O'Hoy there!

Fresh air whisked under our hems and our hair as we awaited boarding of the HMCS Shawinigan and HMCS Sunnyside on Sunday afternoon. Our day had been pleasantly full of rest, and now we were ready for a small adventure. Our tour guide brought us all over the ship, and sometimes spoke in whole phrases that I could not comprehend since the terms were all navigational or Naval in nature. We looked, we listened, we learned about what the ship does and where it goes. Mercy was sad that we did not leave port. Julia dressed like a 'sailor', at least, I told her that her outfit looked JUST like a sailors', and so she wore it. Good family times. Weekends of quiet rest, down time, ice cream for dinner and vegetables for dessert, games of Chess, family prayer, small town fairs, and fellowship at church. Thank you Lord for all these good gifts.
