It's ME again!!! Once I got on here, they couldn't stop me!!!
So last weekend was the Grand Visitation for Bethels 3 and 22!
First and foremost I want to thank the Daughters for a wonderful Grand Visitation. The ceremony was amazing, and the fact that you all took the time to memorize your parts on top of everthing else meant a lot to Mom Melanie and I. The theme really tied nicely with ours of "Friendship, Fraternity, and Tradition". If you missed it, Mom Sandy will probably let you have a copy if you ask her nicely! :)
A big thank you to Liessa and Sarah and the adults from 22 for venturing down from Northern Virginia! It was great to see you, and I know Mom Melanie was glad to have some "hometown" support! :)
As Bethel 3 is my "home" Bethel, it is hard for me to find the words to express how proud I am of you!! I know that there was a lot of pressure on you, and I want you all to know that I am EXTREMELY PROUD of the work you did at the Grand Visitation. I love you all!!!
I really thought the white robe looked good on me, even if it wasn't regulation length! :) And Mom Melanie was enjoying the new "bling" a lot! And if you don't know what that means, well, you just kinda had to be there!! But I am sure there will be some GREAT pictures at Session if you just have to see it!
The reception downstairs was soooooo good!!!! I loved the lasagna and the spaghetti, and the meatballs, and the cookies, and the brownies, and I think there was a veggie or salad in there too! But the cookies were REALLY good!
I am sorry that our original plans got sidetracked, but we still had a great time afterwards at the Sleepover!!
More on that to be continued....

Thank you so much Bethels 3 & 22 for an AWESOME GV! It's always nice, after being on the road virtually every weekend, to finally come home. Dad Bill and I got to do that at this GV. We were surrounded by the members and adults for respective Bethels and there was no better way to feel at home.
ReplyDeleteFor my remarks, I chose the song "Happiness" from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. I chose it for several reasons, one being a particular line from the song: "And happiness is coming home again." I may have been 4 hours from my actual home, but inside that Lodge room, I was home. I was home with my Bethels and I am so grateful for that time.
I am so proud of each and every one of you! Your ceremony was phenomenal and the fact that you memorized your parts only made it more powerful. Thank you for taking the time to do that for us. It means more than you know.
Thank you for putting Dad Bill in a robe. It was CLASSIC!!!! :)
Hope to see y'all on the road!!
Jobie love,
Mom Melanie
