We decided to have nothing available to our guests - we just left to waving hands.

My mom made little rice-holding rose buds with leftovers from bridesmaid dresses. I still have a couple.

However, another favorite that should probably go the same way are those rock-hard sugar coated almonds at wedding showers!

The rice swelled (swollen.) into a mountain. It took a lot of effort to clean and repair. The pranksters worked for Uncle Bens and paid for it all.

I was given a good send off by colleagues, and left to get the bus home. At the bus stop I opened my shoulder bag to get out my purse for my bus fare - and out fell a shower of confetti onto the pavement! I am sorry to,say, there was nothing I could do about it, so I had to leave it there. And I was someone who was critical of litter on the streets!

What I didn't expect at all the next morning was taking the cap off my hairspray can sending rice flying everywhere. Unfortunately we had spent the night in my husband's aunt and uncle's home atop Market Street in San Francisco because they were away on a camping trip, so we had to find their vacuum cleaner and clean it all up.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.com
