planned and assembled "said" party for her birthday. the original plan was to have a picnic, but storms threatened about an hour before the planned start time (of course) so we moved everything in the house. all the guests arrived on time, parked out of sight (not an easy feat), the food was ready and i watched for the guest of honor.
i saw them pull up!!
her husband's original "story" to her was that we were all going to go to dinner. i know it was a chore for him, but he got her there on time. they came to the door and i answered and told them to come in
