Visiting Lodges on the island

Just back from visiting Pearl Harbor F&AM lodge.  Really enjoyed the fellowship and partivipating in a degree practice.  I continue to be amazed at the differences in the work from state to state.  As always though, I was greeted with welcome smiles and local advice. Kudos to the lodged here, a weekly scheduled gathering is on the calendar.  I plan another visit tomarrow.

THOUGHTS AND REFLECTIONS THUS FAR

As I sit here and reflect on the past 4 months,, yes that long, I wonder what I have accomplished in the time I have spent from my family.  Especially my beautiful girlz and Sharon.  Crossing this country has shown me that I really don't need all the THINGS that we all keep so close to us.  I have been living in a 4 x 8 space with minimal clothes and stuff.  What I do need is the people in my life close to me that care and love me.  Seeing the places in the country that most people never see has been very enlightening.  I will try to share some of these places and things over next few dayz.  The people that I have met have really shared their stories with me as well as I have shared my story.  It seems that there are lots of folks in this country chasing the same happiness and freedom that I am.

PLAYING CATCH UP

These are some pics from my stay in Witichita KS.  The group pic Was taken at Tina and Chips house. That's them in the bottom pic.  We had had a family cook out just before I left for OK.  All of her children are there except the baby. We had a great time and I think we were able to bring a family back together.
The middle pc is David Thompson.  He is the guy I worked for  3 weeks.  I think we both learned something from each other.  I did enjoy working for him and would consider going back and working for him again.

Made it to hawaii

Finally made it tp Hawaii.  Caufht flight from Travis AFB this morning at 4 am. Sitting at brothers house.   Cold beer flowing.   More to come
