Doc Walker and Willie Mac
by Bertha on 21. May, 2008 in Canada 2006
Charlene bought me a ticket to go see Doc Walker with her, her sister and mom. Willie Mac, from Texas, was quite entertaining as warm up acts go. He has this Elvis style leg shake and hip shake going on when he plays his guitar. That left leg just can’t stay still! You can’t help […]

Adam and I went out to Porcupine hills, 2 hours south of Calgary for a couple of races over the long weekend. Saturday was a Cross country(that was cancelled because of rain last weekend) and Sunday was a hare scramble. Adam placed really well in the hare scramble, just shy of the podium at 4th! The […]

Vegreville MX
by Bertha on 08. May, 2008 in Canada 2006
On Sunday Adam and I went to Vegreville for the first Motorcross race of this season. We got there quite early, 8am for registration and then found out he didn’t have his first race for about 2 hours or so. His second race was another 3.5 hours after the first one so most of the […]
Shauna and Zousar’s Wedding
by Bertha on 07. May, 2008 in Canada 2006
This past Saturday I went to my friend’s wedding. It was really neat because Zousar is Orthodox and the wedding was very different than your typical western wedding. Walking in there is a lot of chanting and a cymbal guy. The priest is peaking english but in a melodic chanty sorta way so I didn’t […]

Went down to Calgary with Adam on Friday afternoon. We got there in the evening and went to Rhea’s “I got on the Force” Party at Richmond’s Pub. She is officially a cadet(?) for the Cowtown police. And it so happened that Adam starts his new job today and one of his friends from Calgary […]
Faith in Edmontonian Kindness Slighty Restored
by Bertha on 22. Apr, 2008 in Canada 2006
The weather is a little crappy these past couple of days. Heavy snowfall warning for 3 days straight and at least 10cm snow for 3 days. The snow is the wet, heavy, sticks to everything kind of snow which is good for building snowmen/forts but not good for driving in because you get your wheel […]
Scrapbooking Retreat at HeHoHa
by Bertha on 21. Apr, 2008 in Canada 2006, Scrapbooking
Went to a Scrapbooking retreat for the weekend. Just in time for the winter weather to really kick back in! I didn’t bring any winter stuff so lots of layering under my leather jacket! I did get a lot done. Over 12 pages is good for me but I know others got over 40! Whatever! […]
