Saying goodbye

Last night was the going-away party for my co-worker, Denise, who was also part of our bible study for awhile. It was after work at Casa Ramos at the bottom of the hill (old Casa Lupe). Since Chris knew her too, from bible study, he met me at home and came with.
The party-girl, Denise, unwrapping her photo collage of friends and co-workers.
Like the big chain restaurants, Casa Ramos has introduced their own 2 for $20 menu that we ordered off of. It included one appetizer (we chose flautas) and two entrees. Chris chose Mahi Mahi tacos.
And I picked the arroz con pollo.
I've never ordered it before at a restaurant and it was delicious. I sent the leftovers with some flour tortillas with the Canadian today for lunch.

While everyone was eating there was an open invitation to stand up and share with the group a favorite memory/funny story you had about Denise. I stood up and talked about the time Pam (receptionist) and I signed for a delivery for her from Zappos (shoe company), then took the box in the back, opened it, and replaced her new shoes with a pair of ratty slippers from Pam's car, sealed the box back up and delivered it to her office. She was so surprised and upset about the slippers that she called the company and complained. She even repeatedly told and questioned Pam about it and Pam kept her cool and nodded in sympathy and shock. Towards the end of the day, while she was out of her office, we ran back in, switched the shoes back, and put the box back. Then, as we were leaving for the day Pam and I went back into her office and asked to see the slippers one more time and when she opened the box up there were her new shoes. She was all confused and then figured out what was going on when Pam and I started laughing. She thought it was funny too, until she remembered that she'd called the company and would have to call them back and explain that her lousy co-workers had played a prank on her!
