My Mini is officially modified :) I'm trying to keep it as original as possible but I just got these little Union Jack valve caps. Oh, the little things that make us happy :)

This evening my friend Greg, Tracy, and I went to see some fireworks at the GlobalFest. GlobalFest fireworks competition is by far my favorite fireworks to see. We had some very nice food and enjoyed the show! If you have never been to GlobalFest Fireworks, I strongly recommend it!

Today I spent all day photographing. I took some photographs for AirdrieLIFE magazine and in the evening I took some car photographs for the local Mini Club at Show and Shine car show. This was also the fist time my little car was in the show :)

Look mom, I'm eating healthy :) I took this photo of "the fruits of our labor" with my iPhone, the camera on that thing is not that bad actually and I rarely carry my little camera with me anymore. We planted a couple of raspberry plants in our back yard and we had quite a few raspberries this year.

I just came back from the "Mini in the Mountains" road trip. I took my new car for a drive with a local "Mini Club of Calgary". We drove through the mountains to Kananaskis Village for lunch and it was a great drive! I enjoyed spending some time with people who share the same interest in cars as I do.

Well I had my Mini Cooper for a week now and I really like it. I thought it was time to take some photographs of it, so I took it out for a little drive this morning.

Well I wasn't expecting this to happen but it did. I just traded in my 2004 Range Rover for a nice little car, Mini Cooper :) I always liked the original Mini. After a test drive of one of the new ones I really liked it, and with the growing gas prices, I made a decision and now I'm a proud owner of the 2008 Mini Cooper. So far I'm loving every minute of it. If any of you are looking for a Mini please talk to Divina Oliverio at the MINI Crowfoot, she was great and made my shopping experience wonderful!

I'm just back from spending the day at Calgary Stampede with my wife and our friends. I'm very tired but we had a wonderful day! The weather was perfect, we watched some shows, played some games, bought some things :) Yesterday we had our "1st Annual Come-and-Go Belski BBQ". Thank you everyone who came, we had a great time, and we hope to see you all again soon.

Here are a couple of photos of my hero, my dad. For the last two days my dad and I have been working on my deck around the clock. Unfortunately I have a sprained ankle so my dad has been doing most of the work. Its going slowly but every hour it looks better and better. I'm getting ready for a wedding tomorrow so we will take a break from the deck building for a day.

I thought I would post something on my blog as well. Tracy and I are having our "1st Annual Come-and-Go Belski BBQ" on July 5th. If you are reading this, you are invited! It will be come and go so please drop by any time, we will start at 10 am and will finish with a fire pit at night. For a while now my dad and I have been working on my deck and it looks amazing! I'm getting very exciting, it should be lots of fun!
Please email or give me a call if you have any questions.
