Labor Day, 2009

The unofficial end of summer! I took a short hiatus from Masonic activities and spent the weekend with two of my three children and three of my five grandsons at the lake. The weather was great, but the mosquitoes, which hadn't been much of a problem all year (well, the three or so times I managed to make it to the lake this summer ...) were out in full force. It was nice to spend some time with family.

Thanks to W.B. Ted Martz for introducing me to a silly, but addictive, dice game called "Left, Center, Right". Even my six-year-old grandson had a great time playing!

Summer is over, and lodges all over Minnesota are gearing up for a great fall. I'm looking forward to visiting many in the next several months.
