Outcome: 100% rain
Oh, yes, it very much rained poured on us this past Sunday. It hadn’t rained in a month here in Seattle, but such was our luck that it had to rain that day :S
Yet it never fails to amaze me how these misfortunes are not the whole picture but are, in reality, just one side of the coin. There’s that other side that will awe us if we pay attention and recognize it, instead of simply succumbing to our adversities.
Due to the rain —and some underestimating on our part of the actual time it was going to take us do everything—, we were running very late on preparations when our guests started to arrive. Nevertheless, they were such good sports. Not only did they withstand the constant rain, but they even helped chop onions, stir the potatoes, wipe the chairs, and poke the tarp to release the accumulated water before it fell over us!!
Naturally, we had a great time as we enjoyed the food, the drinks, and the company. This will indubitably make for a great anecdote in years to come :)
