The week running up to Dom's 10th birthday party was funny. Every day grandma would point out that the weather forecast was for heavy rain on Saturday. Every day I would answer that the forecast was not always right and we could well have a sunny afternoon.
In the event it rained - and we feel back on plan B - to hold the party indoors.
It was less than ideal, having 16 ten year olds in a relatively confined space - but Ant worked wonders to keep them all busy and happy.
Afterwards I reflected on the fact that grandma had had a miserable week expecting rain to ruin everything, while I'd had a hopeful week, knowing that even if it rained we would survive.
I remain an optimist, even though she was right this time...
Sad news about a long-time reader and a WDTPRS look at the Collect of the
Mass “for the sick near to death”
-
I received sad news. A long time reader and commentator here, even longer
from my time with The Wanderer, passed away last night. In your kindness
please...
