It was a lovely day to be outside.

I really didn’t want to give up my parents open-house for their fiftieth anniversary.

It was such an important plateau and I felt it should be celebrated.

My husband and I gave a lot of thought to what we were going to do in lieu of a huge surprise party for them. We knew we couldn’t get everyone inside to have the party. The staying in place order was still in place. We started considering what we were going to do. I thought it may be fun to have an open house. People could come and go when they wanted to. We could have the party outside, with the help of some coolers for food. We had a party tent with a portable air conditioner, so my parents didn’t get overheated. The air conditioner was perfect for the size of the tent, and the rental company gave us the air conditioner with the rental of the tent. It was odd, but we gave visitors times when they could visit. Everyone thought it was funny to have a party this way, but they were glad to come visit. We had mom and dad cordoned off like they were visiting dignitaries. Seating was placed as closely as safe so their guests could sit and chat for a while. The day turned out to be lovely, and the air conditioner was welcomed. We didn’t get nearly as many guests as we had hoped, but we were happy for those that did show. Mom and dad loved their air conditioned shelter and they said they felt like movie stars.
