Water Feature

I know this story is about three months late, but I made Kate send me this photo so I could tell it. (I just never did.)

Back in March, the girls (meaning Melissa, Mel, Kato, me, Em, and Muti) all congregated downtown for a night at the Marriott as a “last hurrah” for Emily before she got married. (Yes, it was one of those last hurrahs. This was the particular instance where Jesse said, “As if she won’t be available for hurrahs after she’s married!”) Anyhow, we all went to Five Star – an Asian restaurant – for dinner, and we met Aunt Rose there. While we were waiting for a table, Kate and I sat on this cement slab type thing, with a little statue of a Buddha between us. We leaned back and started laughing and giggling about random things (probably about people in the restaurant) because we were just in a silly mood. Suddenly, Kate says, “What the...why’s my hair all wet?” Then I suddenly remembered that one of my favorite things about this restaurant is their water-feature: basically a whole wall with water trickling down it.

I can just imagine what people must have thought – seeing us sitting there laughing and giggling...leaning right up against the water feature. But watching us figure it out had to be the funniest of all. We were in tears from laughter. Good thing I was wearing a rain jacket!

Ah, good times with Kato.
