No China Month Update
by Bertha on 21. Jul, 2008 in Canada 2006
Mish has written an excellent comment on her reasons for No China this month here. I thought I’d write that it’s really an awareness that has awaken me to all the products that are made in sweatshops everywhere, not just China. One of my customers even told me about the Sweaties Awards, a dubious honour […]
Rocky Mtn House HS

Adam and I went out to Rocky for his Hare Scramble this weekend. A challenging race because of the mud, guck, and roots along the trail. I hear many people complained about the course because the beginning of the race was tight and people had little to no opportunity to pass others. On the way […]
July is No China Month
by Bertha on 11. Jul, 2008 in Canada 2006
Mish, Rayleen and I are trying out No China for this month. We are pledging to not purchase any items made in China or from China. The idea is about unfair labour standards, etc. Mish wanted to go for a whole year but I only committed to one month just to see how it goes. I […]

I didn’t pack a lot beforehand but what I did pack was well organized and labelled. Charlene helped me move the big stuff on Saturday, and we just finished getting everything into the […]

Ya, this post is so late! I helped Adam move to his new home on Saturday of the long weekend. Then afterwards, I went to Paul’s pot luck. I had a good time and watched people play Rock Band. I didn’t play myself but I think it would be fun… I’ve only ever played Guitar […]

oh Yes, I heard it on the radio! New Kids on the Block are coming to Edmonton! November 18th is their concert date here. I have to say, I was a closet fan in Junior High. I’m sure a number of you were! Angela, I wish you were here so you can come with me! […]

On Sunday I went with Adam to BUMP harescramble out near Busby. This 15km race was very organized with a concession stand, outhouses, and even a program! One of Adam’s co-workers came out to race as well. He has an old bike and raced in his work coveralls and managed to complete one lap before […]
