Are You Tired of Syncronicities yet? Here's another

Don and I served on our Ward Christmas social Committee this year. Ruthanna Jensen was our Chairman. I have never met a more organized sweet and thoughtful person in my life. Ruthanna had everything all worked into a time schedule, Even to when to put the Chicken in the oven I had an easy Job, I helped decorate, chopped things up for our home made Cranberry sauce, and cooked carrots for 300 People, then I helped serve the meal. Everything was going along according to schedule when shortly before the dinner was to start we checked the chicken, most of the chicken was still raw. Several of us took pans of chicken home to cook in our own ovens, and we had to make an annoucement that dinner would be delayed for a bit as the chicken still needed to cook a bit longer. Ruthanna was visibly upset and blaming herself thinking the social was ruined. We tried to reassure her that everything would be fine, and actually it was, people were visiting and singing Christmas carols and having a good time but still it ruined Ruthannas day and what was even worse was that it was her birthday that day. Happily the Chicken got cooked Dinner was served and we had a record turnout of people and there was plenty of food to go around. The Synchronicity happened a few days later, Ruthanna was at the University of Utah taking sonmething to her daughter when she walked by a banquet room filled with people, just as the M. C. made an announcement that dinner would be delayed because the Chicken wasn't finished cooking yet. It was then that she was finally able to relax and laugh about our own Christmas Social Dilema.
