I am finally back home again in Indiana. I left Tuesday, with Vicki and Hubert and Kathryn Jo Haynes to attend the Grand Chapter of Nevada's Installation. Barbara Holmes, PGBHQ of Indiana, was installed as the Worthy Grand Matron. We have all known her for years and I was so thrilled to be able to be there for this very special night for her. Her Bethel, #5 of Las Vegas signed, "God Bless America" and one of the past Miss Nevada's sang, "I Hope You Dance." This was a very special song to Susie Holmes, PSBHQ and Barbara's daugher, who passed away during her reign as SBHQ. I got to meet some of the NV Job's and we also got to visit with PSG Janine Hinman of CA. She gave me some interesting things to think about.
The rest of our time was spent sightseeing. I had been to Vegas before, but only for a short time. I am not a gambler, so I spent my time shopping (M and M World is always my downfall) and taking it all in. There is so much that has changed since I was there 5 years ago. Hubert drove us out to the Hoover Dam, a true engineering marvel. I had never been there and so wanted to walk halfway across the dam, so I could say I have been to Arizona. I had on sandals though and did not think my feet would take the trip, so I will have to be content saying I have seen AZ for now. Ballagio Casino has the most fantastic fountain show and interior seasonal displays. We took lots of pictures. I want to thank my driver/tour guide (Hubert) and event planner/tour guide (Kathy) for a great trip. They really know Vegas, as they live there part of the year.
I was thrilled when I got on line and saw that #86 did initiate Tuesday night. I also was glad to see #8 and #22 will soon be initiating. I will not be able to attend either, but will be looking forward to meeting the new Daughters. I hope to see lots of people this weekend at GB Leadership and the State-wide Go to Church Sunday.
