Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to

be consoled as to console; to be understood as to

understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that

we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and

it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.

I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row.

I decided to change calling the bathroom the John, and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet.

Old age is coming at a really bad time.

When I was a child I thought “Nap Time” was a punishment. Now, as a grownup, it feels like a small vacation.

The biggest lie I tell myself is, "I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it."

I don't have grey hair; I have "wisdom highlights." I'm just very wise.

If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would've put them on my knees.

Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice.

7/6/16 JOHN H. PHILLIPS, A.W. Windhorst Lodge No. 185, was born in Tampa, Florida. He enlisted in the U.S. Marines and served in the Pacific for two years during World War 2. He then returned to Florida where he worked at his Uncle’s Construction and Plumbing business. The business was connected with the Pipe Fitters Union in several states, and he worked there until his retirement. His interest in buying and selling antiques, led him to open 5 Antique Shops in different states. John has been a Mason for 67 years! John stays busy using his magnifying reading machine. His other interests include traveling, string music, singing, reading the Bible, American Indian history, and gardening. He also considers himself to be a good handyman. Welcome, John to Room #141A!

The residents would like to thank all the Service Guild Members who do so much! Besides the recent

Christmas in July Party, they even gave the Chapel a beautiful cross to display at Sunday Services!

7/14/16 ANN RUNETTE VIZANDIOU

Floral City Lodge No. 133 7/20/16 SAMUEL FREEMAN J.F. Swartsel Lodge No. 251

7/27/16 CARMELA BLOODGOOD Tarpon Lodge No. 112

came to The Masonic Home

on December 12, 2011, and is

Sponsored by Hillsborough Lodge No.

25. She resides in Room #271E. Edna

was born in Swainsboro, Georgia on

January 5th. She had one sibling, Billy,

who died suddenly when he was two years old. Edna was married to

Henry for 68 years. They met in Savannah, Georgia while they were at

a Boarding House visiting a mutual friend. Henry had been recently

discharged from the Army and Edna was attending college. Henry and

Edna were married on October 5, 1947. They had two children;

Tommy and Patty. Tommy lives in Tampa and Patty resides in Utah.

Edna also has four grandchildren, one great-grand child, and one on

the way. Edna worked part-time for the University of South Florida

Credit Union as a Bank Teller and she also worked at the Chamber of

Commerce assisting with Guest Services. Henry worked for the

Railroad Service as a Telegraph Operator and then a Train Dispatcher.

Henry’s job with the railroad required them to move to Florida in

1948. They first lived in Bartow, then moved to Lakeland, and finally

Tampa. When they retired they sold their home and downsized their

lifestyle so they would be able to travel. They traveled all through the

United States and Canada, Nova Scotia, China, Hong Kong and Europe,

among many other places! Sadly, Henry passed away in June of this

year. He was a dear sweet man and is greatly missed by many. Henry

and Edna have always been such great sports dressing up for special

events, especially for Halloween some of their Halloween couple’s

costumes were; Raggedy Ann and Andy, Popeye and Olive Oyl and The

Grinch and Cindy Lou! They were also nominated Valentine King &

Queen in 2013! Edna used to be involved in gardening and she loved

to decorate. She played Bridge, Canasta and tennis with friends and

she was involved in ceramics, sewing and knitting. Now, Edna spends

her quiet time reading and watching television. Her favorite games to

play are Bingo, Blackjack, I Doubt It, Horse Races, Roulette Wheel and

Po-Ke-No. She attends Chapel Services, parties, ice cream socials, and

also Volunteers in the Boutique. Edna likes going on shopping trips

and hunting around for her favorite sweet treats! Everyone is drawn

into Edna’s fun-loving personality... needless to say she is loved by

everyone and we are so lucky to have her as a part of our family!
