At Mom's Birthday, They Sat Me With Kids “ Until The Venue Owner Called My Name

At Mom's Birthday, They Sat Me With Kids – Until The Venue Owner Called My Name The Grand Pavilion ballroom was decorated like something from a magazine spread. Crystal chandeliers cast warm light over tables draped in ivory silk, each centerpiece a cascade of white orchids and roses that probably cost more than most people's weekly salary. Soft jazz played from speakers hidden somewhere in the ornate crown molding, and waiters in crisp white jackets circulated with champagne and appetizers. My mother's fifty-fifth birthday party was exactly the kind of event she'd always dreamed of—elegant, expensive, and designed to impress the seventy-five guests who'd gathered to celebrate her. I stood near the entrance, taking it all in. The venue was beautiful, I'd give them that. When I'd purchased the Grand Pavilion eighteen months ago, it had been run-down and struggling. Now, after extensive renovations and a complete operational overhaul, it was one of the most sought-after event spaces in the city. We were booked solid for the next fourteen months.
