And so it begins, in its quiet little way. About a week ago I got my gown (virtually a uniform) for installation in May. Joan says it's ok to get it altered; I want to have the sleeves taken up so that they clear the crook of my elbow. Nominally they are short sleeves, but I'm so short-waisted they are elbow length on me. I'd like to have the body shortened too, but suspect there's too much beadwork for that to be feasible/affordable.

Sunday was the Association meeting, at Contentment Chapter. I went only to the general session to hear the candidates speak, and to be, well, evident, as an involved member. Didn't stay for the individual breakout sessions. Elections this year should be smooth and brief, as both Carol and Mike are running unopposed.

ETA: Over supper, PSI let me know that a volunteer, GMB, has been drafted to be Matron of my local chapter. Whew! I passed the word that I'm willing to take any other local office they need next year.

I just wanted to tell you that I love it when you post about your Eastern Star activities. My grandmother was one, and my grandfather was a Shriner until he died a few years ago (in his 80s). My mom was a Rainbow Girl. I was never involved but as a kid I loved to hear their stories and see how involved they were. Good luck in the coming year!

My X's grandmother was in Eastern Star. When she died I wanted to find a place where we could send back her pins and such. But her son decided to keep them I think. I don't know any more since I have not talked to any of the X's family members since the divorce.

But I think about her a lot since I got her bedroom in the divorce.

What are the requirements for Eastern Star? I always wondered.

Good luck. Have fun. Illegitimi non carborundum %^).
