Nick Starts The Process

On the road again, this time VFR to the Santa Ana Elks Lodge #794.  Nick is getting his investigation this evening, and we wanted to be there.  He will get initiated next month when Aunt Colleen is out here getting initiated.

Paul and Grandson Nick; Nick just finished the "Investigation."

Tonight they had beef ribs, and they were terrific.  We got three bones each, and I took two of mine home.  Mary also decided to take two home, so we have lunch ready to go for the next couple of days, apply the microwave, and dine in style.


Those bones were terrific.  I only ate one and was full to the brim!

Bill is the Treasurer of the lodge, and we get all the "skinny" on what's happening from him.


Dr. Capps fills us in on things!

Nick and Mom, the powerful duo!  Watching the child go from a baby to a grown man; makes me feel "old."  Now he and his father will be Elks.


Nick and her very proud Mom!

The ladies chattered the entire time, which made me very happy.  Mary and Robin are good friends, and that is a remarkable thing.  A few weeks ago, Mary and Robin played "Hide And Seek" for hours!  Well, good friends are hard to find.


Watch out for these two.


It's an inside joke!

We enjoy family and being with each other.  Can you tell?  You and I make an incredible "WE."


Love is in the air.

We departed in time to go by Bob and Donna's and join the Starlighters Board Meeting.  It was a good session, although the couch was so comfortable I fell asleep; probably better for the meeting!  Meetings are held to discuss many problems which would never arise if we had fewer meetings.

We headed home around 9:00 PM and read for a while.  We both have good books going, which are hard to put down.
