I would like to give an update on my young marine from Iraq that ord. the flowers for his girl for valentines day.I tried for four days to deliver them without success, called, went to her house, left messages saying I have flowers for her please call so that we could deliver them, not one call back from her, he would email me an say please try again even after valentines day was over, I called again, still no response. I finally told him to send me his address an I would return his money. I came to the conclusion that this girl did not want his flowers an did not share the same feelings for him as he did for her.

Big surprize today He called an said he was back in town and wanted to see me, he came to the store gave me a big hug an thanked me for all my help,then he told me what I had supected all along she was no longer interested in him an wanted to date others. I felt so sorry for him, this guy has been to Iraq fighting for our country an thinking that he had a girl back home waiting on him. At least she waited untill he got back before telling him.

I  had never seen him before but for anyone that was looking for someone he seemed to be a very nice young man, handsome,single,driving a beautiful red BMW. I thought as he drove off that I did't think that he would be sad for to long, I am sure that some young woman would be happy to receive flowers from him.

The weather is really terrible right now with the constant rain on again off again for the last month.what ever happened to our beautiful Ca. sunshine?I am sure that it will be back to normal soon with the endless days of sun shining for days on end an you get to thinking that it really doesn't rain in southern California.  Back to reality, homes are sliding down hills, one whole block of homes condemmed because they have been built on faulty foundations an no one wants to take the blame, in the meantime home owners have to continue to pay the mortgage for something they can't live in, seems very unfair to me especially when I read that the city wants them to pay to have their own homes demolished.,Its unreal. Human lives are also being lost due to the weather. I received news last night that my friends cousin was killed in a car accident, her car hydroplaned on a wet road an she lost control, killed instantly. The sad thing was when she called to tell me I could't believe it because she was just on the phone with me two hrs. before telling what a wonderful time they had at the wedding of a close relative the day before. Why is it so hard to find the right words to say to confort a greiving friend, I have been in this situation before an you want to say the right things but it is so hard.I went over tonight to sit with her, carried a nice dish garden  an we looked at the last pictures that was taken of her at the wedding.In the end I think that its just best to go an sit with the person an let them do the talking. She said the cousin did't have insurance an that is bad because now the family is going to have to pool thier money together to bury her,I gave a small donation for that, thats one thing we can all do in that situation I guess ,because it is even expensive to die.    & nbsp;   &n bsp;   &nb sp;   &nbs p;     ;         & nbsp;   &n bsp;   &nb sp;   &nbs p;     ;         & nbsp;   &n bsp;   &nb sp;   &nbs p;   

How do you tell a guy that she doesn't want his flowers, I have

this poor guy that calls an order flowers from Irac for  his girl.

The reason I say she doesn't want them is she never calls back.

this is his second time  calling an placing an order,first time he

called an spent lots of money on two designs,roses and a mixed

bouquet.I called an called,left all kinds of messages on both home

an cell, finally caught up with her, beautiful girl,seemrd very happy

when she received them.then he wanted me to email him with her reaction. This time he ordered roses fo valentines to be delivered on

Sat. called back an said he couldn't wait for her to receive them and

would I send them  on Friday instead,no problem anything for our young

service men, I made her a beautiful design pink an white rose mixture

I wanted them myself after making them, pink is my favorite color.

I started calling her early on Friday an left messages, no response.

I personally went  ;by her apt. email from him sat. nite wanting details so

sad for me to say she was probably out of town, he emails back tonite

saying she would be home sunday sometimes, I am just checking my email before checking tblog so its to late now but all she had to do was call an say I'am home please deliver the flowers.I have come to the conclusion that she doesn't want them, I know to many women that would love to have someone sending them roses.

If there is another reason please let me know.

Valentines day is fast approaching an the orders are really coming in.

I need to be back at work right now but I have been going straight for

the last 10 hrs  so I decided to take a break, came home an hubby had

cooked a truly wonderful meal, him loving to watch Emeril is paying off big

time for me, I care nothing about watching Emeril but to each his own.

One funny order came in today, this guy wants somthing delivered to his

 girlfriends classroom (surgical tech class) that is supposed to make

everyone else green wiyh envy, 1 dozen roses in the most expensive

red vase, teddy bear an chocolates an if I could get my driver to sing

or wear a G-String, I told him to let the driver deliver the flowers

an for him to have on the g-string when she comes home.

Three Little Words

I love you, Three little words,not said often enough. Well its that

time of year, Valentines day,a day for lovers, friends or whoever you

want to know, that you love them. You can send candy, cards, diamonds

or flowers, does't matter to me even though I am in the business,

I would get into trouble for saying anything but flowers but the most important thing to me is that we convey it to the ones we love..

Just in case you decide to send flowers,its very important that you

convey the right message. Lets start with roses.roses are the most be-loved flower in the world. Red is the most preferred color,it symbolizes

Love,passion,an unity to name just a few of the meanings of red.

Black rose-death or hatred,purple rose grace an elegance also love at

first sight. Yellow rose--joy an friendship.

Pink rose__appreciation an gratitude. White rose__purity or

innocence. Peach rose__modesty

When giving red roses in full bloom, it means I love you still.

A single rose means you are the only one.

thats enough to get you thinking about what to do on the most

romantic day of the year.
