Beautiful ceremony at a quaint church outside of Christy’s hometown of Busby in mid-September. Although I was early for picking up Charlene and Dan at Spruce Grove, we were confused about the direction to take to find Hwy44 and therefore ended up about 10 minutes late for the ceremony. Luckily, the congregation was standing and […]

Mt. Robson Hiking Trip
by Bertha on 14. Sep, 2009 in Canada 2006
Charlene, Dan, Jane and I took the time to do a small hiking trip after driving out to Mt. Robson for Jana and Jonathan’s wedding. It was my first back country camping experience and I think Jane’s also. We had a great experienced leader who planned everything and all we had to do was show […]
Groundie for a Day
by Bertha on 14. Sep, 2008 in Canada 2006
A half day of hard labour this weekend as I helped Charlene with pruning an Apple tree. I learned how to run a chipper and watched her in action. I was clearning the brush from the yard and chipping it up and on occasion I got beaned on the hard hat with falling crab apples. […]
Happy Housewarming and Horses
by Bertha on 08. Sep, 2008 in Canada 2006
This past weekend Charlene and I went to her friend’s house in Olds to celebrate her purchase of a new home. It looked pretty sweet. Fully renovated from the 60s. I think Charlene and I were pretty tired from the week because we were laughing uncontrollably at things that weren’t really all that funny. (Ange, I’m […]
Weekend at the Lake
by Bertha on 24. Aug, 2008 in Canada 2006
So, old school gamers night wasn’t much though Charlene and I enjoyed ourselves with our Commodore and Atari. Jonathon brought his Nintendo and we all took turns playing on all three systems. A few days later we got the Sega Genesis working and played Sonic, etc for the whole night. This past weekend I went […]

This Saturday Adam and I went out to see Charlene compete in the Aboriculture Tree Climbing competition. We met Beau, Christie, Jana and John as well as her parents and Daniel out there. I brought signage and costumes and we cheered her on! There are 5 events. Let’s see… I don’t remember the exact names of […]
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 […]
In True Canadian Style

Saturday night was about -20C for Charlene’s bonfire. Adam and I sat with Jana, John, and Charlene for about an hour outside before we wussed out. It wasn’t too cold for it but the bonfire just never got going. A small little campfire just doesn’t cut it when it’s -20!! Adam tried to throw on […]
Lac La Nonne
by Bertha on 28. Aug, 2006 in Canada 2006
On Saturday I went with Charlene and her mom and dad to their lake lot for some water activities! Whee! I got to her acreage at about 1130 (earlier than planned) and helped family unload the groceries, got a lesson on making the proper mixture for motorboat gasoline as well as watching her dad make […]
