whimsical wednesday!

the cosher planned for this whimsical wednesday was a small going away party for my sister, who is moving to another state in a few days.  wednesday is the usual day a friend and i have lunch at a favorite restaurant.  my sister sometimes joins us. since today would have been her last opportunity to participate we decided to make it special and surprise her. 

however, today was the day the moving company was to pack her belongings and load them into the moving van.  with this in mind we made the meeting time an hour later than usual, indicating we would wait for her even if she couldn't get there at the appointed time.  there we were with balloons and presents, anticipating her arrival so one of us could meet her at the door in order to pay for her meal.  alas, it was not to be.  she called to inform that the moving process would last much longer into the afternoon than would be practical for us to wait for her. 

we ate our meal, then gathered the goodies and made our way to her house.  if she couldn't come to the party, the party would come to her!  she wasn't surprised to see us as we said we might come by after lunch, however, she was surprised to see balloons and gift wrapped presents!  she liked the balloons and loved the presents.....the ingredients for m&m casserole and a wall hanging our mother cross stitched (and i framed) for her new house.  it was a special way of saying farewell; cosher "mission accomplished" this whimsical wednesday.
