The Chapter Room was ready.

The tête et tête at the Break.

You can see why we all liked this Sister. Great sense of humor.

I stopped to see PGM Charlie Brinkerhoff on my way to the school. They had moved him to Mercy Capital for Rehab after what turns out to be a stroke. He is is good spirits and is hoping to be able to leave the hospital next week. I took him a copy of the Masonic Sports Illustrated and he promptly began to ignore me. I set up his laptop so he can compute and by the time I got home he was already e-mailing. He sent me two e-mail jokes that had me chuckling (read that rolling on the floor).

I talked to my cousin Loren on the phone. He had a knee replaced and is coming along fine. Works a couple of hours each day. I feel guilty that I have not gotten up to see him. He gave me the excuse of the lousy weather but that is really no excuse. I will get up to see him this week (I hope) ARTYAL. Hugs, jcs
