Brain-Storming

Brainstorming is….the unrestrained offering of ideas or suggestions by all members of a group or conference to seek solutions to problems…..
A single brain-storm is a series of sudden, violent cerebral disturbances…Colloquial…a sudden inspiration, idea, or plan…

Lo and behold…..yesterday became a time of….brain storming!
For a couple of week now I have wracked my pea brain to find a solution to the upcoming birthday for Charlie, my husband….
Saturday is that day…
As I tried to put it together previously….nothing worked.
I simply gave up….surrendered to the fact that everyone involved had a million and one plans already in motion.
Within an hour yesterday….plans were complete.
My Southern Barbie Doll…..Brittney….grabbed her trusty cell phone and contacted all members of the Family Zoo simply saying in her sweet, direct voice of authority……”Saturday we’re having Pops Seafood Birthday Party and the only way you can get in the door is wearing Gator clothes and bringing a bathing suit. We are having Blue Crabs, Aunt Terry is making shrimp, I’m doing sautéed red potatoes…..Now, what food do you want to bring?”
Every single person responded automatically….even half-asleep brother Matt who works the night shifts. The brain-storming ended within the hour with a solution to the problem I’ve wrestled with…off and on….for a long time…I salute you…Brittney Perry!
As my Mamma used to say in her very Southern colloquialism…..Britt had a ‘bee in her bonnet’……
Mission accomplished….Happy Birthday Pops!!!
