Bells Will Be Ringing

OP Altair Strike Force

O Bells will be ringing

this sad sad sad news

Oh what a Christmas

to have the blues

Al in Gibraltar

My baby's gone

I have no friends

To wish me greetings

once again

Al in Gibraltar

O Choirs will be singing

Silent Night

Al in Egypt

Christmas carols
by candle light

Al in Egypt

Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas

Al in Egypt

If not for Christmas

Al in Egypt

by New Years night

Al in Egypt

Al in Egypt

Friends and relations
Send salutations

Sure as the stars shine up above

Al in Egypt

But this is Christmas

Yeah, it's Christmas my dear

It's the time of year
to be with the one you love

Al in Egypt

So won't you tell me
You'll never more roam
Christmas and the New Year
Will find you home

There`ll be no more sorrow

No grief and pain

And I'll be happy, happy, once again

Some of the crew of HMCS Charlottetown on the Flight Deck

There be no more sorrow

No grief and pain

It'll be a happy, Christmas,

once again

Merry Christmas from the SUP guys on HMCS Charlottwetown

I Don't Really Have A Lot To Say, But...

I think it is about time I updated my blog. Considering I intended to update it daily, and did for quite some time. Why I got out of the habit of doing so is beyond me. At any rate, here I am...





It is December now, and miracle of miracles, it has decided to actually SNOW in December. Go figure!





Al's been gone for over a month now. Only 6 or 7 left to go. He's been to Norfolk, Virginia, and to Gibraltar, and to Spain. He's been to Alexandria and Cairo in Egypt. Saw the pyramids and the Sphinx. That's pretty cool. They passed the part where Moses parted the Red Sea (which does not have red water in it, as Victoria thought). They did a sail past with the Toronto, which is on it's way home now. He's only sent me one picture so far because he forgot to take the USB cord for the camera. He will get it on the 16th when they enter the next port. Anyway, here is Al, Kendall, and some-guy-I-don't-know in front of the Sphinx.








Yup...there he is. In front of the Sphinx. Wearing a Christmas present he wasn't supposed to open! (He claims that the paper was ripped and he liked what he saw so he wore it...likely excuse!) I hope to get more pictures of him and the places he's been once he gets the USB cord. You can look at the pictures of the ship's company at various locations, doing various things if you go here...http://www.navy.forces.gc.ca/charlottetown/gallery/ship_gallery_e.asp


As for how I am doing while he is gone, I am doing OK. Been really busy since he left. Volunteering a lot at the MFRC, getting ready for the Christmas Production at Church. {Here is the church website with the info on the play should anyone wish to come and see... http://www.hillsidewesleyan.com/ (pretty funky new website, looks kinda weird without Pastor Peter sitting in Pastor AJ's office!)} And, of course, getting ready for Christmas. {I think that while the kids are at the Youth Center tonight, I just might take this opportunity to wrap some presents!}

Well, that's about it for now I guess. Not overly exciting, but such is my life...

Oh yeah, I am going to visit Jo (http://barefacedlife.blogspot.com/) on Sunday! I can't wait! So if you are coming to see the play at church, come Saturday Night or Sunday morning because I won't be there Sunday night.

CIAO for now...
