Shoutout to the storm that killed my Saturday cookout, ended up learning my grandpa's dominoes game instead
Had 14 people coming over for a backyard BBQ last Saturday and a freak storm rolled through around noon and wrecked it. So my grandpa pulled out this old dominoes set from 1968 and taught me and my cousins how to play. Honestly had more fun around that kitchen table than I would've had standing around a grill. Anyone else got a canceled plan that turned into something way better?
Oh man, that reminds me of the time my cousin's wedding got hit by a power outage. Whole reception went dark for about two hours, so everybody just sat around with candles telling stories about the bride and groom. Her uncle had us in tears with a tale about the groom wrecking a tractor on their first date. They never did get the band going again, and nobody seemed to mind. Sometimes the plan falling apart is the best part.
