Well today Julia and I went to Beverly, Ohio for Rufus Putnam's inspection. Now let me tell you about Beverly, Ohio. You can not get there from Medina! It is on state route 339 just a little bit north of Marietta. When you turn on route 339 there is a sign that says "Beverly, 12 miles" but by the way the crow flies it is about 5 miles. Route 339 is one of the crookedest roads I have driven on so far this year.
Now when you get to Beverly, you find one of my favorite Lodge Buildings. Not because it is large and fancy, but because it is exactly what the Lodge needs. Several years ago the Lodge in Beverly burned and this is the new building. The members of the lodge had what they needed built rather than what they probably wanted. The have a functional building that doesn't eat them alive in taxes, utilities and insurance. Look at the pictures and tell me that what you see is was built by the Morgan pole barn folks. The dinning room is nice sized and the kitchen is efficient for what what meals they serve. Enough about the building! Let's talk about the Chapter inspection.
Rufus Putnam's inspection is normally on a Saturday morning with a breakfast. When Julia and I got there food was just about ready to serve. They had pancakes, sausage, biscuits and sausage gravy, orange juice and coffee. A really nice breakfast.
At 10:00 AM the Chapter opened the Mark Master Degree in full and proper form in a fine manner. The degree was then portrayed in an excellent manner on one candidate.
One the way home Julia and I decide to take the long way through Amish country. We went through Sugarcreek and Mt. Hope and ended up at Heine's Cheese Shop. Our dinner consisted of swiss cheese, or hot pepper cheese and crackers, Troyer's trail bologna and pastry from the bakery across the street from Heine's.
My string of good inspections continues, we had a great dinner and a good end to a fine day.
'til the next time.
