Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I can't help but laugh even though these are serious situations, one after another.
Why do our kids torture us, lol? Is it too much to ask to KNOW how many guests are expected.
It does seem that your major occasions coincide with the chaotic events.
But you tell us these tales with a sense of humor and an ability to share them as a gifted storyteller.
Thanks for the re-tell. I missed it the first time around.

Thank you Pam. I really appreciate the review and you nice comments. I glad you got a chuckle from this. I find it funny now even though I didn't at the time.

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Six stars because I wanted to shake somebody! Namely, the son and D.I.L.
Maybe hubby next. JUST SAY NO! Lock the door and turn out the lights. Wouldn't that be funny!
Best wishes.

Thank you Wayne. Would you really do that? It too far in the past not and it was pretty aggravating at the time but I find it kind of funny now. I'll take those six star for whatever reason. I appreciate them.

No I wouldn't shake anyone. But I sure would be aggravated.

Oh I was aggrivated all right. Both at my son and new daughter-in-law, as well as her mom who was likely the main instigator.
Comment from Ulla
Hahaha, this is just too funny, Beth. No, of course it's not funny that your poor husband fractured his hip . . .far from it
But the overall chaos is just so. What can I say? You tell it so very well. I wish I had a six to give. Ulla:)))

Thank you Ulla. I love it when those who read these episodes from my past see the humor that I hope is there.

Comment from royowen
What an arrangement, it's just these sort of happenings that manage to render us helpless, and nothing else for it, but simply "go with the flow", what an amazing happening my friend, but it simply puts it in another ballpark doesn't it? Well done, blessings Roy
Typo : By (tramatic)reaction. Traumatic?

Thank you Roy, I really appreciate the review and comments. Yes, you are right. There isn't much you can do other than to go with the flow.

Good job
Comment from Douglas Goff
Was I supposed to laugh? Because I found my self chuckling more than once. This really felt like something out of Hollywood and not real life.
One catch:
He was transpored down three landing stairway
(Transported)
This is a very good write-up and well presented. And yes, very amusing to an outsider looking in. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Douglas. Yes, I was hoping folks would laugh. Things like this are funny in retrospect but not so funny when they're happening. Thanks for noticing the spag.

No worries. I love helping out great writers!

Thank you for resharing this post with us. I missed it the first time around. I am not sure how that happened, but it did. I did enjoy reading this and I do understand how all these mishaps happen. I think it's part of being from a large family.

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
In retrospect, it's too bad Don didn't take it as an omen to cancel the wedding. I recall another take on this unfortunate event in Remembering Yesterday. I'm behind in my reading in both books.

Thanks again I was planned to promote that one but got ahead of me.
I only had two in that series that hadn't made it to the 26 review mark. It would have been wise to take it as a omen but some have to learn the hard way.

Comment from Spitfire
Oops! I missed this when it paid. Sounds as if your son is marrying a thoughtless scatterbrain. I hope you like her. You are a rock to handle all this plus hubby having an accident! I got a kick out of your ending sentence.

Actually that is an old I haven't renewed yet. Yes she was a bit of a scatterbrain, and after twenty years she is now history. Maybe I'll get to that story at some point. I'm sorry it was paying but I appreciate the review.

You should have let him escape, hind sight is a cruel thing. This is a good story. I know your husband is probably blaming you for everything.

Well he wasn't exactly happy with me. He was convinced he would be a cripple forever but they had him walking again in no time. Thanks for reviewing and commenting.
Comment from Live2Write
You have had the most interesting and strange things happen to you. I love your composition style and your work is always a pleasure to read.
I had some suggestions for tightening:
She sent out the invitations, but (she) failed to
I imagine(d) people in every room and hanging off the rooftops.
Well done!
