So most of you know I wanted to have a beach wedding and a stupid tropical storm showed up on my squashing my plans. I'm not going to say it was ruined, because the weddings was still awesome. It's just that it was disappointed.
OK, since THANKSGIVING I along with my mom and siblings have been planning a 70th surprise birthday party for my dad. It's to be a backyard BBQ at my parent's house. Dad has tee time that morning with a bunch of friends. As soon as he leaves we swoop in and set the place up for the party. None of us living near my parents. Brother, his family and myself are flying in on Thursday for this and staying at my sister's which is 2 hours away. Other brother lives 5 hours away. So we are leaving the respected houses early the morning of the party driving down to set this up and then staying at their place that night.
So the point of the this post? Yep you got it, the 10 day has 70% chance of showers. The national map is one big blog of med-to-dark green the entire east of the Mississippi.
GRRRRRRR
What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests. Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.
