TMRC Family Day!

Past Grand Patron Leland and his lovely lady Lynda

Last Saturday, October 9th I attended TMRC Family Day (Texas Masonic Retirement Center). It was a beautiful day and lots of fun was happening. Food, games, singing, cooking, lots of items for sell and plain ol' family fun. I think a good time was had by all.

The Home is a beautiful place and the residents just love it. You were also able to tour the Eastern Star office and meet the staff. Several people enjoyed this. I saw lots of friends and several of our Grand Family. I took a few photos of our locals. New camera so bear with me, HAHA Enjoy!
