I am Lily . My parents planned a small party for Saturday because my grandmother turned seventy . On Thursday Mom sat at the kitchen table with some lists and asked how many guests would come . Dad counted some names on his phone and said maybe twelve people , not many children but some cousins from the coast . Mom asked if he sent any reminders to Uncle Mark . Dad said he sent some messages yesterday but did not receive any reply yet . We needed some food for many hungry visitors . Mom wrote some dishes on a paper and asked if we had any rice left in the cupboard . I checked and said there was some rice , not much , but enough if we bought some more at the shop . At the market Mom picked some vegetables for soup . The seller asked if she wanted any herbs today . Mom chose some parsley and some dill because the soup would feed many bowls . I carried some bags while she looked for some chicken . Back home Dad asked if we had any extra chairs . He brought some folding chairs from the garage and cleaned some tables on the terrace . I asked if many people would sit outside . Mom said some guests preferred the garden if the weather stayed warm . Grandma arrived early to help . She asked if we needed any advice about the cake . Mom smiled and said she already ordered some cream from the bakery . Grandma said some simple cakes tasted better than any fancy design with too much sugar . In the afternoon I helped set some plates and some glasses on a long table . My brother Tom asked if there were any napkins in the box . I said we had some paper napkins and some cloth ones for the adults . Tom counted some forks twice because he worried we did not have enough . I said many forks were in the drawer and we would not need any new ones . He relaxed and placed some flowers in a jar near the window . Before guests arrived Mom asked if I had any music ready on the speaker . I chose some calm songs because not every guest liked loud pop . Dad said some quiet music would help people talk without much shouting . The first visitors rang the bell at four o'clock . Aunt Rosa brought some wine and asked if we had any ice for drinks . Dad said he put some ice in a bucket near the terrace . Some neighbours came too and brought some bread . During dinner many people praised the soup . Uncle Mark asked if there was any more rice . Mom said she cooked some extra and he could take some home later . Grandma laughed and said she did not expect any party this lovely . After cake some children played in the garden . Tom asked if any of them wanted some juice boxes . Many hands went up , so I opened some boxes from the fridge . Mom said we did not spend much money but the day gave much joy .
