Our local town was having a “fireworks” display this last weekend, so we decided to have a cookout at our house and then everyone could go to the beach to see the fireworks. It was a great plan and would have worked well if it hadn’t rained. After spending hours getting the house ready for the cookout, we decided to go ahead with the party even though it was raining so hard that the fireworks were cancelled. Bad decision. After keeping everyone huddled under a tent in our yard, almost drowning as I cooked on the BarBQ, watching breathlessly as lightning filled the sky, and seeing our carfully groomed yard turn into a lake, we gave up and moved inside.
It was a great night with a lot of laughs and we’re glad we had the party. My wife has the attitude that when things go perfect, you really don’t remember the event well. But when things get screwed up, you laugh about it for years. This cookout will be remembered for a long time. Just Say’n

I agree that if everything is perfect you won't remember the event for long. But if something is out of whack you will laugh about it for years. My nephew got married in May and May in Iowa is usually beautiful. It was a gorgeous day but it was chilly. So chilly that all of the women in the wedding party had very perky breasts under their beautiful gowns. I think they all had bare shoulders and some of them were as red as if they had been severely sunburned. It was bright and sunny out which was nice for the photos but everyone could have used a nice Irish wool sweater over the dresses. LOL
