During my ride on the magic carpet (also known as the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museums’ C-47 Dakota), we flew along the south shore of Lake Ontario and passed over this ship, which may have been the Ganges Star, an oil/chemical tanker.
Last Christmas, Faye astonishingly and generously gifted me a flight on the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museums’ C-47 Dakota. My dad flew C-47s in World War II. The C-47 was a transport plane so my dad flew cargo and paratroop drop missions. He served in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, flew paratroopers for D-Day and flew more missions in Northwest Europe afterwards.
I recently took advantage of Fayes’ gift. Here’s a photo of the magic carpet I rode in; this specific plane did drop paratroops on D-Day. I’ll post more photos over the next few days.
I needed a hiatus from posting to tend to other matters and to myself.

A lovely sunrise. A gift from The Maker (or Makers) of All Things.
This is a season of slowing down, of reflection. We reflect on the gifts of summer and, if we are open, the gifts of fall and of the season, the seasons to come.
