The first trailer left the ranch today, which means the beginning of the end of the celebration. Tonight we were a party of 15 for dinner, eating the leftover food sitting around the only three tables left standing. Laundry was being done all afternoon in both houses. Tomorrow, only two groups are still in trailers and they leave first thing in the morning. Then we will be down to 6 to complete tidying up.
The cousins cried when saying goodbye. Last time they saw each other was five years ago at our 50th in Nova Scotia and they are afraid it will be another five years before they get together again. The bunkhouse was perfect for the 8 girls. They all have happy new memories.
David's skeet shooting was also a hit. Many people gathered to watch the action. The mule shuttle was busy. Not many could actually hit many targets, but it was fun trying. It was a first attempt for most folks.
We ate our last catered meal at noon today, which means the party really is over. But I believe we can eat all week on the leftovers, which is good because the food was wonderful. Everything must end and our celebration is now officially over!!

It was a wonderful celebration -- for two very special people. How many others their lives have touched! Dale and I were so fortunate to have been invited. Ruth and I worked together in 1964!! Fortunately, neither of us has aged very much -- tee hee! Thank you one and all for the memorable weekend.
We were hosted by Joyce and Robbie Muckleroy -- incredible hosts! Thank you one and all for everything that made this such a special treat.
