Other fun surprises

By Paula Matter

I'm hijacking my own post to add a video. It's too large to e-mail to my sister, so I am hoping I can add it here. (Just checked and it is working. Yay!)

Here's the story behind the video.

Last month my two sisters, (my older sisters as I like to remind them because I'm still apparently a bratty younger sister) planned a trip to Boston. One lives in New Orleans (that would be the oldest of the three of us), and the other lives in Florida.

Boston is only a 6-7 hour drive for me depending on how many cops are on the road. I decided to surprise my sisters with a visit. Long story short, I found out where they were staying, and where they were having dinner the first night.

I asked the restaurant manager (Yay Matt at Legal Seafood in Cambridge) if I could surprise them. I explained my plan and he, sweetheart that he was, agreed. The wonderful bartender, Shannon, asked if I wanted her to videotape it. She's the one holding the camera. Another helpful restaurant employee handed me a tray and off I went.

Hope you enjoy.

Too fun, Paula! What a great surprise for your sisters.

I've been to that same Legal Seafoods, the first time I took my middle daughter to Boston, on a marathon, three-state college tour. Hope you had some clam chowder, yum.

You're full of surprises today! lol

Karen, I did have the clam chowder. You're right--yum!

Glad you enjoyed the video.

Oh, Mary, I like that! Clever is so much nicer than sneaky.

Very sneaky.

And that last comment, ladies & gents, was from my older sister. Not the oldest one, but the one in the middle one.
