Upset With Community Event

Let me say firstly I do not care which way your kilt flies. I don’t. BUT I am appalled at the arrogance of the leaders of the LGBT group regarding their parades. They think (and they get away with it) that the Police cannot appear in uniform during their parade, then they have the nerve to tell two major corporate supporters of their cause that they cannot walk in their parade all because they used the democratic right to freedom of speech. The Library allowed a speaker, with opposing belief, to speak and the LGBT group threw a hissy fit.

You want acceptance, understanding and support and come off as spoiled kids. Support you? hmmm  not so sure any more. You might not agree with me about any subject you want to pick on. Then, I would be banned as well.

Grow up, put on your big show and quit stuffing it all down everyone’s throat, constantly, 24/7. Our world is truly big enough for all of us. We will never agree all the time and that is the way it should be. Understanding one another? YES. Listening to one another? Absolutely. Bullying? Never.

Sorry, but this is my democratic right. I have an opinion. You may or may not agree with me BUT that doesn’t mean I am wrong.

Seahorses Café, Brentwood Bay, B.C.

On our second trip to Victoria in three days, we decided to take the Brentwood Ferry home. We were planning on lunch before getting on but when we arrived, it was about 20 minutes before boarding. HA! We thought. Silly us. This ferry holds 20 cars and we were number 23. It would be a little over an hour before the next  one. We get out of the car and Don looks over the edge of the ramp and discovers this cute restaurant below. Off we go!

When we arrived, we told them we only had about 45 minutes or so before the ferry.Ella took our order and returned. Our server, Ella, is really an asset to this establishment. Smiles, knowledge and it was a real treat for us.

Don ordered his beer and a cup of seafood chowder. He all but licked the cup and said how wonderful it was. It really was as I tasted it as well. He also had a slice of focaccia bread with it. Great combo.

I, on the other hand, opted for the 1/2 Caesar salad and a glass of Pinot Grigio. Let me tell you, with only one exception ever, this was the best Caesar salad I have ever consumed in a restaurant.. It was perfect. Not too acidic, not too garlicky. Then, of course, I asked about dessert. I mean after all, day out, long drive ahead….in I go. I chose the Belgian Brownie. OMG! It comes out warm, with whipped cream (Don gave me his share of the cream).  I cut it in two and we absolutely devoured it.

So…be sure you just miss the ferry and go down here and eat. Better yet, just park your car on the ramp and come down. So worth it.
