Edmonton Rush
by Bertha on 09. Mar, 2009 in Canada 2006
The Edmonton Rush Lacrosse team had a promotion for $1.00 seats and I rounded up a bunch of us to go. I’d watched/played before so I thought it’d be a great opportunity. It’s a great sport to watch! A little violent, but very exciting. With high energy music constantly playing in the background, you really […]

So, Australia, here I come again! This time I’m going to see Darwin as well as the fam in Adelaide and friends in Sydney. Yay! Angela and Dustin are still on the books for August/September unless Ange finds a job after graduating this April. Did you know that if your passport is within 6 months […]
Anne of Green Gables at Festival Place
by Bertha on 24. Feb, 2009 in Canada 2006
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 […]
Australia Part 2 and Other Travel Plans
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. 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
by Bertha on 19. Jan, 2009 in SW US 2008-2009
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
by Bertha on 11. Jan, 2009 in SW US 2008-2009
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
by Bertha on 14. Dec, 2008 in Canada 2006
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. 🙁 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 […]

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 […]
