to the Sharples Race. It was fun […]
