I did it!After months of planning, making calls, extending invitations, and even making extra trips to the Mexican restaurant in Madison, it happened.
Some 25 of my invited family and friends were able to surprise Carol as we went to dinner on her 65th birthday.
It was held at Pacho's in Madison. We eat at this restaurant weekly and know well not only the owner (Tony) and manager (Santiago), but all the waiter staff including Mayo--our own special waiter for the evening. I arranged thru Tony and Santiago to reserve the separate dinning room where two good friends from church were able to buy the necessary flowers, trimmings, and party favorites to make the room and tables "pop"!
By the appointed time of 6:30--Wednesday December 8th--all guests had arrived and were waiting for our unusual late arrival and on cue, yelled "surprise" as we rounded the corner into the room.
After many photos were taken of Carol with her "deer in the headlights" look and before we ordered dinner, I took a few moments to thank all who attended, participated, and traveled far (Carol's sister Kaye and her BF Allen flew in from DC, my buddy Jim Price flew in from Pittsburgh) for this very joyous occasion.
With the cameras clicking by several during the evening, Carol roamed the room to speak with all. At my request, our server was Mayo whom we have known for some time now--the food and service was great!
As we returned home late at night, Carol went "on and on" how happy she was and that it will be hard to "top" this 65th birthday!
