Anyone seen a carrier pigeon around this morning? ;>
Charlie & Edie, hope your anniversary was a day to remember! I remember all 56 of ours.
THE FOLLOWING LINES ARE FROM CHARLIE, UNABLE TO POST DIRECTLY THIS MORNING:
Please copy the entire content of this email now and paste it into the comment field on today's Cam Notes, where I can see you already have posted. Just submit it like you usually do, because I am unable to.
As you can see, we were able to upload the pictures, over a slow satellite at the Bed and Breakfast where we are staying. But a strange anomaly of this connection is it's inability to allow interaction, so I could not post this note, from Tim Collins, which tells about the picture:
Taken 70 years ago this Christmas in Paupa New Guinea by my father. Dad (Harry M Collins). He was born and raised in Hurontown and entered the Army in the Spring prior to the bombing of Pearl Harbor that December. He eventually ended up in New Guinea where he took this picture of a Christmas candle light service in the jungles there - 70 years ago in just a couple of days. Notice the "comfortable" church pews - I should never complain about a hard pew again! Has there ever been a Christmas without servicemen and women serving their country in far away places? Silent night. . .
Tim Collins
Thanks, Shirley, for your note this morning, which allowed me to tack on these lines, even though it doesn't allow creating new notes over the satellite. You turned out to be our carrier pigeon!
Have a good week :o)
