B My name is Paula and Im happy to help you with the surprise you are planning. Here are my ideas: The party will be held at the Golden Hotel. A room could be booked in your name for next weekend. A horseback trail ride would be arranged for Sheila at 11.00 sharp. She loves horseback riding. It would also give us time to check on the party preparations in the Orchard Room. I might be assisted by Olivia and Karen because therell be plenty to do. For example, flowers will be delivered by the florist in the morning. Bouquets should be arranged in pretty carts all over the room. Ive told the girls that the surprise must be kept a secret. Gourmet meals should be served at the party. This can be taken care of by the hotel staff. The manager says the food could be brought to the Orchard Room at 8.00 p.m. I hope you like these plans. Im sure Sheila wont be disappointed!
