So...the whole reason I was even at home was to surprise my childhood friend at her bridal shower in Columbus...one of her friends contacted me a few months ago and asked what would be the possibility of me coming to her shower...I bought a ticket and the rest is history! So Sunday morning I got up and went to church with my parents...after church I left for Columbus...I wanted to stop at Hallmark and Barnes and Noble before the shower. I found the PERFECT card...having nothing to do with weddings or showers...and then bought the book by Lisa See called Snow Flower and the Secret Fan...because I want her to read it and it is about life long friends (Liza and I have been friends for 32 years). Once I got all of that...I was ready to surprise her! Her friend asked me to come right at 2pm so people could see the surprise...I walked into the Rusty Bucket at Polaris, and sure enough, she was surprised...she almost burst into tears...and she had NO IDEA I was coming...I was introduced to all of her friends (all of them seemed to already know me) and we sat down to eat. Rusty Bucket has the BEST deep fried dill pickle spears...and I learned one of the only places to get a cheeseburger with VELVEETA on it...so I was sooooo pleased. At the end...Liz's friend had got us all cupcakes from a local bakery...so cute, so many different flavors Ganache Dessert Kitchen...I think that is where they were purchased...even had red velvet!! After the shower, Liz and I headed downtown to check on a friend who runs a tattoo parlor...we visited him for awhile...and then drove through the OSU district...it has changed so much over the years...through Columbus downtown area...short north...and then we headed back to her place to visit...it was a great day, and a great opportunity to catch up with a GREAT friend!!
