This probably happened to you I know it happened us. You have been planning an event and everything is in place, then out of the blue something goes wrong. Here is one of my tales of woo.
Micki had been planning this party for the group that went on a Greek Cruise with us. Everyone was to bring their picture so we could all relive the trip again. All our friends were bringing plates of their special food and we were to furnish the drinks and some more food. That afternoon our power went out. Micki called the power company, Florida Power and Light, and they said” they could not give any time that the power would be back on, except it might be on after midnight”.
Micki was ready to call off the party but for some reason I thought we should go ahead and have it. Micki said OK but you call everyone and tell them that we probably won’t have electricity at our house, better than that she said tell them we are going to have a hurricane party and to bring lanterns and flash light.
When I called people they thought that this was going to be a wonderful party and one guy even said he would bring his portable generator. All the girls were tennis players and wanted to watch an important tennis match. With the generator it made that possible. But that was all the power that little generator could produce.
Florida in the summer can be quite warm even in the evening, but heat didn’t seem to bother anyone. Us guys were going over the picture and reliving the island we were at and sampling wine. What could be better? The girls got to see the tennis match. Everyone was happy.
Then the unexpected happened, the power came on. We were having some much fun without FPL we were quite disappointed.
Micki and have had many, many parties, but the no power party is the one we remember most.
Moral, accept the unexpected.
