Body Slam!

Vancouver Island Pro Wrestling puts on a night of entertainment every couple of months out at the Langford Legion and it's quite a thing to see. There's all sorts of drama and high flying stunts and while it's debatable about it's status as a sport it's pretty good fun all the same. The referee really steals the scene for me. - Fern

Treasure Hunting

On a weekend afternoon there is something so satisfying about nosing around in a antique store for 'finds.' This is a huge, rambling old building with all sorts of beautiful furniture on the main floor and then a basement full of, well EVERYTHING! I wanted to take home so many things but settled on just a few of these treasures. - Fern

Happy Father's Day

As Father's Day present this year my kids took their Dad to Western Speedway in Langford for the annual Strawberry Cup which is a special event where sprint cars from all over the Northwest come to race. My photos shown here don't do justice to the sprint cars because they are so fast that all my pictures are either blurry or in fact by the time I clicked the shutter the cars were long gone! The cars in the above photo are dwarf cars that have motorcycle engines and were the opening act so to speak. It was a nice night and the many Dads there seemed to be having a good time. - Fern
Author's note: as some of you know Benjamin is my own dear Dad and if you follow this blog at all you know a little bit about what a great guy he is. Thank you Dad for being a constant source of inspiration; I am truly lucky to have you in my life. xoxo
