Our very good friend Don turned fifty this month of October. His wifey threw him a surprise birthday party and it was Scott and my task to get him there unbeknownst to him. This is what transpired on that day.
3:00pm - Cherylynn calls Scott to relay information. Don has come home early and has left the house and is on his way to meet at the church . . . Scott hurries out the door of our house to head Don off with many distractions at said new building.
4:00pm - Cherylynn calls Cindy and asks if she has heard anything from the boys and to inform her that it is raining all over the party products . . . ha, it never rains in southern California. The mission is adjusted accordingly.
5:00pm- Scott calls Cindy to give an eta at the Roderick home . . . right on schedule.
5:30pm - Boys arrive to pick Cindy up for dinner and Cindy feigns homesickness for Shae . . . insists everyone sit down and view the graduation DVD . . . after that presentation, Scott retires to the bathroom . . . following that diversion, Cindy retires to the bathroom . . . we are to arrive at the destination point at 6:15pm.
6:00pm - Addison calls Cindy and says try to stretch it to 6:30pm . . . we are running out of options. Cindy pulls out the dog barking notice and discuss the ramifications with Don and Scott.
6:15pm - We saunter out to Don's car and Cindy forgets sunglasses . . . discussion in car about the need for sunglasses on a cloudy day . . . it is decided that they are not needed and travel to rendevous point ensues.
6:25pm - Don, Scott and Cindy get out of car and enter home . . . "SURPRISE" echos throughout the abode while Don stands there with a puzzled look on his face. Words can not describe his glee.
Mission 50 years old, complete.
