Post Olympics!

Lorna — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:23:51 +0000

So the Olympics are over and it has taken me a little down time to get back to normal. After being on the streets in Vancouver and at all the hockey games and feeling all the energy around me… to come home to a quiet house took some getting used to. But, I’m back at my [...]

Great Atmosphere!

Lorna — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 19:51:12 +0000

Okay, do not believe what you read in the British newspapers about how bad these Olympics are. They are great! The energy in the streets–Robson especially–is vibrating. There are droves of people just walking the streets, enjoying the sunshine, warm weather and ambiance of these 2010 Olympic games. You can line [...]

Second installment!

Lorna — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 19:28:14 +0000

The games have begun!! I managed to scoop a ticket for the Opening Ceremonies from my good friends, Jim and Sandi Treliving. Jim used to be an RCMP officer in the Edmonton area then opened the first Boston Pizza. They are generous and kind and offered me a seat in their suite. [...]

OLYMPICS!!!

Lorna — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 19:41:05 +0000

Okay, I’m here, in Vancouver, and I promise to blog about the Olympics. Yeah! Okay, so I’m a positive person when it comes to the Olympics. I know some people are saying they shouldn’t happen but…I think it’s wonderful to celebrate those who have worked hard at something. Why should we [...]

Torch Relay

Lorna — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 16:52:53 +0000

Okay, so I’ve attended two torch ceremonies in the past few days and what a way to get the excitement geared up for the Olympics. My first one was in Chestermere, Alberta on January 19th. I was invited to attend the Chestermere Library to talk about my book, HOME ICE. So kids, all dressed [...]

HOME FROM WORLD JUNIORS

Lorna — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:32:22 +0000

I’m home from Saskatoon, just flew in a few hours ago. I can finally get internet and thought I would blog and just say how proud I am of Canada. Yes, the loss last night stung but being in that arena for the game made me a proud Canadian. The Saskatchewan fans [...]

What a game last night!!!

Lorna — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 15:47:11 +0000

Wow!!! In true New Years Eve fashion, Canada and the US went head to head in a battle that thrilled fans right down to the last few seconds. Canada trailed with eight minutes left and then popped in two goals to tie the game. The trailing was because of sloppy turn-overs and…a [...]

CANADIAN OLYMPIC HOCKEY TEAM ANNOUNCED

Lorna — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 18:31:11 +0000

Well, the big announcement for the Men’s Olympic Team happened this morning in Saskatoon. I don’t think there were too many surprises…but, that said, there were a few. Patrice Bergeron was added to the roster after not being invited to the camp. And no Calgary Flames D-men were chosen. Drew [...]

HOME ICE

Lorna — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 16:03:08 +0000

Okay, one more weekend to shop! This is my last plug for my book HOME ICE. It’s a great book for those hockey lovers in your family. Okay, so I sound like a used car salesman. Ha ha. But I figure this is my blog so I can write what I [...]

Not going to feel guilty because I love Christmas!

Lorna — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 16:00:38 +0000

I was getting my teeth cleaned yesterday and my hygenist asked me if I was going to take part in Christmas. Of course, I could barely answer because my mouth was stretched open so she could get at my teeth, (I can never answer the hygenist questions), but I did manage to mumble a [...]
