STARS OF WASHINGTON

God took the strength of a mountain,
the majesty of a tree,
the warmth of summer sun,
the calm of a quiet sea,
the generous soul of nature,
the comforting arm of night,
the wisdom of the ages,
the power of eagle's flight,
the joy of a morning in spring,
the faith of a mustard seed,
the patience of eternity,
the depth of a family need,
then God combined these qualities...
and when there was nothing
more to add....
He knew that His masterpiece
was now complete...
and so He called it....DAD!!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY ...

AND A WORD FROM YOURS TRULY

Couldn't get this sent off prior to our trip to Spokane this morning! This trip was to get another shot into Ted's back ... only this time we thought he had to be asleep during the procedure, but he said that he could handle it! And handle it he did! Still made me nervous! If this does NOT work ... it means surgery. Three months of not lifting over 5 pounds. So Ted thought ... November, December and January! I thought ... good time for me to learn to run the snow blower mounted on our tractor! Of course, I don't drive in the snow so who cares if it gets chin high!

Hope to see many of you at the Rededications of Kennewick Lodge and Alma Chapter on Saturday afternoon. If you are coming and want to stay for the BBQ dinner, please RSVP ASAP to the address listed in a couple of STARS ago (available on the website.) If you have never seen these two ceremonies, you are in for a treat! It will be performed by the Grand Lodge Officers and the Grand Chapter Officers.

Thanks to Linda Hays (Century Chapter) and Mary Ellen Sparks (Naomi Chapter) for their Ode Cards! Sure does help!

Until next time ... Hearty Patriot Hugs and happy thoughts.
