Good evening everyone. The weather gods have turned on us. It has been raining everyday for the last week...bummer. We had some nice days early on, but once we left for Branson and the family reunion it hasn't really stopped. But that didn't stop any of us from getting out and shopping...or going to shows...or eating while we were there. There were 16 of us this year, which made for a pretty lively crowd. A friend from nursing school joined us on Sunday and we had a good time catching up. I saw her at our 35th reunion almost 3 years ago. Our time here has been spent visiting family and some pretty intense game nights. Even Mark is playing the games...and he actually does better then most of us, and he doesn't like to play games! It's just not fair. We were introduced to a website sporcle.com which is lists and lists of trivia. If that is your idea of fun, visit the site.

The leaves here are all but gone...and what is left is the golden yellows...but there aren't many of them. I guess I have been forever spoiled by the vivid reds and oranges of New England.

Before you know it, we will be on the road home. In some ways, it seems that the time has just flown by. When anyone asks how the trip has been, Mark always answers..."Well, we haven't killed each other yet...so I guess that means it is a success!" I married a comedian.

We will spend a couple of days in Appalachicola on the way home. I taught a class there just before we left for vacation and it looked like an interesting town/area to visit. Yes girls, it's almost time to get rid of the demon cat...hang in there!

Talk to you all again later.

Terry and Mark
