<br />
I wanted to share the rest of my photos from my venture to Hyde Park and Bayshore yesterday....<br />
<br />
Found this great little store "<i>The Blue Moon Trading Company</i>" owned by Katie Gagnon. She is just the sweetest gal! Her store has oodles and oodles of goodies. My shyness kicks in when it comes to asking a shoppe owner if I can take photos of their store (hence, the name of this post). I did manage to take some of the outside goodies..Whatcha think of all this eye candy? I loved every bit of it. <br />
<br />
Her web address is posted at the bottom of this post. Hope y'all enjoy!!<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><i>I put my carry-on in the <br />
luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned <br />
seat. It was going to be a long flight. 'I'm <br />
glad I have a good book to read. Perhaps I will <br />
get a short nap,' I thought. <br />
<br />
Just before take-off, <br />
a line of soldiers came down the aisle and <br />
filled all the vacant seats, totally surrounding <br />
me. I decided to start a conversation. <br />
<br />
'Where are you <br />
headed?' I asked the soldier seated nearest to <br />
me. 'Petawawa. We'll be there for two <br />
weeks for special training, and then we're being <br />
deployed to </i></span></span></b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><i><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Afghanistan</span></b><b><span style="font-weight: bold;"> <br />
<br />
After flying for about an hour, an announcement was <br />
made that sack lunches were available for five <br />
dollars. It would be several hours before we <br />
reached the east, and I quickly decided a lunch <br />
would help pass the time... </span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></b></i></span></span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black;"><span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">As I reached for my wallet, I overheard a soldier ask his buddy if <br />
he planned to buy lunch. 'No, that seems <br />
like a lot of money for just a sack lunch. <br />
<br />
Probably wouldn't be worth five bucks. <br />
I'll wait till we get to base.' <br />
<br />
His friend agreed. <br />
<br />
I looked around at the <br />
other soldiers. None were buying lunch. I walked <br />
to the back of the plane and handed the flight <br />
attendant a fifty dollar bill. 'Take a <br />
lunch to all those soldiers.' She grabbed my <br />
arms and squeezed tightly. Her eyes wet with <br />
tears, she thanked me. 'My son was a soldier in </span></b><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Iraq</span></b><b><span style="font-weight: bold;"> ;</span></b></span></span></i></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black;"><span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;"> it's almost like you are doing it for <br />
him.' </span></b></span></span></i></span></div><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><i><b><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
Picking up ten sacks, she headed up the aisle to where the <br />
soldiers were seated. She stopped at my seat and <br />
asked, 'Which do you like best - beef or <br />
chicken?' 'Chicken,' I replied, <br />
wondering why she asked. She turned and went to <br />
the front of plane, returning a minute later <br />
with a dinner plate from first class. <br />
<br />
'This is your thanks.' <br />
<br />
After we finished <br />
eating, I went again to the back of the plane, <br />
heading for the rest room. <br />
A man stopped me. 'I saw what you did. I want to <br />
be part of it. Here, take this.' He handed me <br />
twenty-five dollars. <br />
<br />
Soon after I returned <br />
to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming down <br />
the aisle, looking at the aisle numbers as he <br />
walked, I hoped he was not looking for me, but <br />
noticed he was looking at the numbers only on my <br />
side of the plane. When he got to my row he <br />
stopped, smiled, held out his hand and said, 'I <br />
want to shake your hand.' Quickly unfastening my <br />
seatbelt I stood and took the Captain's hand. <br />
With a booming voice he said, 'I was a soldier <br />
and I was a military pilot. Once, someone bought <br />
me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I never <br />
forgot.' I was embarrassed when applause was <br />
heard from all of the passengers. <br />
<br />
Later I walked to the <br />
front of the plane so I could stretch my legs. A <br />
man who was seated about six rows in front of me <br />
reached out his hand, wanting to shake mine. He <br />
left another twenty-five dollars in my palm. <br />
<br />
When we landed I <br />
gathered my belongings and started to deplane. <br />
Waiting just inside the airplane door was a man <br />
who stopped me, put something in my shirt <br />
pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a <br />
other twenty-five dollars! <br />
<br />
Upon entering the <br />
terminal, I saw the soldiers gathering for their <br />
trip to the base. <br />
I walked over to <br />
them and handed them seventy-five dollars. 'It <br />
will take you some time to reach the base. <br />
It will be about time for a sandwich. <br />
God Bless You.' <br />
<br />
Ten young <br />
men left that flight feeling the love and <br />
respect of their fellow travelers. <br />
<br />
As I walked briskly to <br />
my car, I whispered a prayer for their safe <br />
return. These soldiers were giving their all for <br />
our country. I could only give them a couple of <br />
meals. It seemed so little... <br />
<br />
A veteran is someone <br />
who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank <br />
check made payable to 'The </span></b><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">United States of <br />
America</span></b></i></span><b><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><i> ' for an amount of 'up to and <br />
including my life.' <br />
<br />
That is Honor, and <br />
there are way too many people in this country <br />
who no longer understand it.' </i></span></span></b></span></span><br />
