How About a Picnic – Your Place or Mine
My intentions were to provide Jenn with a splendid afternoon
complete with a picnic. We would drive out to this nice, secluded
field I knew of that rested on the outskirts of town. There were
rolling hills all around and the view from this particular spot, though
not what one would call breathtaking, certainly outdid the
day-to-day views of downtown buildings and street corners.
We were to leave around 3:00 in the afternoon, so the sun was
going to be out and there would be no need for a jacket. This what
was SUPPOSED to happen.
The day before we were to have our picnic, Jenn called to
tell me she had to go home to visit with her ill grandmother (yes,
she really was ill). At first I was crushed, but I was determined to
follow through with my intentions, even if the way they would be
carried out would be slightly different. She did not have to leave
until 2:00, so I decided to have her over for about a half hour
or so in order to try and salvage the remnants of my idea.
I made sandwiches, had sparkling champagne (Asti, if you can
call that champagne) and tortes for dessert. I placed all of the
food items in a picnic basket. Now, as I said we did not have the
time to GO on a picnic, so I decided to have the picnic at my
place. I borrowed a green blanket from my friend and draped
it over the couch and down onto the floor. I turned one of my fans
on low and had it oscillating across the blanket to simulate the
gentle breeze that we would have outside.
Finally, I put on some baroque music for atmosphere. I went
to pick up Jenn and brought her back to my place. The smile on
her face when I opened the door to our “picnic” will forever be in
my memory. I was determined to give Jenn a decent afternoon;
her smile told me I had succeeded. – by Kevin Lydy
