The Wednesday Play: Loving the Grind

Hi Playmakers!

Weddings. Birthdays. Promotions. Most people celebrate life’s big, shiny milestones.

But the party I remember most from my childhood?

A mortgage-burning party.

I was in third grade. Our house was modest and small, but to my parents, it was everything. They had poured their whole lives into it. That night, friends and family packed into our backyard. There were folding chairs, paper plates of potluck food, and a rusted fire pit in the middle of the lawn.
