Dear Friends,
 Aren't these over-sized daisies just the most fun?  We thought they would brighten our front porch and add a welcome touch of spring color. They are for sale in the shop also.
  I think everyone is truly ready for warmer weather & sunshine and eager to spend some time outside.
  Our hearts and prayers go out to the many people affected by the bombings in Boston.  How any human being can be so deranged to want to cause injury to innocent people is beyond comprehension.
   We made a quick trip to Colorado over the weekend and got a chance to see our little Shae play volleyball.  What fun to be in the bleachers and cheer her and her team on.   

 

WANT TO BRING SPRING INTO YOUR HOME?  We have so many new items to brighten your walls, tables and rooms.  New silk single stems, bushes of both blooms and greens that can be added to your existing containers.  New wall decorations and many statues for your garden.  These statues of angels and little children are in the new Bronze Dynasty collection. Garden benches are also in this collection  Who wouldn't want to add them to your patio or flower garden!  Gnomes have arrived in white washed finishes to create a little humor too. 

The new Bronze Dynasty birdbath is just one of the many cute additions for your garden.  Also pictured are one of the white washed gnomes resting on his Welcome sign. 

 

  

 

Impossibilities in the world

1.  You can't count your hair 
2.  You can't wash your eyes with soap 
3.  You can't keep your eyes open when you sneeze.


Ten things I know about you.....
1) You are reading this.
2) You are human.
3) You can't say the letter "P" without separating your lips.
4) You just attempted to do it!!!
6) You are laughing at yourself.
7) You have a smile on your face and you skipped
No. 5.
8) You just checked to see if there is a No. 5.
9) You laugh at this because you are a fun loving person and everyone does it too.
10) You are probably going to send this to someone to  see who else falls for it.  Have a Great Day!  Laugh, and then Laugh again and sing "It's a Beautiful Morning" even when it's not.

Do you know someone who is a Secretary or Administrative Professional?

 This person is usually the one behind the scenes helping the "boss".  They do many tasks no one ever knows about unless it doesn't get done.  They help to make the life of the "boss" a little easier by attending to schedules, answering questions, comforting an unhappy customer, composing letters, relaying directives from upper management and picking up loose ends that could cause problems for everyone. April 25 is Administrative Professional's  / Secretary's Day......let's give them a big "Thank You" for all they do to help management and keep our businesses running smoothly. 
      We have several flower specials perfect for those important people.  Remind someone to give us a call and we will deliver that "Thank You" for them.  
 

 

The  real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Gentle Thoughts   

                              from The Goat Gazette

 

* The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

*  The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.   

*  Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words "The" and IRS" together it spells "Theirs"  !!!!

*  The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

*  When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

*  If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.
