It's a very special day...

[girlyswot]

At a cold ice rink, somewhere in the wilds of Nova Scotia, a group of 9 year old hockey stars are huddled around their coach. Up in the stands a shivering group of moms wearing thick coats are watching with a mixture of pride and boredom. A man wearing a long dark overcoat slips unobtrusively into the stands, making his way towards them. His eyes are searching out one in particular: a tall, slim, woman wearing a turtle-neck and jeans who has a notebook and pencil in hand. She seems to be writing…


'Mary? Mary Carroll?'


The woman turns in surprise. All the other moms, the boys out on the rink and the coach, a particularly handsome man who looks like he would be capable of flashing a wireless router and clearing out a hard drive without blinking an eyelid, are watching with big grins that suggest they are all in on the secret.


The man smiles broadly, producing a large red leather book and a microphone. His voice booms out, 'St Margarets, welcome to your 'Days of Destiny.'

You and moonnette have done an incredible job. It must have taken hours just to organize the content, and that's on top of writing the Days of Destiny AND the This Is Your Life shows. Congratulations, this is so amazing, and I hope Mary will enjoy it even more than us.

Y'all have done an incredible, amazing job!! THANKS for all your hard work. :-)

Thank you for pulling it all together...

Ros, this is absolutely marvelous! You've take rather disparate pieces and made it into a polished whole. I am sure that Mary will know how much we respect and love her.

WOW! This is excellent. Thank you so much for putting it all together. I have no idea how you managed it--particularly all the layers--but it's wonderful! I can't wait for Mary to see it... *GRIN*

This is such a wonderful idea! I was managing to read along somewhat composedly here at work, but the appearance of Guy Smiley had me giggling madly. I can't wait for St. Mags to read it. :D

Well done for getting all this together, at a time when you're having your own difficulties. There's a lot of hard work gone into this. Everyone's entries were wonderful. I'm surprised Will didn't acquire an extra scar or two in the process.

Happy Birthday Mary.

OMG! Look at all of this! I can't believe how much work all of you put into this. Thank you, thank you.

I recognized Bill's contribution right away. I'll sign up for the community and then I'm going to read at my leisure and leave everyone lots of comments. I don't know if I can get to everyone's comments tonight, but I hope to.

What an amazing surprise!
