I know I am behind again. It just seemed like all I could get done for the last couple of weeks in May were subbing (I finished the year with 118 days to my credit) and getting myself ready for Allen to leave for Afghanistan. He is in Qatar right now with his plane scheduled to leave this afternoon to continue his journey to Kabul.
Last night, I attended #110's Installation. I got the chance to visit briefly with Joyce Scott. She was the last GG to have an outdoor OV. It was also at the Shrine Hill Country Place in Terre Haute. She shared that she also had some rain. Our last OV will definitely be one I think we will always remember. First, it was great to initiate 2 new Daughters--AJ is even from #121. Second, we overcame the rain, planes, trains, motorcycles, and wind. Third, the fellowship afterwards was super. What a bunch of really good food. I cannot thank enough all the people, who did so much extra, to have this day be what I wanted.
Thursday night Elecia and I attended the Royal Court of Indiana, Order of the Amaranth in Evansville. We started at 8:00 our time and the room was really warm. We did get to meet up with some old friends--the Fishers were there (Phil is a grand officer) and Juanita Cox was in the choir and did a tribute to the Indiana Flag. I also got to briefly visit with some acquaintances from when I taught in Brown County--Ivan Lancaster and Marion Crum. Marion will be the new Grand Royal Patron. Our Supreme Queen of Nile, Sue Layman, was also there. She was at my initiation into Nile several years ago. Elecia took quite a shine to her and wanted to wear her crown. I got home around 1:30 and Elecia still had another hour and half to drive. Thank Heavens God watches over us.
We have such a short time left and it will be super busy, but I will be attending some more of the meetings (we have more initiations) and Grand Chapter.
Antia, GG
