Back in the West...
 

Well Folks,next week I'll be installed as SW.This will be my fourth and final time to serve as SW for our Lodge.After this year we will merge with another Lodge ending an era and starting anew.tom.:cool:

Congraulations - Hope this year is a great one for you and your Lodge

Thanks JBD.The PDDGM who is a member of the Lodge we are merging with will be installing our WM.He has aided in our functions for many years and is a welcome sight.tom.

Well we all got installed this evening and it went smoothly.tom.:thumbsup:

Congrats Brother.

Thank you Bro.tom.:cool:

Congratulations WM Tom.

LOL.I was installed SW for the fourth time,not WM again.One time as WM was enough for me.tom.

Guess I should make sure I am awake when I am posted. I posted two messages a while ago and messed them both up. Good thing I was on the computer and not on the range.

No harm,no foul.They have been trying to get me to take the WM chair again for several years but as I said,once was great fun but enough.tom.

LOL, I haven't been there yet, still a few years away.

Hope you had a great Christmas Day with your family and friends.

Thanks,I sure had a good one.We all got some nice gifts,ate well and too much.LOL.Wife and I cleaned up the kitchen and redd up in general. Everyone has left now so I'm here with my Forum Friends.tom.

Friends? Who said anything about friends?? LOL
Sounds like here - everyone is gone and wife is on the phone with her Aunt - I am online and watching a little TV.

Catch you later

Enjoy.tom.

Congrats SW!

There goes Gino showing me up cause I don't know my directions - do they make a GPS for the Lodge???

Thank you Gino.JBD,no there aren't any GPS's for Lodge just the old standby stars in the sky.tom.

No wonder I can't find my way around I failed astronomy

LOL.tom.

I would NEVER show another Brother up,
just giving a little Fraternal guidence.:supergrin:

I look at some of the old (1800's) pictures of PM's at my lodge and marvel at the many brothers that served numerous terms as Worshipful Master. Their devotion to the Craft must have been great.

You are correct.That and there being no distractions such as TV,computers,working shifts,60 hr work weeks,etc.The men that did work shifts,didn't serve in the Lodges.tom.:cool:
