Lisa, our new countergirl (what you formerly called a soda jerk) is learning the ropes and the endless names of our regulars….be patient!  She is doing a great job at getting acquainted in the community and has been here since mid May.

Matney, my 13 year old granddaughter, is everywhere I need her to be.  I keep getting frustrated that I cant send her off in my car to pick up something like I do on the ranch!  She is showing herself to be mature and capable beyond her years.  Yeah Matney!

We welcomed Tammy Fuller to our staff in January, and in May, Lara Ashenfelter and Shelia McCoin joined Dorothy Schott to the part time fill-in status that is so important to keeping the sanity of everyone.  They are quick learners and help us out immensely.

Julie Barnett has been with us for 3 years and helps with the flowers, bookkeeping, displays, ordering, and general management duties.

Leslie Jamieson has been doing bookkeeping for almost 2 years now and manages to juggle her busy mom schedule – 2 baby boys and 3 older girls – and still keep her sanity.  She is much better watching the dollars than I am.

Don’t miss it!  50-75% off of lots of good gift items that the staff says, “move it”… I would just keep it around cause I liked it!

Rubberband Jewelry – put them on your wrist or on a keeper.  These are on their way and should be in stock soon.

We also just got in a new line of retro clocks like you might remember from your childhood.

Popular Arrangement – Sunrise Sunset : $25 to $30

Great for the desk of the one who takes care of everything.  If you have color preferences we can accommodate.  Have it delivered early so they can enjoy it all week.

We have other ways to show your appreciation, also!  We can recommend from a large selection of pampering products and specialty treats.  We recommend our $5 and $10 drink cards as an added bonus.

Check our registry list to see if your administrative professional has something specific on their wishlist.

We will have our new trees available in the first part of May.  If you have specific needs, please come in to see the catalog for special orders.

We are planning to pick up a good variety of shade trees and a limited amount of fruit trees.  The height will vary from 5 to 12 feet.

Prices will average at $30, more or less.

Hanging Baskets and Color Bowls

Hanging baskets and color bowls will arrive between the 4th and 7th of May, just in time for Mothers’ Day but late enough to avoid that last minute frost.

UPDATE:

We’ve sold out of hanging baskets, but still have plenty of overflowing color bowls and very nice HUGE trees and blooming shrubs.
