All week has been drizzly and damp but the weather didn‘t seem to bother the good spirits of the group. We didn‘t do the hay rides or the picnic and I think that helped us by letting us spend more time together instead of being busy doing stuff. All week I had admired a huge building on the slope facing us. I kept saying I wanted it for my home when I retire.  One of the granny expeditions had visited the place and told me that it was a hotel which explains its large size. I still would like to have it for a second home. Finally the time had come for most of the grannies to head homeward. In Branson the leaving didn‘t seem to affect me much but this year I almost couldn‘t stand it. As each car left I felt my heart tear. At my age I know the next 2 years until the next gathering is likely to see some of us depart this life.  I hated watching Pam leave but I will always remember diner with her and her daughter and granddaughter in Calhouns. Also her breathing exercises in Branson.  Glo, watching her and Dennis and Dennie leave was almost too much.  She has been my constant mentor with the webbie and computer. While watching the packing and leaving I noticed the sky was clearing after a week of drizzle. Of course Caro took this picture to feature my “Blue Bell“ belly  Beautiful rainbow. Look close and you will see a double rainbow.
