We hosted a big emerging-on-adolescence party here last weekend.
Jeff Salem, a drummer we’ve met through our Suzuki excursions, hauled tubs and tubs of drums, shakers, rattles, tambourines and assorted noise makers into our home, handing them out to every man, woman and child and invited all to MAKE NOISE!
And so they did — rhythmically pounding out names, favourite foods, colours — anything to make a rhythm repeatable.
LI-ver and ON-ions sound a lot better than HAP-py BIRTH-day, for example.
The afternoon was a joyous, raucous, rambunctious event.
And our boy was thrilled.
It was also one of those moments where country living paid off. All that noise — and no neighbours.
Surrounded by his friends.
A perfect end to a very happy day.
