I have an uncanny ability to read people; I had a good feeling about this guy. He called two days before Memorial Day and ordered a silk cemetery piece for his mother and one for his father. Not too unusual‚ since my sister and I owned a small flower shop in our hometown and it is common for out-of-state customers to have us deliver their orders to graves they are not able to visit. The fact one piece was to be delivered 25 miles away‚ wasn’t a request we had every day. His mother was buried in

You would think living in the Pacific Northwest‚ having to succumb to a harsh cold winter snow would be a norm. Well it’s not‚ and unfortunately snow is something of a blessing and more often than not‚ typically short lived when it does appear.

Have you ever had a feeling that you were meant to do something ? That you couldn’t have been made for any other purpose in this world... For me ‚ that was cheerleading.
