Fort Myers

I stole this picture off their website to show you what their building looks like.

Installation Tropical Lodge 56

While in Florida I attended the Installation of the 08 officers at Tropical Lodge 56 in Fort Myers. It was a bit different then how we do it in Ontario. Except for the opening and closing of the lodge, the ceremony was open to the public, so that wives and family could attend.

They put on quite a spread for dinner afterwards. It was a good night...

Dayton

Just got back from a Christmas trip to Florida. Stopped in Dayton Ohio and took a few pics of this impressive structure on the way back. I'd like to get a tour of this place someday.

Decode if you dare!

Visit at the Windsor Ont. Temple

Just got back from a day trip to Windsor. While I was there I visited Dominion Lodge 598.

Here's some pictures from the Windsor Temple

City hall Toronto

Heres a few familiar sybols found on the front of Toronto's city hall.

Next time you're by there, take a look for them, they're pretty easy to find

St. Catherines Ontario

The family and I took a drive out to St. Catherines Ont. yesterday. While there, I thought I'd check out the site of the temple there. I've been thinking of visiting there this fall. It's a nice old brick place. There's some multiple use, a dental clinic and music academy are on site. Good to see the bills being paid.

More Philly pics

Philadelphia

Just got back from a short trip to Philly

The temple building is quite impressive, well worth taking the tour

You can also pick up some cool swag in their gift shop.

Around Back, St, John's cont.

Here's a few interesting pics around the outside

Inside...

Here are some pics of the blue room inside the St. John's temple

I've also included a detail of the plaque over the Master's chair, and the plaster work eye on the cieling.

Here's some detail of the front of the St.John's Temple. I was lucky, I got to attend one of the last meetings ever to be held in this building. More about that in a bit.

Got back from my trip to St. John's Newfoundland last week, unfortunately I came back with a terrible head cold I'm just starting to get over. Here's some pics to get started, I'll write more in a bit

The town of Creemore Ontario

Took a drive up to Creemore with the family, just to get away from the city for the day.

The town is home to Creemore Springs beer. We lucked out and got a tour of the brewery. I was on my way back to the van to drive home, when I looked up and saw a familiar symbol...

Scottish Rite Cathedral Hamilton

Just this last Thursday I visited St. James Lodge, which meets in the Scottish Rite Cathedral in Hamilton, Ontario. I didn't get as much of a tour as I'd have liked, but there's always next time.

here's some pics of the exterior.

Provincetown

Here's a pic of a lodge building in Provincetown, Cape Cod

More from Detroit

Here's some more pics from our recent Detroit visit. These are from the main theater. They aren't the best pics, but they give a sence of the scale and detail of the place. It seats upward of four thousand.

Gettysburg

Another place we stopped at last summer was Gettysburg. There's a masonic memorial there, next to the civil war cemetery. The town is a great place to visit, and stay a few days.

The Lost Ark

Here's another pic from inside the Washinton memorial.

See! We Masons do Have the Ark!!

Washington Masonic Memorial

Last summer the family and I made a stopover in DC for a couple days. While there, we visited the the George Washington Masonic Memorial. It's pretty cool. Take the tour, and bring your camera!
