The rest of the group and the puzzle!

Lee laughed when Gretta and I started this puzzle and he said, "You'll never get this done in a week."  Maybe he has learned, now, that he nailed the final nail in the coffin of getting that puzzle done when he said we couldn't do it.  That's all Gretta and I needed to hear to make it certain that we'd finish it.  I even sat out of a day of Nertz games to be sure we finished it.  It was way fun.  Even Raynie and Elena were helpful in putting in some 'matches.'  In this picture is Sadie, Megan, Trish, holding Raynie, me and Garrett.

It's funny.  People ask what we do when we go to Branson.  We sometimes see a show or two, but mostly we have some standard things we do.  Swim.  Puzzles. Card games.  Cheese ball.  Chex.  Those are STANDARD and we always do them.  Of course there is always shopping and hiking, too.  We like staying up late and sleeping in, too.  Oh, there are the hot tubs and jet baths, too.  The most important thing is that we do it all together and the company is what makes it work so well.  Fun, fun, fun!  I treasure the memories of all the fun trips we've shared and I thank God for making it all possible and safe for us every year.
