Organizing Parties.

This past Saturday, on Halloween, SOGP's mother celebrated her 90th birthday.  I decided that she deserved a party, so I started out organizing a family party.  What we ended up doing was an afternoon tea party (lunch) for all her cronies in the housing coop she lives in, and an evening family dinner.  60 to 70 people at lunch, and 30 people at dinner.  It was a lot of work, but her grandkids pitched in beautfully, and she had a great time.  Also, although the forecast was for rain, we had the most beautiful day, with glorious sunshine and no wind.  Beautiful.  I even managed to order the Governor General's greeting in time.

She really had a great time.  :)

That sounds nice.

I think it was. I mean: I think it was nice because I didn't have one of those terrible moments where you realize that you have forgotten the most important (since it is missing) thing. I'm pretty sure SOGP's mom had a good time, so that's nice too.

I mean: *whew*, you know? :)

Sounds great. :-) It's lovely when hard work comes together like that.
