I got a wonderful surprise today. A man came walking down the sidewalk and Danny started barking. I was afraid to open the door so I looked out the clear part of the glass and saw it was the Federal Express man. Someone sent me flowers. The return address was San Diego, CA. I don't know anyone there. I opened the box and saw it was from my good friends, Naomi and Jim. Naomi is my sister-in-law's sister. I went to school with three of the sisters. The flowers are a bouquet of irises with a vase. They haven't opened yet but are starting too. They will look beautiful
I didn't do too much today. I weeded some more and called the cable company as I wasn't able to get into my voice mail. Evidently, they change the program and the code had to be reset. They claimed they sent me a letter about it but I never got it. I was going nuts entering my code and getting a message that it wasn't a valid code. After getting that taken care of, I called Naomi to thank her for the flowers. We talked for a while and we were both having trouble with our phones.
Erin came home from her job around 4:30 and was talking to my next door neighbor, Robbie. He said he would cut my grass this weekend as he owes me a grass cutting from last fall. I had forgotten that I prepaid him and he wasn't able to do it. I'm glad he will be doing it as I hate cutting grass. I hate weed wacking even more. I use Roundup as much as possible to cut down the weeds.
After dinner, Erin and I went for a walk around town. There were a couple shops open so we went in. There was also a wedding going on at the church. The bridesmaids have on short, hot pink, sleeveless dresses and wore hot pink flip-flops. The men wore navy blue sport jackets and khaki pants. Somehow, the casualness didn't seem appropriate for a formal wedding.

How nice to receive flowers. Would brighten anyone's day.
Posted by: Phyllis East at April 28, 2012 12:25 PMHi Karol, How very nice it was for you to receive flowers when you were not expecting a gift from anyone. That is when a gesture such as sending flowers is so genuine and dear. An unforgettable memory for you.
Oh my, hot pink short dresses and bright pink flip flops. Does indeed seem a little different, but, many in this generation feel they can do most anything that "feels good", and it is presumed that the world should just blindly accept this as A-OK. It surely isn't the way we (an older generation) think about formal weddings. I wonder if the minister that married them struggled with all of this? It's a whole lot different than what we were taught. We shake our heads and ask how this all happened!
Have a great weekend Karol. Ruth
