The crowd was BIG.

Shamrocks v Nanaimo Timbermen

The Island rivalry heats up.

On May 30th the Shamrocks won 13-9 in Nanaimo. Tonights game was the rematch at home. The subplot is that the coach of Nanaimo and several of their key players are former Shamrocks.

Clayton and I are Twittering for the Shamrocks, giving live game scores and information.

Victoria won the game 15-10.

Thunderstorm

Trista sent me a text to let me know the thunder is a second behind the lightning. Sounds like a great Ontario thunderstorm!! We do not get them in Victoria and after growing up in Ontario, and living there a few years after we were first married, we certainly miss those storms.

Fire in the neighbourhood

This house fire has left 8 people homeless. It was run as a foster home for many years, but for the last year it has been suited and rented. We heard the fire trucks during the night and saw the results on our way to church in the morning.
