Had a small little potluck party last night for my birthday. Justin and Theresa, Ian, Charlene and Dan watched the hockey game and then played Wii with Calvin. I think that first Wii experience convinced Theresa that she wants one for herself! Dan even made this casserole for the first time and it turned out […]

Moving and Poker
by Bertha on 30. Nov, 2008 in Canada 2006
I helped Justin and Theresa move to their new home today. They had lots of help from friends and family and we made it in one trip. Theresa’s dad has a large truck and trailer and fit basically everything in both! It was great because it was so organized and everyone was really eager. Their […]
Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Campaign and Santa’s Anonymous 08
by Bertha on 24. Nov, 2008 in Canada 2006
I didn’t do as many shoeboxes as last year for Operation Christmas Child but I think I filled the boxes more. Dollarama is the best store ever for this kind of thing! I also found some school workbooks on sale at Staples for like 0.47 each! There are drop in times for wrapping presents for Santa’s […]
New Kids on the Block Reunion Tour
by Bertha on 19. Nov, 2008 in Canada 2006
I had a blast at the New Kids concert last night. The gals and I got there early, found our seats and anxiously awaited the start of the concert. The older Kids didn’t dissappoint! Plenty of screaming 30-something year old women in the crowd rekindling their love affair with the Beantown boys (and a couple of […]
Rememberance Day Classic 08
by Bertha on 18. Nov, 2008 in Canada 2006
Good turn out! Lots of people who don’t come out often showed up and we played 4 on 4 with goalies for 1.5 hours. Matt played the last post in rememberance, Charlene sang O Canada and we shook hands with the other team at the end. Video of the Matt’s performance will be posted on Facebook […]
Pigeon Lake Retreat 08
by Bertha on 12. Nov, 2008 in Canada 2006
I got an amazing amount of pages done. I hadn’t done any serious scrapbooking since I moved so I guess I was just brimming with creativity. I uploaded my fave layout onto Facebook if you’re interested.
Post-Halloween Costume Party
by Bertha on 02. Nov, 2008 in Canada 2006
On Halloween, I went over to Mattie’s house to carve pumpkins for his last day in Canada. I don’t remember ever doing it before, not even in school so I was pretty excited about it. Since it was the night before Halloween, I had to go to about 4-5 stores before finding any pumpkins. I […]

This Halloween Charlene and I are having a themed party! We chose Toy Story for our theme and are making our own costumes. This should be good!
Thanksgiving Dinner
by Bertha on 14. Oct, 2008 in Canada 2006
Charlene and I had a successful dinner yesterday. I woke up relatively early to prep everything and felt like I was mostly done by 11am which made me a little paranoid that I was forgetting something. I don’t like waiting to cook things because I everything needs to finish at exactly the same time. Charlene made […]
Happy Thanksgiving
by Bertha on 10. Oct, 2008 in Canada 2006
I went to see Pride and Prejudice at the Citadel on Thursday. The play was fantastic except a couple of things. It is a difficult book to adapt because it is so long. The play was about 3.5 hours long and finished at 11pm. Many of the cast nailed my vision of their character. Mr. […]
