Have you ever really felt the need that you wanted to do something But you thought it would cost too much. But you still really really really wanted to do it and then it all worked out?
Funny question I know! My dad turned 91 today 2 days ago I saw on Facebook that my friends had hired this mini pony party for her dad's birthday. I immediately wanted to do it for my dad. I have several siblings So the cost could be minimized if everyone participated. I offered to pay $100 if I could get a few of them to pay $25 to cover the cost. Well at first a couple of them brushed it off. A couple didn't even bother to answer me and then one told me they couldn't afford it which I totally understand, then my brother stepped up and said he would help and one of my sisters So I booked it. one sister that makes more money than anyone else in the family told me it was too expensive. I wish I would have been smart enough to say $25 is too much for you? But then today it all fell into place. You see we have a family camp out every year since there are 10 siblings we only have to plan at every 10 years. This year was my turn so we booked a pavilion at a popular park. Covid19 cases have spiked ridiculously high every single day. My husband kept telling me that I needed to cancel it. I told him I was waiting till July 1st. Then today I got a phone call from Parks and recreation on that because Salt Lake county is now mandatory to wear a mask and only small gatherings of people. Well I already have 30 that had RSVP'd and there's a chance we could have up to 45 or 50. So I canceled the park. ordinarily you don't get your deposit back but because of covid 19 they are refunding our money. So I quickly sent out an email canceling the family reunion and telling the family that our family get together would be tonight at my dad's with the pony. We bought the cake, we bought the balloons and we paid for the pony and now my turn is done for 10 years. It was so much fun but hardly any little kids came including my own grandkids of course dang it!
Sorry my answer is so long but now I have plenty of very cute pictures to scrapbook.
Happy Saturday!
