You just gave me an "aha" moment. If more stores looked like this, I wouldn't hate shopping. I always wondered why I hated shopping when all my girl pals adore it so. I call myself the guerrilla shopper. I go in, I scope out where I need to go, I find what I need, then I get myself out of there. And today I know why. There's no beauty anymore. Our community has its Walmart. Being a small place, we don't have much else. Walmart is cheap, but Walmart is boring. They are all alike. Grocery stores are all alike. Malls are all alike. Day in and day out, nothing changes. But that flower store--just look at it. A visual treat--a place to explore. By the very nature of flowers, it is always changing. I want to go there and spend money. And now I know. I don't hate shopping. I hate the mundane. Wow. You just gave me an “aha” moment. If more stores looked like this, I wouldn’t hate shopping.

Rhymes and flowers. Your words sing and my heart will always swoon for the beautiful bundles of pretty you made for many and especially for me. Our family is so fortunate to have a Daddy that is so gifted with words and the ability to make everything pretty. I will miss the playground of your youth, but the flowers we are nurturing named Mia and Max are the best bouquets yet. Always your flower forever. Cindy Ah one of my favorites. Rhymes and flowers.
