Well, Fall is here! Sure happened fast. Trying to remember what happened since the last blog and didn't think we were very busy...then looked at the calendar for the last week. Damascus Lodge visit Tuesday, Family time Wednesday with my sister in Burien, Peninsular OV of the Deputy on Thursday, photoshoot on Friday, District meetings on Saturday, photoshoot on Sunday and drive to Leavenworth, Monday and Tuesday photo excursion in Leavenworth...whew, no wonder I get tired!
On Tuesday I attended the stated meeting of Damascus Lodge in Granite Falls for their Past Masters night. The WM shared a historical slide show presentation with some History of Masonry, some history of Granite Falls, and all of the Past Masters for Damascus Lodge, it was very well done and provided an excellent look at the history of Masonry in Granite Falls. They then held their election of officers and Brother Robert Carden was elected Master for 2020.
Wednesday was a chance to spend time with family. Family is the most precious thing, don't waste the opportunity.
Thursday was off to Peninsular in Everett to support the lodge and the Deputy of the Grand Master at his official visit. I had the honor of sitting in the West as the Senior Warden stepped up to the East in the absence of the Worshipful Master. "Your attendance is essentially necessary, in the absence of the Master, you are to govern the Lodge...". Brother Mike Dulaney did an outstanding job and was elected Worshipful Master that evening in the Lodges elections.
Friday was a fun photoshoot with Hannah and a pumpkin and some smoke grenades! We went out to the park in Monroe and had a great time.
Saturday morning was a drive up to Anacortes and the District meeting for District 9. The Deputy did an amazing job running the meeting and District 9 is very much on the move. Following that meeting we headed up to Bellingham and District 10. Another great meeting and very well presented by the District deputy. I am definitely encouraged as I travel to all of the district meetings.
Sunday we took some personal time and drove up to Leavenworth for a couple of days to capture the beauty of fall. The colors are so amazing from Lake Wenatchee down the Wenatchee river to Leavenworth. It was definitely cold for Sunrise on Monday morning, but worth it. I think it was about 35 degrees when we started, but right before sunrise it dropped very fast to probably around 25 degrees.
Well, that's it for now. Until next time
Fraternally,
